From Thomas:
| Yeas | Nays | PRES | NV | |
| Democratic | 41 | 181 | 0 | 9 |
| Republican | 186 | 2 | 0 | 14 |
| Independent | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| TOTALS | 227 | 183 | 0 | 23 |

“I don’t have an agenda, I don’t have a program. I’m not a communist or a socialist. I guess I’m a left-libertarian and a populist, and I believe in the Bill of Rights the way some folks believe in the Bible.”
