On most bills I would agree. However, Obama has almost tied his entire first term on this issue. - Redmond Oct 13, 06:42 1
- Possibly - or possibly the legislation will just go back for another round of discussion and compromises. Your IM rings true. FWIW Wyden's decision - Roger More Oct 13, 07:09
whether they think the same way is immaterial to whether or not they vote the same way. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 06:24 6
- Sure - it's a combo of what their party tells them to do, what their constituents want them to do and what they want to do -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 06:27 5
  - well, what they want to do is get re-elected. - znufrii Oct 13, 06:30 4
    - Sure - and for some members that involves following what voters want and for others what the party wants (I don't think we're in disagreement here) -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 06:33 3
      - I think it tends to the latter, especially for the GOP. - znufrii Oct 13, 06:35 2
        
        That's no surprise - the Republicans are more organised than the Democrats :) - Roger More Oct 13, 06:51 1
        
        and in addition to the factors you cite, the root cause of much of it is $$$ - znufrii Oct 13, 06:58
