47 Democrats.....

[Zam-Zam]

.....have told the President he's wrong. Imagine that:


In a 289-137 vote, the House on Thursday easily approved legislation that requires new screening requirements on refugees from Syria and Iraq before they can enter the United States.

The 47 Democrats who voted for the bill ranged from centrist Blue Dogs, vulnerable lawmakers in tough reelection races and even one member of leadership: Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), who heads House Democrats' communications efforts.

Two Republicans voted against the bill: Reps. Walter Jones (N.C.) and Steve King (Iowa).

The outcome suggests the House could override Obama if he vetoes the measure, although there's no guarantee that Democrats will side against the president if they are asked to sustain a veto.

In the end, it may not end up meaning anything, but it is interesting that not everyone is on board with the President's way of thinking.

Very few are on board, in fact. Mostly just those who don't have the interests of the American people in mind.

We'll see what happens when the rubber meets the road. Defying Obama with a Congressional vote is one thing; overriding his promised veto would be quite another. If these 47 Democrats stand their ground, it would be quite a humiliation for the President, and there would likely be hell to pay.

If it should come to that, we'll find out who has a spine and who.....doesn't.

For what it's worth:

Washington (CNN)Most Americans are siding with Republicans and believe President Barack Obama should halt plans to accept Syrian refugees into the United States, a new poll shows.

A Bloomberg Politics poll released Wednesday found that 53% of American adults don't want Syrian refugees resettled in the U.S., while 28% say the Obama administration should proceed with its plan to accept 10,000 refugees next year without religious screening, and 11% say only Christians from Syria should be allowed in.

Indeed, it appears not everyone is on board with the President on this one.

The Democrats aren't like the Republican Ass Holes that demand loyalty at all costs

Maybe for once they are actually voting as a representitaive of their constituents. Perhaps they learned from the last election or two... if you aren't doing what your constituents want, you may end up out of a job.

I am glad that there are still some Democrats who care about Americans.

Sure ...No Republican has said anything Hateful....You will be in for shock come next November...Your kind will finally face reality

Without hate and division, the DNC has no power. Look what they're offering for 2016; old, white, bitter losers.

No, i don't see anything that is HATEFUL. I see things in opposition to Syrians. I see things discussing the necessity of keeping americans safe. But, I haven't seen anyone preaching hate. You see, average americans are tired of of a bunch of wussed arsed leftys screamin HATE with their hair on fire. We don't care anymore and we aren't going to let you continue to dominate the rhetoric. There is nothing hateful in looking out about the welfare of Americans first and foremost.

So two Republicans had the courage to stand up and tell the other Republicans they are wrong.

More important for Dems, millions will vote several times.
