Rep. Emanuel Cleaver: I’d vote for debt deal, “punch myself in stomach, then throw up.”

 Zach W  August 1, 2011

“The debt ceiling will be raised… I won’t allow it not to be lifted… [I’d do what I have to do], then go home, punch myself in the stomach, then throw up.”

– Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, appearing on Hardball

For what it’s worth, Rep. Cleaver voted against the debt ceiling “compromise” legislation, so he won’t have to punch himself in the stomach and then throw up.

Among the Democrats in Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation, Rep. Tammy Baldwin voted against the debt ceiling “compromise” legislation, while Rep. Ron Kind voted in favor. Curiously, Rep. Gwen Moore did not cast a vote.
