That list is going to come in very handy in '08?
You've cast your dice Republican rubber-stampers, and now you will experience the consequences.

Earlier this summer ... three times in 1 week, the Democrats brought before floor a resolution to begin a systematic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
In each case that resolution was promtply shot down because the Dems simply did not have enough votes. Care to venture a guess as to which political party failed to support even a "hint" of an organized withdrawal?
I assure you ... I will develop a detailed list of voting that particular week and we will see why the Democrats couldn't secure the proper majority vote. Also I will develop a lists of the Republican non-support for the SCHIP program.
Watch for both lists, you may see a lot of them during the next several months

I know that my Congressman votes against the measure. I have just wrote a check to his campaign fund. His district is safe because people like me.
Also, the bill was flaw. Why should I pay $15 tax on one cigar to pay for it? This is wrong. I do not smoke in front of kids. Therefore, why should I pay?
When you complete your list, I shall forwardx copies to a couple of fund raisers for the Republicans to assist in their reelection.

You first need to learn that the ceiling was so high for this bill that it would have been impossible to pay for. Health care for poor children is already readily available. Congratulations, you have fallen into the exact trap the Dems. in Congress wanted you to fall into.

No, I only know which ones refused to go along with a six fold increase in the funding over the large increase that was suggested by the administration. Sorry, I wish I knew.

I am a Democrat.
I have been working to elect Democrats for over 45 years.
George Bush has blown it big time with his mismanagement of the war on terror.
I can tell you from experience, if we get sidetracked with the health care issue, it will not help us. It will interfere with our ability to get Americans to focus on the strongest issue that we have and that is the Republicans claim to be the sole party that can protect America from terrorists and they have blown it,

how's that promise to get the troops home, now that youve been in control of congress for over a year. Those empty words will come in handy too when '08 comes around too.

The votes of your representatives would be published in your local newspaper. You can also look up the congressional record to find out who voted and how.

There can be no such list. No one refused to support health care for poor children. Yours is a bold faced lie. You will not, with vicious lies, influence anyone's vote.

Haha the house (democratic) just failed to overturn the veto. So the rebuplicans are not the only ones who are indecisive.
