Richie, if you simply count the votes, you are 100% correct.

But are you going to try to convince any of us that all those that didn't vote for the bill got nothing inserted into it that they or their lobbyists might have wanted? This abomination of a piece of legislation is the product of back-room wrangling by members of both parties? Large parts of the bill were written by the special interests who benefitted. This thing was passed with the Democrats in control of all three branches of government. For that they must accept the responsibility.

But if you're going to try to convince us all those who didn't vote for the bill struggled to get a much better bill created, were all clean as the driven snow as far as special interest influence was concerned, and all kept their hands in their pockets as the tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions were being passed around by the lobbyists trying to get "their stuff" included in the bill, if you're going to suggest that the "no" votes were something other than the GOP simply refusing to vote for a Democrat bill, key parts of which were desired by the POTUS...then I'm going to tell you, no I am not in the market for that bridge in Brooklyn that you're trying to sell.

This was a failure of the entire administration and Congress at the time the bill was passed. No one should get a free pass because they acted in a high-minded and responsible fashion, because they didn't. No one should be complimented for voting yes or no on this bill. No, this was a Congress who voted the way they did for purely political reasons, not in an effort to serve the American public. No way should any of the "no voters" be complimented for having a better idea and simply losing the good fight. That's not the way it was, and you know it!
