Looks like adding sixty-some members of the Republican Party to the House didn’t matter much, after all...

"233 members voted yes and 193 cast nay votes. But the House required a supermajority to approve this particular package. In this case, it would have needed 285 yea votes to pass."

The Stupid Party (aka the Republican Party) fails to come through for its supporters and the nation again. They had enough votes to rescind the awful legislation but could not because of the Pelosi imposed, ridiculous "2/3 rule" from the last Congress. The Speaker must think he's working in the Senate or something. This is just another nail in GOP's coffin. I'm waiting anxiously for a genuine conservative third party to arrive on the scene. Goodbye GOP.
