How Missouri's U.S. Representatives voted on H.R. 1

Reactions (3.00 / 1)

Rep. Graves 'disgusted' with economic stimulus bill

Blunt Votes Against Democrats' Debt Plan (It's almost like Roy Dale is running for something with all these press releases he puts out)

But Blaine Luetkemeyer had some concerns about 2 weeks ago:

"We're headed down a road that I don't think we want to go down, and that's a road toward socialism," he said. After "walking" down that path, the country is now "running down the road toward socialism," he said.

Emerson's the best member of the Missouri Republican delegation. Which doesn't really mean a lot since she can vote however she wishes because she's set for a long time.

Hailing from the land of milk, honey, and Democrats

Republicans think it is 1993. (3.00 / 1)

Who knows? Maybe it is. Still, it's sad when hoping for failure is your best option. And that's the boat Republicans find themselves in.

Eric Cantor... (0.00 / 0)

Daddy Blunt's replacement wrote this today and sent out:

"In his Inaugural Address, President Obama promised to put an end to the petty politics that have come to dominate Washington. Yet, today that message is threatened as the White House and their allies are making political threats rather than crafting a bipartisan economic stimulus plan," Cantor said. "Yesterday's vote was only the beginning of the process and House Republicans are committed to working with President Obama to find real economic solutions. We should not allow politics to destroy this process. Threats from unnamed White House sources undermine our national spirit of bipartisanship."

"In addition, President Obama should immediately disavow plans by some political groups who announced they will run attack ads against Republicans. Let us be clear: attack ads will not create jobs or help struggling families but will only serve to undermine our nation's desire for bipartisanship. Instead of thinking about winning at any cost, we should all be thinking about creating the jobs Americans need."

Here is the Threat he is speaking of:

Pushing back against the unanimous House Republican vote against President Obama's stimulus plan, the White House plans to release state-by-state job figures 'so we can put a number on what folks voted for an against,' an administration aide said."
