They are ON THE RECORD with their votes.  These were all single-paragraph amendments, with no hidden pork or anything else.  We can see clearly where they stand, and it was on the side of billionaires, NOT the working class.  The truth of these votes CAN NOT BE DENIED.

Every last Republican who cast these votes needs to be cast out of office.[/quote]

These were all poison pill amendments that were designed to kill a very focused reconciliation bill. None of those topics are the subject of the bill. [/quote]

Don’t be silly. This is detail on what the GOP supports or doesn’t support spend tax dollars on. Spend on billionaires and cut everything else. The budget is very much the focus of a reconciliation bill. [/quote]

The bill is for border security, military fund8ng and energy policy. It doesn’t include the tax cuts. [/quote]

Wrong. Currently, House Republicans have the tax cuts in their bill.  Also, if it's for energy policy then how do they reconcile gutting support for solar and wind power?  That's going to drive energy costs up rather than lowering costs.  [/quote]
