Saw this on Malkin’s website. I don’t fault either of them. It was the eight knucklehead rinos that are at fault. I simply don’t understand why they shoot themselves in the foot, especially when rats are going with the rest of the republicans. Jeez.
They need to hear the riot act from their constituentns, but good!
Damn ‘our side’(I’m not a member of either party) just dropped the ball on this big time. If nothing else, the republicans that voted FOR this garbage provided political cover so several of those dems that voted against it could do so while the legislation still passed. If those republicans would have voted against it, an equal amount of dems would have been forced to vote for it, causing them trouble back home. Also, if the vote count would have been looking like that before the actual vote, it would have given those dems more bargaining power, and could have caused the legislation to be more watered down to meet their liking.
Those so called republicans really betrayed the entire country today. What boggles the mind is how could these republicans hold firm and oppose the porkulus bill, and support THIS?? This bill is FAR worse for our country than porkulus was. ....It’s irrational!

Behind the scenes horse trading and wheeling and dealing. These abstentions were part and parcel of managing the appearance of a close vote, while providing cover for the vulnerable.
Smoke and mirrors, in other words. The chummy little club protects it’s own, but will get it’s predetermined outcome eventually.
Watch the earmarks down the road for further indication of this dealmaking. Yes votes and abstentions will be compensated for risking voter wrath, unlikely as that might be in IL or NJ.
The time is comming ever closer. We are witnessing the destruction of our great republic. We can either sit on the bench and watch in horror, or we can rise up and stop it.
Keep your powder dry ladies and gents, we may need it very soon.
Sorry, but this was a lot more important than Flake’s daughters beauty contest... if she has no country it won’t matter if she won or lost today or her father was there or not... he is being paid to show up and place these important votes.
Were they "paired" against? I.e., did they take leave, but after assuring that two Dems would also be absent who would otherwise attend, who favored the measure?
Of course, for that to work, they had to be willing to show up if they couldn't pair or the Dems wouldn't agree to pair.
Incredible...
I cannot find the lone Republican from Maryland on the list of voters either. Very disappointing! He is elderly, hope he is not ill. There are already windmill farms in his district (western Maryland) so it is possible that he faced an ethical dilemma. I want to know why Maryland didn’t get its only NO vote?????
Oh, no. So now the difference between Democrats and Republicans is that the Democrats pull their people out of rehab for an important vote and the Republicans don’t? We are doomed.
As for the guys in rehab, you go to rehab, you resign plain and simple, allow the people representation.
Flake’s daughter could be Arizona’s Junior Miss and is in the national pageant this week. It has many events for the families and I don’t blame him for being there. Nothing could have kept me from being there for my daughter.
Jeff Flake’s (appropriately) constituents are plenty pissed. He failed to do his job. No excuses!
