Perhaps they thought that given the nature of the bill and how the Repubs expressed support for it, they will vote for it. So why did 93% of Repubs voted against it while 94% of Dems voted for it?
Boy, you people are slow, dimwitted, sheep....this is not a republican, democrat issue... it is the rich, multinationals and insurance companies fucking the middle class, small business and even the insured who got ill, while saving lives during an attack. The fact that we even have this problem is symptomatic to the degenerate state of the US state of politics and affairs, and the dumbing down the general public. The reality is the the democrats are just as much a bunch of whores, in the pockets of the multis as the gop assholes...the people defending these despicable vermin are all trust fund babies and stock owners who would sell their grandmothers for quarterly profits.
Typical Con retort, when they are exposed in anyway - they would like to claim how both sides are doing the same. And between, the Repubs didnt vote for it because the legislation prevented foreign corporations incorporated in tax haven countries from avoiding tax on income earned in the US which the Repubs are calling as 'tax increase'. That doesnt sound like 'fucking the middle class, small business' as you like to claim. Do some research next time before getting your ignorant ass into a civilized discussion.
well if you look carefully, the special interests and complete lack of representation of citizen voters has been around for what, the last 40-years? When was the last time anyone uttered the words "campaign reform"? As long as the elections and politics stay as they are (corrupt!!!!), big money, special interest controlled, the people and small businesses will have no representation. The democrats are just as guilty as the GOP. They are all controlled by BIG MONEY...
Well, it was uttered very recently infact and guess what, the GOP voted it down. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/07/27/politics/main6718510.shtml
Let's try this again. 1. Who voted no? 2. Why, specifically, did they vote no? 3. What is the result of their voting no? Gee...
