FALLOUT FROM IMMIGRATION FIASCO SPELLS TROUBLE FOR GOP,
This column is nuts.
The roll call, known as a cloture vote, was 46 for and 53 against. Twelve Republicans joined 33 Democrats and an independent in voting to invoke cloture, while 15 Democrats and an independent sided with 37 GOP members in opposing it.
This mean two-thirds of Dem supported it. Three-fourths of Republican opposed it.
All Dem Presidential candidates supported it. All GOP candidates except McCain opposed it.
A new CBS News poll shows only 13% of Americans thought the Senate should pass the bill. The final Rasmussen Reports national telephone poll before the vote found that just 22% of Americans supported the legislation.
So this is a GOP problem that the Dems supported this unpopular bill and (on average)the GOP did not? And that the Dem Presidential candidate supported it and the GOP candidates didn't?
"Nut case", indeed!
