Roll Call for Senate Bailout Vote

I guess it was too much to ask for two common sense votes in the same week.

After the House shot down the $700 billion golden parachute for the Wall Street crooks earlier this week, yesterday the Senate showed how pathetic it is in passing the bill by a whopping 74-25. This isn't overly surprising though. There are MAYBE a handful of admirable congresspeople, and they're basically ALL in the House.

As a New Jerseyan, I found it encouraging that a good number of N.J. Reps voted nay in the House. We went 0 for 2 in the Senate, however, in terms of doing the right thing.

The full bill can be viewed in PDF format at http://www.infowars.com/?p=5034.

Below is yesterday's roll call. And you can bet the House will be back tomorrow or very early next week to tilt a good number of its votes and send this to the Retard-in-Chief for the signoff, while he gives the nation that sub-moronic grin as he signs away more of our freedoms.
