MegaVote: GA 13th, 12/23/2010

I am on unfamiliar ground here, the gut tells me that Isakson voted yes for more than the President's verbal promise spend more money missle development.  A promise everyone knows is hollow. I have to wonder if maybe because the Republican Senators are under a microscope that they aren't passing around the unpopular votes that they really want to make but know their consituents will crucify them for.  Next he'll be hard right on a hot botton topic.  In the end they all suck.
