Hardly.

Ford did vote against it. There are 435 reps in the House. Half of that number is 218. It is clear that these votes are based on party affiliation. Once it was certain that the Republicans would have their 218 representatives hold, it was then that it became a vote based on political considerations, and each rep's evaluation regarding what would be POLITICALLY best in his/her district.

Therefore, we have a number of republicans and democrats who voted "their district" rather than their party.

In their case, it is better to look up their comments and their early votes, than it is to look at that final vote.

If you think this lie will fool the voters, then it's you who's the fool.
