Story: "The Senate did an abrupt about-face yesterday, voting overwhelmingly to begin paying for 370 miles of fencing and 500 miles of vehicle barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border, just three weeks after voting against the same spending.
The amendment's sponsor said senators were so embarrassed by that July 13 vote that most felt they had to reverse course and vote for it this time -- especially after so many were on record in May voting to build the fence in the first place. The amendment, which provides nearly $2 billion for the project, passed 94-3, with 66 senators switching from "no" to "yes" votes since last month. "
After the last time, I can only imagine the number of calls they recieved. I was pretty hopping mad about it, but they apparently changed they're mind. A lot of them.
And now 66 senators can say "I voted for the fence, before I voted against it, and then voted for it again."

Ok, see, when was the last time you posted something that said "And the House Reps voted on..."?? No body talks about the Reps. I'm not asking you to, I'm just pointing that out.
Let me check...

Yeah, I don't talk about them much. Mostly because they always vote conservative, then get smacked down by the Dems and RINOS in the Senate. Besides, the fights are in the Senate, not the house
Just a few reasons why I want to be one.
Remember what they say about Kerry in the last Republican Pres Convention? Flip flop, flip flop, flip flop.
Yup. And now a bunch of republicans are guilty too, although happily to the correct side.
