Just a guess, but Reid probably voted no as a parliamentary procedure. I believe Senate rules allow Senators who voted no to ask for revotes much easier than those who voted yes on a bill. McConnell and Lott would sometimes do that when the GOP had the majority.
You mean the one Vice President-elect Biden opposed?
Jeff Daniels has been pimping Michigan on AM radio for two years now, without realizing that nobody wants to shell out millions of dollars for a romp with a Detroit crack whore.
I’m sure this is very un-PC, but when the news stories were showing various auto workers at their jobs, most of it seemed like semi-skilled work at best. I can’t believe they are paid as much as they are to snap parts onto things, etc. I thought a robot could do most of it.
Why doesn’t MI use its taxdollars to give them loans? Oh yeah, cause your state also miss-manages its money.
Hey lady (nice form), you are slapping the other 100 million plus taxpayers in the face demanding that we pay for the mistakes made in your state. Grow up.
Its OK, here in the northeast, the “carpeters union” includes guys who hang sheet rock and do cleaning, NOT carpentry.
He voted no so he could re-introduce it. If he voted yes, he couldn’t reintroduce if it failed.
That pig Granholm should go back to Canada rather than bring her Canadian socialism here.
No Jennifer, it’s not 3 million families. Its 300 000 workers
And they won’t be out of work, only working for a bit less
FYi, the 3 mil figure includes everyone who lives in the area who has any contact with any person who works for any company related to the auto industry...including the 7-Eleven on every corner and their families.
Lyin bitch...you disgust me.
Not to mention the 8 dems who could have supported it
50c tops. He’s probably better off cutting ads for Maine given what he did for their Joshua Chamberlain.
Hey Granholm... check the vote... what about the Democrats who also did not support the bailout??? Single out the Republicans all you want... they were not alone.
I suppose that I wouldn’t mind so much if maybe I could get a free 30k car for my trouble?
What do you think the possibilities of that are?
The Majority leader always votes no when he's going to lose so he can bring it back up for a vote later. Frist used to do this all the time when he fell short of breaking Dem filibusters. The other 7 Dems should have been called out by that shrill woman though. They had enough votes with the additional 10 Republicans. They just wanted more cover. Chickenshiite bustards. Politics before their principles.
Capitalists were fat and proud and now it's time for the unwashed masses to stand up and take control of whatever is left of the carcass. 100% of crap = USSR. The left loves "CHANGE" until it smacks them in the face.
According to your table, the bailout passed, 52-35. So why is Jenny so pissed off at the Republican senators? I must be missing something here.
Granholm has had what? six years to fix michigan? she’s done nothing but flush it down the toilet and now she’s going to blame a few republicans in the federal government for this states woes? Give me a break!
