You don’t fault them? Really? Probably the biggest vote of their careers?
Oh Hildy really? You are an awesome FREEPER, but you are exaggerating big time. I can name the TARP money fiasco as even worse that this vote. And there are many others that have been passed over the years.
So the margin would have been closer by two votes, and still would have passed. Unless they could somehow convinced the 8 to stay the course.
Even with their two votes we still would have lost.
I’ve heard several commentators say today that it won’t pass the Senate...so maybe that explains it?
No kidding! If they can’t make the commitment when it is this important then they shouldn’t be in office.
