GOP Out Cold

You never would have seen this if DeLay was still majority leader:

Legislation to fund many of the nation's health, education and social programs went down to a startling defeat in the House Thursday, led by Democrats who said cuts in the bill hurt some of America's neediest people.

The 224-209 vote against the $142.5 billion spending bill disrupted plans by Republican leaders to finish up work on this year's spending bills and cast doubt on whether they would have the votes to pass a major budget-cutting bill also on the day's agenda.

Among the more important proposed cuts were medicare and education, exactly what you would expect out of Republicans who would rather subsidize the oil industry. Today is a good day.
