Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / July 2009{BS} How does Congress count votes?
When voting on a bill, only the number of votes is important. Party affiliation is irrelevant. Correct? > When voting on a bill, only the number of votes is important. Party > affiliation is irrelevant. Correct? Correct. In many votes, Representatives and Senators cross party lines. Jeff > > When voting on a bill, only the number of votes is important.

Something akin to "Reagan Democrats". They don't vote the party line, but actually think before casting votes. I think I saw one thumbing his nose at Nancy P. this afternoon. >> > When voting on a bill, only the number of votes is important. Party >> > affiliation is irrelevant. Correct?

I'm down there frequently... OK, I'm curoius, where are you? >When voting on a bill, only the number of votes is important. Party >affiliation is irrelevant. Correct? Sure it's important. In many cases their vote is dependant upon promised certain committee memberships and/or rankings. It's all about remaining in power first then gaining more power.

It had nothing to do with the careers of the members, or with anything else. > On Jul 27, 2:43 pm, "badgolferman" <REMOVETHISbadgolfer...@gmail.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > for the passing of a bill.

If you watch C-SPAN, the overall votes are counted, and the breakdown is Yea Nay R D Yes, it is only the NUMBER of votes counted that determine ratification. It seems you're trying to drive a point home; what is it? >> On Jul 27, 2:43 pm, "badgolferman" <REMOVETHISbadgolfer...@gmail.com> >> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > It seems you're trying to drive a point home; what is it?

Come one, man. I don't need to remind you what "rhetorical" means, do I? > It seems you're trying to drive a point home; what is it? I thought it was obvious, but... If both republicans AND democrats are blocking the bill, why do the headlines always say "democrats block health care plan" ? That claim would make the naive think that the repubs were for it, and it's actually the Dems who are against it. It's misleading. That's all. >> It seems you're trying to drive a point home; what is it? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > would make the naive think that the repubs were for it, and it's > actually the Dems who are against it. It's misleading. That's all. Because the Democrat have enough members of their own party in Congress to pass in both the House and the Senate. The reason the headlines (You've been watching Fox again, you sly dog!) is because there are 52 Democrats that do NOT think the President's proposal is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and want it at least revised, if not scrapped. So, they are not pledging their votes. Really pisses ol' Nancy off, doesn't it?! I thought she was going to pop a vein the other day at her 'Press conference'. After her last 'press conference', I'm surprised she got up and spoke at all. "A ba-de, a be-de, that's all, folks!" And Harry Reid?!?! OMG!!! He said, Don't expect a vote before recess! Could it be he's got a living brain cell? Nah, I bet he's being paid by the insurance cos. > > On Jul 27, 2:43 pm, "badgolferman" <REMOVETHISbadgolfer...@gmail.com> > > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > It seems you're trying to drive a point home; what is it? And if one watches C-SPAN, one would know that Congress does more than ratify things. In fact, the House of Representatives doesn't ratify a thing. However, they do vote on bills and other matters. > > > On Jul 27, 2:43 pm, "badgolferman" <REMOVETHISbadgolfer...@gmail.com> > > > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > ratify things.

Actually, the House does ratify admendments to the Constitution, on rare occaison. > When voting on a bill, only the number of votes is important. Party > affiliation is irrelevant. Correct? Someone says, One, Two, Three, Four. That is how they count you FUCKWIT. What does that have to do with the TOYOTA forum?
