Senate passes Stimulus bill "with scant Republican support": vote 61-37
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 06:37 PM by JohnWxy
No Republicans voted for the stimulus plan in the House and only 3 said they would vote for the Senate bill. Clearly, the Republicans are out to sabotage Obama's presidency and they don't care what it costs the country.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THESE REPUBLICANS... was Obams too quick to close Guantanamo?

4. Votes were counted by Diebold....
They always weight the vote more heavily toward Republicans.
