The query was directed at 113 members of Congress — 10 Senate Democrats, 48 House Democrats, 10 Senate Republicans, and 45 House Republicans.

This is unbelievable! Republican heads must be in a special place that is clouding their thinking.
The results are invalid, the Democratic sampling pool is approximately 33% larger than the Republican pool. Any decent pollster would tell you these results would be skewed and invalid as a result. I wonder if Dingell and Obama were the 2 Dems who voted no.
well take ten yes votes away from the democratic side and there you go. Unskewed results.
thanks averagjoe for pointing out what should be obvious.
Well of course it obvious, it's just a shame that we overlook things like a skewered sampling size to push our point... it opens us up to criticism questioning the validity of such things..
The point being that if 99% of the people think the world is flat, it must be true?
