By Astrological Sign?

[question everything]

The Washington Post has a summary of the Stimulus bill vote. And one can view it by party, region, boomer status or... astrological sign.

What can I say?

[Clio the Leo]

1. Gotta love them Leo's!

And the Libras too, none of them let us down!

[FrenchieCat]

2. YeaH!

I'm a Libra! :bounce:

[Clio the Leo]

3. I'd like to see horoscope breakdown by party...

.... I dont seriously believe in astrology, but it's fun. Wonder if there's a correlation between party and sign.

I know of someone else who IS a Leo though. (Depending on which calendar you read, otherwise he's a Cancer.)

[firedupdem]

6. cancer's are sweet people...I know first hand...

:)

[AspenRose]

25. Bush is a cancer

(in more ways than one, apparently)

Sorry hun...

[tekisui]

13. Proud Leo here!

Leo's rock!:woohoo:

[a la izquierda]

15. Yes we do...

[BrklynLiberal]

4. Biggest majority was in Sagittarius

[Jennicut]

16. I'm a Sag-Cap cusp, born Dec 20th....Darn there are lots of Sags!

[CrownPrinceBandar]

20. 'Cos were the best!

[Jennicut]

33. I can't deny that! Mary Todd Lincoln was a Sag.

Nostradamus was one too!

[NutmegYankee]

18. Same number of Yes votes as Libra though.

7

[Vektor]

39. Yay, fellow Sagittarians!

I knew I was in good company!

[greyl]

5. Wtf? nt

[MoJoWorkin]

7. Pisces here. I am in good company---Ted Kennedy.

[question everything]

23. Except that Ted Kennedy did not vote

not on the final bill and not on many more bills to come.

[MoJoWorkin]

35. That wasn't the point. He is also a Pisces, as am I.... that was all.

I know he is too ill and unable to vote.

[woo me with science]

8. Well, that's disturbing. nt

[Honeycombe8]

9. Wow. That's quirky. Good link. nt

[soothsayer]

10. cool! thanks

[Eryemil]

11. It's kind of weird, all the earth signs are Republicans and all the Water signs Democrats

Which is right about where the divide falls between liberal and conservative if I remember correctly.
I'm an atheist skeptic but it is still pretty interesting. I would love to do a survey.

Does anyone know where the air and fire signs fall on the spectrum?

[BrklynLiberal]

24. Interesting observation..

[AspenRose]

26. Naw: I'm an "earth" sign and my republican husband is a "water" sign

[Eryemil]

28. Well I don't actually believe there's anything to it, I just thought it was interesting

Specially since it's just more than two samples in this case.

[Vektor]

40. Not 100% sure, but I'd be willing to bet that fire signs lean heavily liberal.

And I don't put a ton of stock into astrology, but I do believe, just from my own personal experiences, and my observations of people, there's a little something to it, even if it's not gospel.

[Barack_America]

12. WTF fellow Cancers!?! We're supposed to be generous and nurturing people.

But I just learned that Carl Levin is a Cancer like me.

:loveya:

[pipi_k]

14. HAH!!! As a Libra myself, I half expected

all the Librans to be over in the "no vote" column because they just couldn't decide which way to go...

:7

[TheKentuckian]

34. Nah, is even possible for us Libras to truly be conservative?

We usually want the best for everybody and that means liberal policy.

[pipi_k]

36. Oh, I'm just looking at it from the viewpoint

of even having multiple choices to begin with, whatever they are. If nothing else, Libras always want to be fair

Linda Goodman (in her book "Sun Signs") got a pretty good grasp on it, I think...

She said that if a Libran is arguing one side of an issue, he or she can just as easily turn around and argue the other side as well, even if he or she doesn't really believe in the other side.

It just sort of happens...

;)

[NorthCarolina]

17. Scorpio, some pluses, some minus..but in good company with Sherrod Brown on board

eom

[question everything]

27. Yes, we really owe Sherrod Brown a lot

I hope that the leaders will remember his sacrifice, to leave his mother's wake for the crucial vote.

[Writer]

19. "Post-Boomer," huh?

Does anyone not know how to pronounce GENERATION X???

Eh?

[camera obscura]

21. As a Capricorn... all my fellow Senators are lame, even the Ayes. Wish I was a Gemini or a Scorpio

They got all the good ones.

[Spazito]

22. OMG, I want to be re-born and stat!

I share the same sign as mccain, brownback, corker, grassley demint, kill me now! More Virgos voted no,what assholes (except me, Akaka, Inouye and Sanders of course!).

[question everything]

29. No, we need you to keep the balance from tipping too far to the right

I am a Leo-virgo cusp - depending on the calendar. Oh well.

:hi:

[Spazito]

30. LOL! It's too late anyway, my Mom said no friggin way was I gonna fit...

back in her uterus now!

:rofl: and


:hi: back at ya!

[PurityOfEssence]

31. Considering the upsurge in public religion these days, why so surprised?

The supernatural seems to be in fashion of late.

[ChiciB1]

32. Scorpio Here... And So Was BOBBY Kennedy!! n/t

[Muttocracy]
