Martha Koester provides this information about the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999.
Even the bluest of the blue dogs. Every single Republican, even the more moderate ones, voted for it. This needs to be shoved in the faces of the Larouchies and their Hitler moustaches. The really bad news is that Clinton could have vetoed it, and with a 54/44 Yea vote, that veto would not have been overrriden.
