House roll call vote 245-178: Another $410 billion down the drain

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 25, 2009 05:38 PM

The House passed Porkzilla 2.0 — the $410 billion omni-waste spending bill – this afternoon.

The roll call vote is here.

Drink the Kool-Aid and repeat after me: There are no earmarks.

In one of many untold, underhanded maneuvers, the House bill had a measure buried in it that will kill school choice in the rotten public schools of Washington, D.C.

For the children.

Of course.

***

Fun fact: There were more Democrats who voted against omni-pork than Republicans who voted for it.

15 16 Pro-pork Republicans who voted for it:

Bono Mack
Brown-Waite, Ginny
Cao
Capito
Castle
Dent
Emerson
Gerlach
LoBiondo
McHugh
Miller (MI)
Murphy, Tim
Reichert
