Amazing numbers for Kind's 2002 vote! (none / 0)

I found after I'd managed to track it down(!!!).

It was on the motion to recommit with instructions to the conference committee HR 2646 (107th), the bill that eventually went on to be the last farm bill passed.

(There was no MTR on the bill during House floor action first go round, though one was allowed in the rule.)

The vote was 172-251, R51:164, D121:85.

What were those 85 Dems thinking? (They included Sanders, Rangel and Conyers, for instance.)

And the 51 GOP on the side of righteousness, too.    

Seriously wacky - on the face of it.

(The suggested (or am I overinterpreting?) reason - old bulls of both parties circling the wagons against that common enemy, the bomb-thrower insurgent - is certainly plausible.)
