Nobel Prize goes to Obama...

Wednesday, January 30, 2008
The House overwhelmingly approved a $146 billion shot in the arm for the nation's ailing economy yesterday, sending a stimulus package to the Senate with a bipartisan appeal not to slow down the bill with significant changes.....




The 385 to 35 vote marked a rare moment of bipartisan comity in the House, as Democrats and Republicans took to the floor to praise the cooperation shown by their leaders and the Bush administration in forging a package of tax rebates and business investment incentives....

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong about everything? When you make a claim in a post in future how about checking first to see whether it has any basis in reality first?

So in the end Republicans 36 voted no or didn't vote while only 18 Democrats voted no or didn't vote....the numbers back up my story as MORE Republicans were against the bill than Democrats.

Thanks for backing me up Killersheep

It's a serious question. Do you never get tired of being wrong? Wouldn't you like to be right just once about something to break the monotony?

86.69% of republicans voting for it could be considered "a whole bunch"

Granted after you applied a revision to state more Democrats voted for it, you are correct. Clearly the left with standing at 93.57% voted for it.

Of course with a spread of 280 members being democrat and 248 being republican along with 2 independents which I will leave out for arguments sake. To say that it was not a bipartisan vote is absolutely ridiculous.
At a total 90.31% of congress voting for it, with 46.79% of congress being Republican, you have no stats, reasons, youtube videos etc. that can support your initial claim.

If someone got stabbed 36 times, would you say they got stabbed "a whole bunch" of times?

See "whole bunch" is vague and therefore OK termanology for me to use in this situation.

So does that mean you didn't have a point to begin with? Or is 36 now a bigger number than 212? Or does 87% or 212 congressional members of a party somehow NOT reflect a whole bunch, would you rather I amend the statement now to say Overwhelming majority?

Or would you rather talk about semantics or knife fights instead of your point.
