2. Disgusting how the Republicans are voting against this. Why does any working person

vote for the GOP?

4. Because those "tax cuts" benefit those working RRRepublicans. Or so they are led (and all too easily

to believe.

[Selatius]

6. Because they wrap themselves in the flag and carry a cross. And people are suckers for it.

They could give two shits about worker rights, yet many people vote for these rich cocksuckers who don't give a damn about them. One day, they will know why things are getting worse for them. They will realize when it's already too late.

3. It amazes me how any working Republican, union or not, could vote

Repuke. They show absolutely no regard whatsoever for the working man. Glad to see Lieberman voted Yes.

9. All Democrats and Independents voted yes, all Republicans except Specter voted no

Senator Tim Johnson (who is recovering from a stroke) was the only Senator not voting.

10. Mccain found this vote important enough that he voted to block it, but he does not feel concerned by

the Iraq policy?
