Rino Stampede???? Some of them critters don’t look like rinos.I’m confused.
Both McCain and Obama voted “Yea”
Here’s a quick recap of the sweeteners they added to this already ridicuouls bill:
· $223M for Alaskan fisherman
· $192M for rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
· $128M for auto racing
· $33M for companies operating in American Samoa
· $10M for film & TV production
· $6M for producers of wooden arrows
Now the rum and wooden arrows could come in handy if they are going to distribute them to the general population .... by the way, how many wooden arrows does $6 million buy?
Biden voted yes according to the post.
Any breaking developments with the guy who didn’t vote?
Dole did the right thing, but I am sure only because she is up for reelection.
Biden said in the debate that he and Obama voted differently
“· $33M for companies operating in American Samoa”
Companies owned by Pelosi.
He was referring to something other than the bailout / tax-extender votes of October 1st.
21:18: Dodd substitute amendment (bailout plus energy tax extenders) was PASSED, on a 74-25 vote (predicted 79-19) (NAY votes: Allard, Barrasso, Brownback, Bunning, Cantwell, Cochran, Crapo, DeMint, Dole, Dorgan, Enzi, Feingold, Inhofe, Johnson, Landrieu, Nelson (FL), Roberts, Sanders, Sessions, Shelby, Stabenow, Tester, Vitter, Wicker, Wyden)
21:41: Final passage of H.R.1424 (bailout plus energy tax extenders) PASSED, on a 74-25 vote (NAY votes: Allard, Barrasso, Brownback, Bunning, Cantwell, Cochran, Crapo, DeMint, Dole, Dorgan, Enzi, Feingold, Inhofe, Johnson, Landrieu, Nelson (FL), Roberts, Sanders, Sessions, Shelby, Stabenow, Tester, Vitter, Wicker, Wyden)
Ahh yes, they were referring to the bankruptcy bill. Thanks for the correction.
