Centuries ago, the Catholic Church saw a "slight" to their Pope, and refused to recognize that the
Earth revolved around the Sun, not the other way around ...

Repukes saying that they voted against the bill because "Nancy Pelosi made a speech" sounds like the same hissy fit ...

Why not tell the truth about how they didn't want to vote for the bill? Because they are cowards!

5. They knew what they would have to give up.
All the deregulation gains and no government oversight. These corporations were just writing their own laws. They should take their free market lumps.
