Reply #6: They should have voted [View All]

They were wrong not to.

But they were also right to try the fillibuster vote because there were alot of Reps that didn't like that bill because it's so expensive or because it doesn't privatize quick enough. And a fillibuster gets media attention whereas a vote doesn't. The logging bill got voted on Friday, I believe, nothing in the media. Lots of people just lost their overtime, next to nothing in the media. But people do know about this Medicare bill because of the fillibuster vote. It brought more attention to it, so I think that's a good thing.
