Roll-Call on Continued Funding of U.S. Government Suggests Top-Two States Don’t Produce More Moderate Members of Congress

On September 30, the U.S. House passed HR 6833, the bill to fund the federal government. Only ten Republicans, out of 212 Republican members, voted for the bill. Most people would probably agree the bill gives an illustration of partisanship in our current Congress.

There are fourteen Republican members from the top-two states, eleven from California and three from Washington. None of the 14 voted for HB 6833. Here is the list of Republicans who voted for and against the bill. The “yes” votes from Republicans included two members from New York, and one each from Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

  1. @Terry…. Umm what are you smoking? Richard never made a statement about his support or opposition of this bill, he merely made an observation that top-two doesn’t create moderate candidates even though people insist that it does.

    Maybe learn some reading comprehension, before you make yourself look like an idiot again?

  2. A bit of additional information… in California (a top two state) of the 42 Democrats holding US house seats, 23 are members of the “progressive caucus”. Just 3 Democrats in the entire state are “blue dogs” aka moderates. Nearly all the remaining Democrats in California are in the “New Democrats” caucus which is a more mainline Democratic Party caucus. A handful of members are in two caucuses; there are two in both the New Democrats and Blue Dogs, and three in both the New Democrats and Progressive caucus.

  3. “Aiden” is a fucking retard. Winger has clearly stated his love for Adolf Biden on multiple occasions. He has never said anything bad about communism and has openly endorsed it and its policies. “Aiden” needs to stop being a fucking retarded troll.

  4. Andy Craig is corrupt and one of Sarwark’s puppets and tried to steal NH and MA affiliates. Both are evil commies.

  5. @Walter… I appreciate the ad hominem… Ad hominems are only used by people that have no ability to use logical reasoning. It’s a telltale sign they’ve completely lost the argument… so thank you for admitting I’m right.

    I have a certified IQ of 157.

    Being moot on a point is not endorsement of that point. You seem to love projecting things that haven’t been said on to other people’s words and then countering your projection… that’s called a straw man, another logical fallacy, which shows even more that you lack basic logical reasoning and argumentative skills.

    My guess is you haven’t taken a single college level course; not even a basic composition course. They teach you about things like logical fallacies there. I guess there really is a correlation between lower IQs and social conservatism.

  6. Typo; moot should be mute. My brain was on the the idea of debate more generally (instead of the more narrow context of making a statement or lack of a statement IN a debate or discussion) so my first inclination was to spell it moot. My fault… the rest of the prior comment stands.

  7. I hate to tell you this but the letter I delivered to you about your IQ was actually an internet scam that people with low IQs fall for.

    In other news, your order of butt plugs is arriving tomorrow. So exciting!

  8. Aiden is competing with Robert K Stock for chair of the Retard Party. Fellow retards Thomas Jones, James Ogle and Robert Milnes have left the building.

  9. LOL I love pissing off trolls so much that they literally just keep proving my point about lack of intelligence and ad hominems. You’re not hurting me, you’re not harming me, in fact you’re giving me quite some entertainment. Ohh… this is too fucking comical.

    I have a 3.8 GPA (thanks to some douchebag professors, should be 4.0 otherwise) and have had IQ tests administered by people in-person. That mailman comment is comical though… And I’m not arguing with trolls, I’m correcting their complete mental deficiencies and moving on with my day. This literally took my 3 minutes to type, not really effecting my productivity…. Just a few minutes of some laughs.

    Keep being pissed off though…. Have fun with that high blood pressure.

  10. Aiden is easily triggered. What a fucking lover retard. No wonder he can’t get a date

    “Effecting” my productivity? So much for that IQ and GPA crap.

  11. Aiden is a classic retarded Adolf Biden supporter. He probably loves to sniff hair and look for dead people.

  12. Is Arden’s middle school gpa due to grade inflation and social promotion?
