My brother was trying to find out how Marsha Blackburn voted on Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (HR 7311, I think). The bill that says we must accept and take care of children coming over the border. He and I both suspect since it was a Bush bill she voted yes but can't find anything.
He was wondering as she was on the Sunday morning shows talking smack about Obama and what's happening at the border today. Not sure what he'll do with the info. He's a political junkie but doesn't come here. I think he'd like to know if she's a hypocritical hack like the rest but likes to have facts and not assume.

Thanks for the link. It may be what he was using so I'll ask before digging into it more.

(2,795 posts)She voted for it, like we both assumed since it was a Bush era bill. Now she's out bad mouthing exactly what she voted for, of course, without saying she was for it before she was against it
