12. This is a VERY interesting list
Schumer/Gillibrand & Menendez/Lautenberg - Solid block there.


Reid voted for it even though NV is one of the pesky credit card states.


Johnson did NOT vote for it and I can speculate that if Stephanie Herseth Sandlin was in the Senate (rather than Thune,) she wouldn't have voted for it either. SD is another one of those credit card states...


Carper/Kaufman (DE) did not vote for it either as Delaware is the ultimate credit card state.

13. This is a defeat of biblical proportions...
Meaning those who govern this country, proporting at every chance to say they are Christians, are giving a big Fuck You to the Bible and Christian Charity.

I wonder what Pat Robertson has to say about Usury.
