Thank Christ they took care of this...

PROOF that only GOD can bring the parties and this nation back together!

First thing they have agreed on overwhelmingly in many years!

(Particularly since it's been our official "national motto" and on our money since 1957.....during the McCarthy era... But, hey, nothing like dragging it out again and re-certifying it to keep the cons happy.)

Correction... "But I'm sure that there are MANY in the both parties that felt it necessary to stroke their base."

On a 396-9 vote Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution reaffirming 'In God We Trust' as the official national motto of the United States.

And thank you for playing.

Did you think they would vote against it? Wait until you see the vote totals for motherhood, pie, and the flag. But aren't you glad they wasted the time to reconfirm a 54 year old law that was already in place. (Pssst...Motherhood, pie and the flag have been around much longer, but never let an opportunity for jingoism go to waste.)

Did you think that was a waffle answer? The fact is they did waste as much time as the Republicans. That's the facts. If they would or wouldn't vote against it is not the issue. Do some research before you put your foot in your mouth. All of your political posturing and partisan retorts will not change the fact that almost ALL OF THEM voted for it.

:thumbsup:

Nor will it change the fact that it was already a law and didnt need to be brought up for a vote...again. But thanks for playing. Deflect much?

LJ asking if someone "deflects much." Now that's funny rofllol :can't hear

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., who was among nine lawmakers voting against the resolution, called it a meaningless distraction from the nation's real problems. "Nobody is threatening the national motto," he said.

There are ALWAYS attacks on the work GOD in anything! This was a great vote. A show of unity to show this naiton can still come together on certain issues. That we are NOT divided beyond repair. And it really does show the one thing that still holds this naiton together.
