and- having lost track of it- just got whacked with this and this. Just bloody wonderful. Especially since I found out my Rep. Mary Fallin voted for it. I had to find that out at GovTrack(which I now have bookmarked). I also found this:
Oct 23, 2007: This bill passed in the House of Representatives by roll call vote. The vote was held under a suspension of the rules to cut debate short and pass the bill, needing a two-thirds majority. The totals were 404 Ayes, 6 Nays, 22 Present/Not Voting.
When the congresscritters 'suspend rules' to cut debate like this, it's usually not a good thing for us. And yes, I'm telling her what I think of it.
And just to make my day complete, I found out that Sen. Coburn has endorsed McCain for President.
Appropriately for both, it's overcast, cold and raining outside.
"Sen. Coburn has endorsed McCain for President."
ReplyDeleteWOOT!
That's the first thing I've heard about the man that stinks.
I was honestly dreading the day when I found out he spends his time punching kittens in the throat or something because NO politician could be that decent a person.
Granted, McCain sucks as a presidential candidate, but it could have been worse.
