You need to relax and quit jumping to conclusions. There is a pattern developing here of one or two GOP voting to move something from the Committee to the floor on almost everything. Floor discussion and votes are completely open to public view on CSPAN II. Committee hearings are up and down and waste of time when the other side has the votes so two Republicans vote to take it to the floor so everyone can view the statements about the bill.
Girl in the office was right — they want it on the full floor of the Senate and out of Committee so the whole Country can see the Dems railroading it through. Both will vote against it on the floor.
Some Republicans have figured out how to play the game early in this session.
I wish I had your faith...but I watched Olympia Snowe vote against every tax ammendment the repuplicans offered the other day in a committee when there was no reason to do so.
That women and a few other republican senators will vote for Obama. They have stuck their fingers in the eyes on conservatives many times before. Why should we show any faith in them now?
