re: #109 McSpiff

I’m trying to figure that out now, the AIPAC page links to Hr. 3081 and says to thank your rep for voting for it, so I’m going to assume that this was a main support bill (link: [Link: www.aipac.org…] ), which shows 242 Democratic Yeas and 9 Nays, corresponding to 96% support. Thats in contrast to 76 Republican Yeas and 97 Nays, or 43% support. (link: [Link: clerk.house.gov…] ). This is after a two minute google search, so I could easily be wrong… But that looks like strong democratic support to me.

The Israeli support provisions in the the bill were part of a larger bill; GOP reaction to it may have been based in part on unsavory measures in the bill; funds to Israel were a small part of the overall foreign aid package, and could not have been the deciding factor.
