May I suggest adopting the .22 round as an emblem?
Any word on which of those voted in favor, first, and then changed their votes to “nays” after discovering the bill would pass without their “yeas”?
.
The vote count stood at 216 Yea - 16 No - with 8 Republican votes left.
Then it jumped to 218 Yea - 16 No - with 6 R votes remaining.
After a time, one more No vote was cast.
After another time, another No vote was cast. The count for the Republicans was now 218 Yea - 18 No - 4 still not voting.
Immediately after the sound of the gavel, the vote count on the screen jumped to 218 Yea - 22 No.
This means that of the 22, 6 did not cast their NO votes until AFTER the bill had already been passed. They took their marching orders from Boner and waited for him to release them to cast their “heroic”(/s) votes!
Now, WHO were those six potential sell-outs? Reports are contradictory and unless one of the 22 decides to spill the beans, I doubt we will ever know. IMO, if NONE of the 22 will own up to who the six were, they are ALL complicit in this deception.
Folks, these are politicians. Politicians lie, cheat, steal, obfuscate and deceive. It is their nature...it is what they do.
