The Stage II Booster for the 26 Month Flight of Repeal and Replace Obamacare Ignited Wednesday as The Senate Voted 51 to 47 Against Repeal!
(My post, January 20) The United States House of Representative voted overwhelmingly, 245 to 189 (a 56 vote margin!) to repeal Obamacare Wednesday. Incredibly, every Republican voted to repeal. Only three Democrats —Dan Boren, OK, Mike McIntyre, NC and Mike Ross AK— voted for Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act. Read the rest: REPEAL: A ROCKET-LIKE LIFTOFF,
The Vote Against Ignited The Booster?
Yes, this vote is a major 2012 election issue for every Senator (33) up for re-election in 2012. The 51-47 vote against repeal put 32 members of the Senate class of 2012 on record. Only Senator Lieberman, CT, who is not seeking re-election, did not vote. 13 Democrats will suffer at the polls for this vote (some may not even run). All Republicans voted for repeal and are in good shape —so far. The Socialist Independent, Sanders, VT, will not be hurt by his vote.
Other critical votes with or against “We The People” are coming. We will watch and report here, and, yes we’re keeping score. I’ve posted the vote below:
