Well, I do entertain the slight and probably forlorn hope that at least some of the Republicans and Democrats who voted NO! did so as a matter of their constitutional duty to do what was in the best interests of the nation.

Nope.. Only reason I see why they voted "no" was because they were sacred that if this bill passed and they voted for it, then they would be out of a job in November.

I would like to see a chart or something showing how many of those that voted NO are up for re-election this year.

Also, this applies more to Republicans since the country pretty much expect Democtrats to want a big government.
