Republicans vote down resolution supporting Mother’s Day! WTF?
They're losing it...
Oedipus Tex
On Wednesday afternoon, the House had just voted, 412 to 0, to pass H. Res. 1113, “Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother’s Day,” when Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), rose in protest.
“Mr. Speaker, I move to reconsider the vote,” he announced.
Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), tabled Tiahrt’s request, setting up a revote. This time, 178 Republicans cast their votes against mothers…
House Minority Leader John Boehner, asked yesterday to explain why he and 177 of his colleagues switched their votes, answered: “Oh, we just wanted to make sure that everyone was on record in support of Mother’s Day.”
By voting against it?
Read through the article. I think the Republikans are just plain losing it before the elections.
