'Limbaugh's Legions' in the House voted NO on H.R. 1. Now they and he 'hope it fails.'

[flpoljunkie]

Not one Republican voted for the bill. The final vote on H. R. 1 was 246 Democrats voted YES; 183 Republicans voted NO. One Democrat voted 'present.'

1. GOP Leader Boehner says....

"This legislation falls woefully short," said House GOP Leader John Boehner of Ohio. "With a price tag of more than $1 trillion when you factor in interest, it costs every family almost $10,000 in added debt. "This is an act of generational theft that our children and grandchildren will be paying for far into the future."

And the GOP is not party to any added cost to the deficit since it's inception. Right BONER, your party's whole regime of deregulation of the free market and lowering taxes, starting two wars and voting against the masses to help your rich conservative friends, excuses you from being complicit in anything to do with the current deficit and economic crisis our nation faces now.

When will be free from the tyranny of the rich and corrupt? Gawd, I am so ready to fight!!

2. Hello GMF and welcome to DU

There has been an incredible case of selective amnesia amongst those with the conservative value gene. george bush never existed and nothing happened the last eight years.

BUT, its just the way the gop operates, never, ever take responsibility for anything.

6. Putting on sunglasses....

Boner takes the small silvery cylindrical device from inside his left coat pocket and holds it up, pointed at the masses....

Thanks for the welcome BOSSHOG, it is a relief to be able to express and share my concerns with the DU community. Feels like home.

13. It sometimes gets rough in here

but I find it a great place to chat. I've crossed swords on occasion but I haven't been banned. Yet!

3. Yes. R's have now found fiscal religion--particularly when it comes to helping the bottom 99%!

Welcome to DU!

9. That means only Repugs can enact "generational theft"

They can keep the record for that self-indulgence and rich-indulgence!

So far, they do ...

17. As I've often said,

To them, it's only bad when Democrats do it.

11. This act will generate wealth... unlike a certain act of war that will cost us more than $3 trillion

(ongoing Iraq war)

4. Just a small note. Pukes were 176 and 7 Dem's voted no as well for 183 total no votes.

[flpoljunkie]

DeFazio was very pissed speaking on the floor about the money taken out for education; perhaps why he voted No. The other Dems come from very conservative districts and states---Shuler, Griffith, Taylor, Peterson, Bright, Minnich.

[Parker CA]

16. Yes, all 176 of them voted no. The additional 7 Dem's created the 183 total "no" votes.

[spinbaby]

7. Who was the "present" vote?

Enquiring minds want to know.

[flpoljunkie]

10. Rep. Daniel Lipinski, D-IL. Roll call vote link below.

12. Once again, the GOP broke it, they

won't fix it

For jobs and economic recovery this time: 246 Democrats, ZERO Republicans

[AtomicKitten]

14. Hey, this is Obstructionism Redux.

Not a single Republican voted for Clinton's budget in 1993 and they have merely recycled their dire warnings of impending disaster. The only problem with this repeat performance is this time the disaster isn't pending, we are soaking in it thanks to Junior's reign of greed and incompetence.

15. Their freakin' lifeboat won't hold 183 rats.

Some will go under and not come back up.

18. They are scared of Rush
