WTF? 3 Repubs voted no?
Edited on Thu May-24-07 08:55 PM by ih8thegop
Burr, Coburn, and Enzi.

I'm not gonna bash them for voting the right way once in their career.

I just wanna know what these three know that a majority of Senate Dems don't.

5. Nope--don't misread their votes. It was a vote against the "pork" and min. wage.

4. Enzi opposed the spending on other items

He said as much in his rambling speech before the vote this evening.

Essentially, the Dems didn't bend over far enough for his liking.

As for the others, I have no idea on Burr, and Coburn is batshit crazy. I'm sure he had some batshit crazy reason.
