Swatted down by reality. It had to happen sooner or later.

Congress critters are gutless. In this case it will work for the people instead of against them. You have to love it but they couldn’t stand the family dealerships being closed!

It’s nice to hear a trickle of good news at least once in a great while out of the District of Corruption.

Where is the class action suit by the dealers associations against the White-Crib-Engineered bankruptcy plan which obliterated states’ franchise laws?

It seems Obama's star power is fading rapidly.Is it really star power fading? Or is it the bouquet of his flatulence is getting more rank?

The dems did a good deed this week. Let's hope it starts a trend.Screw hope. Let's keep holding their feet to the fire.

I take it the vote count given was on final passage.
I am guessing that the Republicans were all in favor of this Amendment, but against the final bill.
That is just how it works.

My question too. Looks like the Dems want to get re elected and the Pubs. don’t.

where were the republicans? They were voting against an outrageous appropriations bill. You want them to be on the side of blowing your money?

where were the republicansThey were probably voting against the bill for other reasons. However, a republican authored the amendment, and the democrats did vote for it, so even they are skittish about closing so many dealerships.
To: blueyon
I am afraid the rest of the bill was a bit repugnant. However, it is a sign that there may be something greater than a stunted brain stem in the house.

The Dems obviously liked the entire bill, whereas the Pubbies didn’t.
Just because LaTourette got something good added doesn’t mean the bill is good as a whole. He still did good, because everyone knew the bill would pass anyway.

I don't disagree with this particular decision. But, if it were left to Congress, the conestoga makers (and their dealers) would still be in business.

So, in plain talk, all these dealerships which were shut down by Czar Obama are going to remain open?
Take that, Zero.
