House delivers for AIPAC, 410-1, passing Israel as ‘strategic partner’ bill

[jjdoyle]

Thomas Massie should run for President in 2016.
Solid record. Solid talking points.

Why do zionists love welfare and warfare sooooooo much.... It's like you can smell it from their pores.

They will be the reason for WW3, no doubt.....

How did McCain vote? Probably for it i assume.

He's a Senator, not a Congressman.

I was wondering whether the lone "no" was Amash, or Massie - had to be one of the two. Sure enough, one of those guys came through. I wouldn't be surprised if Amash simply sat this one out and didn't vote at all (or voted "present"), rather than open himself up to accusations that he would only vote against it because of his ethnic background. I'm interested in hearing his reasoning as well.

anyone know Amash's reasoning?

I gave him crap on facebook for the last one he voted for, and after enough others piled on, he relented and apologized for the vote. Too many people like his page now, it's a waste of time to go after him again. Especially when he showed he wasn't sincere with his apology.

Amash voted for it. Most probably because of the primary.

Jones was sick and did not vote.

I don't believe the Senate bill has gone through yet.

It had 55 cosponsors and all 100 will vote in the affirmative.

ETA: Up to 63 cosponsors.

We now know who has fresh crosshairs on his back.

Survival reflex.

1. Are they so stupid that they don't know they're being used?

Is that a serious question?

2. Do they think that we're so stupid that we don't know we're being used?

Is that a serious question?

Therefore, zero + epsilon chance of being elected, 100% chance of being assassinated in the nearly impossible case.

Thomas be a good egg. I would hate to see him subjected to the miseries of the Oval Office.

Senators are Congressmen. You mean, "he's a Senator, not a House Rep."
