They voted it down because their feelings were hurt? Here's Pelosi's speech. If that hurt their feelings, then they're a bunch of glass jawed weasels. Go home and don't come back.

(Apologies to weasels everywhere for denigrating you. Being compared to the current GOP is an insult to your species, and I am sorry I could not come up with a better analogy which does not slander you for being weasels.)

What would you have them do? I was impressed that they stood their ground and aligned with their conservative base. Of course, who the hell knows what's going to happen now. The sky hasn't fallen yet, but generally, it takes awhile for the sky to reach terminal velocity.
