Hey there - yep, it's accurate as I remember it at the time. As a serious fiscal hawk I remember feeling very proud that my representative (I'm from St Charles county) stood up to DeLay and Blunt's goons ramming this through and voted his conscience. One of many reasons why I so vociferously defend Akin today.
I haven't donated to either the local or national GOP since Boosh's reelection in 2004. I instead prefer to donate to individual campaigns that mirror my fiscal and foreign policy hawkishness! It's the one thing that helps me feel at least somewhat empowered within the current system - the national GOP sure doesn't represent anything I stand for any longer.

Since you have given me the green light. I am posting this on some facebook sites. I read it like it was an edge of your seat thriller. Akin was impressive with his courage to fight for his beliefs and for his constituents. I am so impressed. This is the type of candidate I have been fighting hard to win elections not to be booted by the good ole goons in the republican party.
Won't it be such a sweet victory if Akin wins?
