Real Republicans would rather insure tax cuts for the wealthy than eliminate child poverty, help veterans with mental health problems, ask oil companies to pay a wind-fall profits tax and provide help for farmers and small business people in paying their energy bills.

This is why I'm a Democrat. This is why I'm paying attention to who voted for this horrible bill and who didn't. It matters.
