3. It does not matter -this 2 vote margin is standard GOP operating procedure
Doesn't matter - the 14 GOP votes on our side were not real - and would have been lowered to 12 if the 2 Dems had voted.

This "release" of " pretend moderate" GOP votes after the margin is known is getting old

5. Actually, I believe you're right. I've seen this happen way too often.
That's why the time expires way before they stop counting the damn votes! I even remember when some votes were switched at the last minute.

4. So where are Boswell and Towns from?
I watched the vote, and I'm just not familiar enough with every Rep to know who these two are.

7. Des Moines IA
Our sole Dem congressperson and that also sucks! We need to replace him anyway because of his vote on the bankruptcy bill.
