Yeah they are...sm - JTBB
[ In Reply To ..]I like that site because it'll give you a short description of the bill and also send you straight to it.
Ummmm...60 - 51 = ummmm more? lol.
I appreciate an honest vote - at least it wasn't a "Present" like Obama - how many ti - Aunt Sue

Fact Check. Obama never voted "present" in the US Congress. sm - VTMT
[ In Reply To ..]He voted "present" in the IL senate many times, because in that state senators vote "present" when they like the bill but don't like the amendments.
Thank you! - nm

[ In Reply To ..]"In January 2008 the National Journal published its rankings of all U.S. senators -- based on how they had voted on a host of foreign and domestic policy bills -- and rated Barack Obama "the most liberal Senator of 2007." "Obama’s [foreign policy] liberal score of 92 and conservative score of 7 indicate that he was more liberal in that issue area than 92 percent of the senators and more conservative than 7 percent," the researchers explained. In the area of domestic policy voting, the study found that "Obama voted the liberal position on 65 of the 66 key votes on which he voted … [and] garnered perfect liberal scores in both the economic and social categories."
The leftist organization Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) similarly rated Obama’s Senate voting record at 97.5 percent. By contrast, the American Conservative Union (the ADA’s ideological antithesis) gave Obama a rating of 8 percent.
Around July 19, 2007 -- after slightly more than five months had passed since he had declared his presidential candidacy -- Obama clearly became far more focused on campaigning for his White House run, than on performing the legislative duties for which he had been elected to the U.S. Senate. From that date through May 22, 2008, Obama voted on just 34 percent of all the bills that came before the Senate. On the other 66 percent, he cast no vote of any kind, either for or against the legislation in question. "
Project Vote Smart
Exactly. Also votes can change regardless of - party affiliation based on the time of the vote
[ In Reply To ..]What was the amendment buried in the bill/law? What was the desire of the voter's when the vote was taken?
Look how many Democrats have stepped forward and said they would never have voted for Obamacare because they were so grosslsy misled and had no idea what was in it.
A lot to be said for actually reading the bills/laws and listening to what your constituents have to say about current events.

[ In Reply To ..]Thanks so much for posting this site. For the benefit of those who didn't know they were supposed to "click" to see Ryan's voting record, I've copied it and am hoping it will come through here in its entirety, as it's a very long list. It basically reflects the continuation of the wars we selectively start, and it doesn't care very much for health benefits for any American citizen. (I find that interesting because every time we invade and demolish other countries, we include universal healthcare as things we include to help the people of all these countries.)

Primary Mission Not Accomplished For GOP.Nov 07, 2012
Wow....instead of working together with the President of the United States on improving our country, doing the peoples' work, and trying to be fair to all Americans, the GOP members of Congress chose making Obama a one-term president as their #1 goal. All those hours working on obstruction, all those missed opportunities to do good things for this country, all that money down the drain. I would grade that a "Major Fail" of their #1 goal. ...
Really Great Things Our Country Has AccomplishedApr 19, 2011
We really can do better. I know we can because we have. We just need to remind ourselves and our political leaders that there are solutions to problems, if we focus on the problems and not the politics. When I hear that it is impossible for us to fund Medicare or continue giving milk to children who would otherwise go hungry, I wonder what happened to the old America. What happened to the America that used to be able to accomplish things beyond our expectations. Here are some of the ones I woul ...

One Of Paul Ryan's Best And Most May 27, 2011
quotes: Ryan gave strong advice to GOP presidential candidates: "If you want to be the president of the United States, you should put up ideas on how to solve this country's massive fiscal and economic problems. The current president isn't doing that. Our nominees should do that." This man gets it. I don't care what party he is...he gets it. ...
Ryan: Rape Is Just Another Aug 27, 2012
In an interview with Josh Smith, WJHL-TV out of Richmond, VA, when asked where he stands on the question of legal abortions for rape and incest victims, Paul Ryan replied: "I'm very proud of my pro-life record, and I've always adopted the idea that, the position that the method of conception does'nt change the definition of life." Lah-dee-dah. Rape is just another legitimate method of conception. This should erase any doubts on where he stands, and demolish an ...

Ryan's RestaurantsMar 08, 2016
Not sure where to post this but I don't think I'll be eating at any Ryan's Restaurant anywhere anymore. The Ryan's in my city was closed without notice to their employees this past Sunday morning. The employees worked Saturday, came to work on Sunday expending to work only to find a locked door and note saying the restaurant was closed. Horrible way to treat employees. Fortunately for some of them, another local restaurant manager is willing and wanting ...

Ryan's Medicare PlanAug 14, 2012
. . . the federal government's. If it's good enough for them . . . The NYT said Ryan has the same plan for Medicare as federal employees enjoy (published 04/18/2011). Also, Ryan wrote this: "Starting in 2022, new Medicare beneficiaries will be enrolled in the same kind of health care program that members of Congress enjoy." His op-ed about this was published in the WSJ. Sounds good to me! ...
Paul Ryan On Ayn RandAug 16, 2012
I have been hearing that Paul Ryan worships Ayn Rand saying the following: "I just want to speak to you a little bit about Ayn Rand and what she meant to me in my life and [in] the fight we're engaged here in Congress. I grew up on Ayn Rand, that's what I tell people." "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are." I have to admit I did not know anything about Any Rand, so I ...
No Love/Rage For RyanAug 17, 2012
So, Ryan says he's a fan of the music group "Rage against the machine." This in itself is really, really confusing given the content of their songs. The article is linked. Exert -- "Don't mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta "rage" in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he's not raging against is the privileged elit ...
10 Top Zingers From Ryan's SpeechAug 30, 2012
10. “Their moment came and went. Fear and division are all they’ve got left. With all their attack ads, the president is just throwing away money— and he’s pretty experienced at that.” 9. “President Barack Obama came to office during an economic crisis, as he has reminded us a time or two.” 8. “It all started off with stirring speeches, Greek columns, the thrill of something new. Now all that’s left is a presidency adrift, surviving on slogans that already seem tired, gra ...

Paul Ryan's Eyes -- Seriously....Mar 10, 2013
Am I the only one who thinks there is something seriously off about Paul Ryan's eyes? Years ago, I read that when the whites of the eyes show below the irises, it's an indication of something--I can't remember quite what, but I think it was a negative thing. That look has always given me a bit of a chill. I believe some thyroid conditions cause a similar look, so maybe that's it. ...

Paul Ryan - GOP Budget ProposalFeb 12, 2010
Cut Medicare and privatize Social Security. That's what the republicans presented. Let's hope we don't hear any more screaming about rationing health care under Obama, because that's what the republicans want, not the dems. I am amazed that they are not just sticking to NO. Whenever they come up with a proposal, it hits the fan. Like this tired attempt to do Medicare and Social Security in. The good news is that there are a fair number of older people who are republi ...
