Unpatriot Act - House Roll Call

Good God, these idiots called the bill "Small Business Additional Temporary Extension Act of 2011".

What the F&*@K does State surveillance and an indefinite suspension of private property rights have ANYTHING to do with small businesses?

Our government never fails to amaze me.

In other news, I noticed Allen West voted against this bill. That's VERY surprising. I'm not fully convinced he's actually against this bill. Maybe he voted against it because he knew it would pass...? That way, when he runs for President in 2016 (or run for VP this year) they can't get him for being anti-gun rights.

Politics really sucks. I really don't even know why I follow this shitfest in DC.

Interesting: House Dems 122-54 "Nay." Going against Obama and the Senate? Anybody have any explanations here?

I think merging bills should be illegal somehow.

Flake has a Senate election to win, so that may explain his lack of voting. Chaffetz voted against it. Hopefully he displaces Orrin Hatch next year.

I notice Flake ends up not voting on some very important bills.

[cindy25]

any chance of replacing IRS agent Bachmann as head of Tea Party conference?

[Zatch]

edit nvm

Pelosi steps forward as a champion of the constitution.


In other news: Nobody here is commenting on why House democrats overwhelmingly voted nay.

maybe because of Pelosi, maybe they fear primaries, and their votes weren't needed anyway.
Bachmann must think its still popular in the GOP base for her to skip a fundraiser to vote for it.

Well his name ain't "Jeff Reliable"
:D

Sullivan is another one who'd rather not do his job at all than do it right.

yes, they sometimes do...

not always are they hacks

[reduen]

No they don't, this is all for show... If they have enough votes to pass it, they will let some of their members vote opposite for publicity sake. Believe me, I know this is true. It happens all the time at both the Federal and State level...

[Kylie]

Thanks! I'm actually pleasantly surprised that my Congressman voted no.

I surely didn't think that would happen.

Wow! Thanks for that. +1 for the Confederacy. Very interesting.

Pelosi voted nay? That's a shocker! Then again maybe not. The republicans have control of the house so maybe the dems feel more comfortable voting nay as they can gain brownie points with the voters without damaging the NWO? It's odd to see Pelosi and Reid vote against each other.

I say it's because the overwhelming majority of actual liberal voters oppose this. Many voted for Obama specifically because they thought he would oppose this. And a lot of Democrats are realizing that sucking up to their constituents will be more important than sucking up to Obama come 2012. This is all very good news for us.
