In fact, it turns out that approximately forty percent of Democrats voted against the bill.



I see the Dems are still playing politics in the face of economic disaster.


In fact, more Democrats (95) voted against the bill than Republicans (65).


to clarify, it's "more dems voted against the bill than reps (voted for the bill)"

democrats
140 for the bill
95 against

republicans:
65 for the bill
130 against

still, its silly to blame republicans for voting against when so many dems agreed with them. democrats could have passed the bill themselves if they thought it was worthy. but, obviously, most in the room didn't as shown with over half of the total votes going against.

rework it. make a new one. try again.


From what I gather it was 13 republicans who said they would vote for it changing their mind when it was time to vote. I'm curious why they would yank their support like that.

Fair play!
