Below are the Democrats who stood against Obama’s expanding war the day their votes mattered (See where your Representative stood here):
Tammy Baldwin, Michael Capuano, John Conyers, Lloyd Doggett, Donna Edwards, Keith Ellison, Sam Farr, Bob Filner, Alan Grayson, Raul Grijalva, Michael Honda, Marcy Kaptur, Dennis Kucinich, Barbara Lee, Zoe Lofgren, Eric Massa, Jim McGovern, Michael Michaud, Donald Payne, Chellie Pingree, Jared Polis, Jose Serrano, Carol Shea-Porter, Jackie Speier, John Tierney, Nikki Tsongas, Maxine Waters, Diane Watson, Peter Welch, and Lynn Woolsey.
Here is Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake explaining why so many Republicans voted the same way as the above Democrats. It appears that there is some consensus among the left and right on fiscal matters. It has been a very long time since both sides of the aisle have agreed on anything. If there had been a tax cut attached to the bill, surely the Republican vote would have been 100% for the bill.
