My dog ate my CAFTA vote
Republican representatives do and say the darnedest things:
Rep. Charles Taylor says an electronic glitch kept his vote against the controversial Central American Free Trade Agreement from registering, but his explanation hasn’t stopped criticism from some Democrats.
The controversial trade bill narrowly passed the U.S. House early Thursday by a vote of 217-215. With Taylor’s vote, the measure still would have passed, but only by one vote. Another Republican House member said she planned to vote against the measure, but didn’t make it back from her district in time.
Suddenly Rep. Charles Taylor can't vote straight. Rep. Jo Ann Davis, a Virginia Republican, couldn't vote due to weather. It seems to me that Taylor and Davis put their party ahead of their constituents and are afraid to come clean about it.
