Hmmm.... Maybe there is a reason the Congressional Approval Rating is polling in the single digits now.
From the Wall Street Journal:
"The House of Representatives almost turned into the Fight Club Thursday night, when Democrats ruled that a GOP motion had failed even though, when the gavel fell, the electronic score board showed it winning 215-213 along with the word FINAL. The presiding officer, Rep. Mike McNulty (D., N.Y.), actually spoke over the clerk who was trying to announce the result.
In the ensuing confusion several members changed their votes and the GOP measure to deny illegal aliens benefits such as food stamps then trailed 212-216. Boiling-mad Republicans stormed off the floor. The next day, their fury increased when they learned electronic records of the vote had disappeared from the House's voting system."

To paraphrase an old saying, 'the voters get the Congress that they deserve.' A sad but true comment on the state of the Republic.
