Voting rolls are public. It's accurate.

I have some choice words for anyone not at least marginally aware of the major components of a bill. This one was subject to much public debate, which is the one thing that killed it.

Obama and Biden knew. Just like Obama knew every time he cast a yes vote supporting the insane debacle in Iraq.

Sorry, they don't get a break on this one. Wrong is wrong.
