That's 21 liberal Democrats, and 1 "right-wing conservative fuck" Republican.
Steny Hoyer even got elected to the position of House Democratic Whip -- the person responsible for getting other Democrats to vote for bills that the leadership supports.
On behalf of "right-wing Conservative fucks", we'd like an apology.

So, if this is the case, then shouldn't there be like 100 Republicans sponsoring this stupid bill for every 20 Democrats?
