Someone was looking for that list of 40 or so Dems

[boston bean]

who are willing to go along with the repugs in order to let the rich keep their tax cuts?

Here you go. They almost helped the Republicans hold the house over until a vote was forced on the issue. It was 209-210.

Boehner surprise: Dems barely get votes to adjourn after floor speech


....."Vote no on this adjournment resolution. Give Congress a chance to vote on extending tax rates," Boehner said.

Boehner's floor speech turned the vote on adjournment into a referendum on the tax cuts, which has divided Democrats for months. President Obama wants to extend tax cuts for families making less than $250,000, while allowing taxes to rise on income above that threshold. Many centrist Democrats have joined Republicans in arguing for extending all of the tax cuts. ........

Here's the full list of Democrats who voted against adjournment:

Rep. John Adler (N.J.)

Rep. Jason Altmire (Pa.)

Rep. Michael Arcuri (N.Y.)

Rep. Melissa Bean (Ill.)

1. Kratovil is not not not a true Democrat

he votes with the republicans all the time. He comes from a highly republican district. And the only reason he ran as a Democrat is he couldn't unseat the republican in the primary.

2. this certainly doesn't bode well for a expiration of those cuts for the wealthy does it? nt
