How Many Senators Would Have Voted Otherwise?

The bottom line is that this bill would have never been brought up for a vote, either tacked onto another bill or standing alone, if the Democrats had been in power. Once it was brought up for a vote, even as a stand alone, most Democrats would have voted for it .

I snipped your excuses. Don't excuse poor representation. It's a bad habit. You deserve better from you party of choice.

But I don't want to be represented. I don't want my Representative or Senator to vote on a bill because if he doesn't I won't vote for him. I don't want him to vote for something based on his religious convictions, or according to a plank of his party line.

I want him to vote for something because it makes sense, is reasonable, is good for America, and moves us forward. I want a politician with a brain.

I don't think they exist any more.
