Admin, Why do you only post the Senate ranks? Why not the House ones? They do about match the Senate in those periods, but the House must start all fiscal bills so they must be passed there beforehand.


Also, I dont put much stock in voting records unless I actually read the bill, and I must admit, I dont understand alot of what a bill is saying. So many bills are loaded down with random earmarks that have nothing to do with original purpose of the bill that voting 'NO' on an otherwise good bill is sometimes necessary.

it doesn't matter which ones i posted b/c obviously the fact that reps were majority doesn't seem to matter when it comes to making policy

i agree w/ you it is issue of 2 partys not working together.
