Passes 219-212, 8 Repuiblicans for it could have killed it. 3 not voting.
I am interested in which ones turned—because by the end of the day, their offices were indicating they were voting NO....I will actively work to unseat them.
Those of us in crazy liberal states like CA should focus on sending money to whoever runs against the dopes who voted for this.
Good God help us.
He took an Evelyn Wood Speed Reading course and, little known fact, works as an auctioneer at a car dealer’s auction on weekends.
That's why they timed this vote.
Word is the bill won’t get through Senate. At the least, those who voted for this assault on America need to be revealed for all to see. Shine the light on them. Do not let them win their re-election!
I will be calling all the Rino’s also. They need to go. We are fed up with them & need to voice our dislike for their votes.

I won’t give a cent to the GOP until I see leadership. Brother John (R) Ohio would have come closer if he read the amendment line, by line.
Yeah, that was the last I read too. Boehner was supposed to be reading all 300+ pages of the 3 A.M. amendment into the record. That couldn’t possibly have been completed in time for this vote to take place. How did this happen?
No one cares. It’s all MJ, all the time....The Chinese could land in California and announce they were taking over, and no one would bat an eye-lash...
Let them eat cake, say it b*&%#
Here are the names of the traitors!!!!

I agree. Recall all these traitors.
He said he was going to read the 300 page amendment...but, he didn’t. Just hit on some specific points. Too bad.
Eight is enough!
