DC Vouchers Passed by 1 vote..30 minutes ago |
|
Man that Tom delay and Roy Blunt. They rushed DC Vouchers to the floor during the debate knowing Kucinich, Gephardt (I know doesn't vote much but he did actually make the original vote on this bill), and several members of the Black Caucus were at the debate and it passed by 1 vote. Cummings, Rangel, Ford and others of the CBC missed it also. I guess thats what you do when you're in the majority? No wonder so many normal folks hate politics.
People should be pissed. I am.
