I thought the first time around didn't matter. That's what I've been told quite a few times by the above poster in another thread. No, we don't consider who voted the first time. We only consider who voted for or against the final bill, or so I am told. And the final bill had bipartisan support. Almost equal support in the Senate, and substantial Republican support in the House.

I'm not making apologies for the Democrats. They've done their share of terrible things. But I know which kinds of terrible things the Democrats are responsible for, and which kinds of terrible things the Republicans are responsible for. And in the case of the current economic situation in the US (and around the world), that is mostly the baby of the Republican party, and it is entirely the product of the Republican political and economic philosophy.
