Tuesday, July 27th shall be remembered well, as the day Democrat and Republican pol(l)itician alike joined together to reward the communist dictatorship in the People's Republic of China, for it's successful espionage against us and monetary influence of our elections, with a vote on renewal of Most Favored Nation trading status for their communist, state run, pseudo-businesses?
Sadly, the House failed to pass H.J. Res. 57, disapproving the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment ( normal trade relations treatment ) to the products of the People's Republic of China, by a recorded yea and nay vote of 170 yeas to 260 nays with 1 vote of " present " ( Funny, Louise McIntosh Slaughter, Democrat of New York, bears no resemblence to Republican Senator Arlen Specter? ). Understand, the measure was to stop MFN in regards to Red China; so a vote of nay, was a vote for MFN to remain in place concerning the PRC.
This semi-sellout by members of our own government to the Chinese Communists was a complete and utter disgrace. So we can all know who is bought and paid for, and who is not; here is the way they voted ( from C-Span this time and not house.gov ). You should decide for yourself, who you believe the traitors are. I believe a vote to continue treating those lousy commie punks in Beijing like valued friends, to be a vote contrary to the very survival of our nation, or even our species.
Those who allowed the Commie Rats to vomit all over us ( voted nay ), included ( a few of these seem to defy any explanation ):

When did you ever think your would see extreme left-wing liberal Democrats like Rosa DeLauro or Henry Waxman vote with conservative Republicans like Bob Barr and Joe Scarborough?
These three didn't vote ( I hope they had good reasons ):
James Oberstar ( D-MN-8 ), John Peterson ( R-PA-5 ) and Jim McDermott ( D-WA-7 ).
