This was H.R. 1105, the earmark laden "Omnibust Appropriations Act, 2009"
Disappointing to see so many Republicans voting for it. And I'm not sure if the Dems against it were moderates, wanting less spending, or ultra-libs who thought this wasn't enough.
Who were the 16? They get nasty notes.
Walt Minnick(D) from Idaho voting with the GOP again. I’m starting to actually like this guy. Real tell will be when a gun bill comes up for a vote.
My congresscritter, Capito (R. WV), the ONLY Rep. in my state’s DC delegation, voted for this POS.
POLITICIAN......a four letter word spelled with ten letters!
16 Republicans?
Boy, the glory days of two weeks ago didn’t last long.

They have just killed school vouchers in DC, ensuring that no poor kid in DC gets the same quality education as Obama’s kids.
And the RNC is sending me emails, looking for donations. Why donate, so they can help RINOs get re-elected?
I see Republican Cao from NOLA is doing the bidding of his 90% minority constituency. He’ll be a reliable RINO vote for the ‘Rats in the future.
Sonny Bono continues spinning in the grave as his widow continues to solidify her RINO credentials.
Not only will I not donate, but I demanded a refund of my money to McCain since he refused to mention Rev. Wright.
I’m not playing ball with this loser party.
My critter, Tim Murphy (R), PA, did as well. He’s going to get a call from me tomorrow.
Sent this to my congresscritter
Congresswoman Capito,
Re. Omnibus Spending Bill
I would like to thank you for showing me the error of my ways with your vote on the Omnibus Spending Bill. I truly believed that there were some in DC who actually had the good of this nation at heart. I thought that you were one. I was mistaken. Your vote has proven to me that POLITICIAN is just a four letter word spelled with ten letters.
Ping to #14
“Rule provides for consideration of H.R. 1105 with 1 hour of general debate. Previous question shall be considered as ordered without intervening motions except motion to recommit with or without instructions. Measure will be considered read. Bill is closed to amendments. All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI.”
One hour of debate for a hundreds of billions of earmarks and pork in a bill no one has had time to read.
Egad - what is has this country come to...
Good letter.
I actually want to talk to someone in his local office. I’ve called there before, and had a nice chat with one of his chief aides. I want to try to find out what the heck he was thinking with this vote.
I demanded a refund when he reached across the aisle to 'The One' and didn't slap him silly, of course he ignored me. LOL
Barton came through again.
I won’t need to send him a letter but if I was to, I would have copied yours.
Nice.
