There are only 47 Republicans, so I think the LA Times may be pushing a lie.

One Republican, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, joined Democrats in voting to advance the measure. One Democrat, Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, voted against.

That's not the only lie in the article because according to that recent Gallup survey, Republicans opposed the 'Buffett Rule' 54% to 43%! Those are the voters that voted them in, so it would have been much more risky to vote against them, which is not what the article implied.

No the ARE pushing a lie. If the dems wanted it they could have had it, but their OWN party members voted to kill it.... cause the Republicans are NOT the MAJORITY.

What lie? With exception of Snowe the Republicans pulled together and were responsible for defeating the bill. The vote was close though so we have our work cut out for us.

Bingo!

First thing that occurred to me, as well.
There aren’t 51 Republicans in the Senate.

The left is using this to advance the meme that Republicans favor the rich.

The truth is going to be harder and harder to discern for John and Jane Q. Public this election. The alphabet media has left behind any pretense of objectivity.

Any story that damages Obama and Co. you will have to search for if available at all.

Any story that can be used to hit republicans will be above the fold and all day lead-in news teasers.

Obama and his “Democratic” bandit Regime knowingly violate the U.S.Constitution by originating a spending/tax bill in the Senate. All $$$$ bills are mandated to originate in the Congress.

Typical of the “Democratic” (aka the Socialist Fascist Party) Party to care nothing for legal process. Small wonder the “Democratic” Party has always loved leftist tyrants. A tyranny is their wet dream.
