Well, that's basically the Republican take in the Senate. shhhhhh. Don't speak of it!
Otherwise, some guy named Ntoddler has the right idea. Every Democrat (in the Senate, all but 2 in the House) and 7 Republicans voted for this. A majority of both Houses effectively voted for the measure, and for once the press seemed to understand that this wasn't just a typical procedural vote and reported on it fairly well.
It's the Republican war, and they refused to talk about it.
