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.

3081 was a general bill “Making appropriations for the Department of State, foreign operations, and related programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and for other purposes”
The vote on that probably was only slightly affected by amounts for Israel.
