“The roll call shows that the 219 is 215 dems and 4 pubs. “ where were the republicans?

Voting against the bill itself -- which was a Treasury appropriations bill that wasted gazillions.

The dealer provision was an amendment to the bill which was sponsored by a Republican (Steve LaTourette -- R/OH) and doubtless had the support of virtually every Republican.

Consider it a diamond of an amendment, inside a turd of a bill.

My mind is still foggy from all the beers I drank at the BBQ... but I understand you said something important but I can't understand it... can you clarify that for the slightly tipsy Freepers?
