27 GOP Senators 'Disapprove' Of Their Own Vote To Raise Debt Ceiling

[n2doc]

Twenty-seven Republican senators voted with Democrats on Oct. 16 to lift the debt ceiling and avert a catastrophic default. And each one of those 27 senators voted Tuesday to "disapprove" of their own votes.

The vote Tuesday was a symbolic "resolution to disapprove" of the debt limit hike. It was mandated by the deal thanks to a last-minute provision inserted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). The motion failed 45-54 because all Democrats opposed it.

Even if it passed Congress, it wouldn't have stopped the debt limit hike because President Obama could veto the measure. The purpose was to give these senators the chance to say they disapprove of a deal they voted for.

Worthless Senators voting on a worthless bill, wasting taxpayer money.

1. You took the word right out of my mouth.

I was just about to post with this comment: More evidence that Republicans are silly and worthless.

2. The 24 Billion Dollar Party Strikes again.

A Repuke Congresscritter is more useless than a warm pitcher of spit.

[Mass]

3. Stupid bill, but they did not vote for the bill, but for the motion to Proceed. Good to see

Republicans opposing a filibuster, for a change.

Dems should have left the Republicans bring the bill to the floor, just to see whether they would actually have voted to disapprove their vote.

6. There is nothing good about this

The only purpose of this vote is to provide fodder for deceptive campaign ads. There is no other motive.

7. I guess I should have added "sarcasm".
