The Buffett Rule Bill Dies

As usual, I have to post the votes;

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&session=2&vote=00065#position

"democratic" Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas voted no.  Probably not a good move come November. His explanation for it is a joke (read the link)..  We aren't that stupid Mark.  You have your hands in up to the elbows with people (like yourself) who don't want a "fair" tax.  In the eyes of God, that is greed. A deadly sin.  You have a hot future to look forward to.

You hould see the Compound he lives in.  His "Congressional Staff cost almost $1.4 Million in 2009 (easy to find the data).  What the hell?

Of notable mention for not even voting, Akaka of Hawaii, Hatch of Utah, Kirk of Illinois, and LIEberman formerly of Connecticut (and my favorite spineless Senatorial Deuchbag). You won't be missed Joe.

Democrats To Repeal The Affordable Health Care Act

Mike McIntyre
I can't figure out why he voted to repeal the health care law, he seems much more interested in steering Federal tax dollars to his district.  Yeah, scroll down those press releases, they just keep getting better.

Dan Boren
To quote Dan:  "I support common-sense health care reforms such as preventing insurance companies from denying individuals with pre-existing conditions, allowing children to stay on their parents insurance until they are 26, and making it illegal to drop someone because they are sick. "

Um, Dan.  You just voted to repeal all of those things.  If there were other things you want changed in the Law, you have the power to introduce legislation to do that.

Creepy Mike Ross
Mike actually has a good timeline of the changes resulting from the Affordable Health Care Act, but doesn't really point out what he specifically dislikes/likes.  He mentions "concerns" and "beliefs", but no details.  That might be nice to know.  Mike, maybe if you spelled all this out for your constituents, they would actually get it?  Or maybe you don't really support your President?
