Portman voted to continue funding????

I notice that BOTH CINOs from Texas voted against. Losers. Thank God KBH is out in January.

What’s with all the cowardly “no votes”?

Wow! Glad to see Alabama’s Richard Shelby voted to cut aid. Usually he’s a RINO. But then I see Jeff Sessions vote Nay. Makes no sense...

UNLESS...

Knowing that Shelby will have an election in 2016, this may be to give him cover for that time in a very Christian conservative state.

But Sessions is up first in 2014.

I don’t know what to think. I suppose the various senators knew the vote would fail, so all the Yea votes were just so much political posturing.
