OK let's see:
The bill was offered last year by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.
Two people voted for the bill: Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., and Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif.
So this bill was introduced by a Democrat and ALL THE VOTES FOR IT WERE BY DEMOCRATS.
Now let's go further:
"Even [Charles Rangel] urged Democrats to vote against the bill, and charged Republicans were cynically trying to use the measure to escape election-season questions about the war in Iraq."
So basically a
Democrat introduced this bill, only Democrats voted for the bill, and then the Democrat who introduced it didn't want to back it to make it seem as if it wasn't a Democrat bill.
So Brandon, how is this title misleading??
