Again... Several Republicans "against the healthcare bill" did not vote for the Republican proposed amendment but the opposing Democrat did. Enough that if those Republicans did vote, the proposed amendment would have went through.
Basically... both sides voted for and against, yes heavy for it on the Rep side, of course. It wasn't one sided though.
I don't expect Democrats to help small business, I do expect Republicans that say they are for small business, lower taxes, hate the healthcare bill, don't like this actual part and have stated that - yet let it go through.
That doesn't make you ask, WTF is going on, even a little?
