At nearly midnight on Friday, 13 House Republicans gave Speaker Nancy Pelosi the votes she needed to pass the so-called “bipartisan infrastructure bill” — colloquially known in DC as the BIF. In doing so, these House Republicans, among them two members of the House GOP leadership team, all but guaranteed House passage of Joe Biden’s hotly partisan, $2 trillion reconciliation bill, which represents the largest cradle-to-grave expansion of federal power since the New Deal.
Over at National Review, Philip Klein called the move by these 13 Republicans “political malpractice,” and a “betrayal.” He’s right, particularly on the first point.

Democrats are always thinking long-term and once these programs get cemented, any Republican that calls for its repeal will be attacked mercilessly. And the cost of these programs are going to be way higher than $1.75T under BBB.
Headline says 31 Republicans voted for Pelosi. the news story says 13 did. And all the other reports are 13 pro-Pelosi Repubs. Where did the additional 18 Repubs come from?
Does anyone know what these RINOs were thinking?
Avoid having Dems frown at them at ritzy cocktail parties in mansions?
Gain Marxist business/government “partnership” brownie points for use in fundraising and money laundering later? Oops, did I reveal the Turtle and Mitt’s secrets? Sorry. /s
It’s a typographical error nothing more.
“Headline says 31 Republicans voted for Pelosi. the news story says 13 did. And all the other reports are 13 pro-Pelosi Repubs. Where did the additional 18 Repubs come from?”
Typos, poor editing, and/or dislexia.
They must be CNN Cent Yukghur Rinos, voting for openly communist gangs like AOC.
31 or 13...what difference does it make?
31?
From the end of the article...
Regardless, the infrastructure bill now goes to the president’s desk. Eighteen Republican senators helped pass it in August, and so did 13 House Republicans (for a total of 31), knowing full well they were also voting on the amnesty-filled, abortion-funding, financially-snooping, cheap-labor loving reconciliation bill, gave it the required boost. Betrayal, as Klein noted, is not too strong a term.
maybe from the senate? They had to pass the bill as well.
Thanks.
The GOPe US Senators who passed it in the Senate.
It is all coming from Nancy who forwards the $$$$$ to the ones who sell themselves to her.
I wondered why they don't just change parties... but if they did it that way, no one would PAY them for their ‘support’.
Soros has money to burn so he doesn't care if they are all in, all the time ... or if they are prostitutes being paid for doing ‘piecework’ .
“Prostitution is the best business going. You have it... you sell it... you STILL HAVE IT!!!”
I don’t care why they did it. I just want the list published in boldface type here day after day.
And elsewhere.
An anazing math coincidence (31-13=18). Well, not that amazing.
The Senate
Good answers.
They have said for years there is little in the way of distinguishing characteristics between politics and prostitution.
Noir style suspense novelist the late Elmore Leonard had a criminal say “Women spend a few wasted years before they figure out they are sitting on a fortune.”
RINOs have figured that out, apparently.
The extra 18 votes came from a suitcase in the back of a van.
The 18 Republicans in the Senate.
Tally so far: 10 comments about the typo, 9 comments about the article.
