I don't think it was quite 'overwhelmingly'.  I think it was a little 
closer than that.  But hey, you keep up the banter and see if 
you can drive it up.  Regardless, don't you think that witholding aid is 
a bit far to go to make a stupid political point?  Morons making a stand 
is the last thing we need, that's what got us where we are today.
   
Oh, and it's SEPARATE not SEPERATE.
