5. No, Franks voted Present. He has a conflict of interest
He's been reprimanded in the past in a similar way and doesn't believe in the practice.

4. It passed with 5 Pubs joining the Dems & voting for it and
12 Dems voted against it. There were also several members 15 I think, voted present.

6. Clyburn was very eloquent
and dignified, and said that it was a matter of respect and decorum. Then a bunch of Repubs spoke: Boner, Cantor, a few forgettable and predictable others, tried to take the debate away from his behavior, to their health care talking points, and what a good ol' boy Wilson is. The GOP told them all to mention his 4 sons who served in the military, which they all obeyed. Then they voted and it passed.

7. It's in the books they disapprove ,PoP Whoopee!! Total Bullshit.
Pelosi isn't a Quintessential example of a strong woman I never thought that until she became head of the house,she wants to let them slide on everything.And Guaranteed Ted Kennedy would of lead a lot more of a charge against this Racist ,than Most of the Dem's did today.

9. And Ted would have added clarity because this entire resolution thing was
FUBAR in my mind.

11. When you figure that 80 million Americans either can't read or comprehend
what they're reading, then how can they understand the implications of racism?
