House Ethics Bill passes...

Why would anyone vote against this????

The stats say 2 republicans and 6 democrats voted against this...again, I say why?

Abercrombie (D-Hawaii)
Barton (R-Texas)
Boyd (D-Florida)
Clay (D-Missouri)
Cleaver (D-Missouri)
Flake (R-Arizona)
Murtha (D-Pennsylvania)
Tanner (D-Tennessee)

there were also 13 "No Votes"...we'll give them the benefit of the doubt...

Pete, I think the reason that some voted against it is because it is a sham. I want an ethics bill, but I want a strong one, not a watered down version like the democrats are trying to pass. It will be interesting to see what happens with it in the Senate.

it is easier (in my experience) to make adjustments to forward movement than it is to move things when everything has ground to a halt...

who knows???

What makes people act the way they do?

With all the recalls associated with Chinese products, do you look at the label now to see where a product is made?

NEW POLL: What percentage of baseball players were taking steriods, HGH or other enhancing drugs (like amphetamines) before the rules changes instituted by MLB?

Which would you prefer?
