40 DEMS FLEE AND CAO IS FOR CHANGE
40 DEMS FLEE AND CAO IS FOR CHANGE
Representative Anh Cao (R, Lauisiana), you think he does not have a few problems in his district? Forty Democratic representatives refused to vote for health care reform; a few problems my rear end.
Now do not get me wrong, I would not begrudge any female (or male for that matter) rep for not signing because of the Stupak amendment for the obvious reasons but I feel confident it will be stripped in committee. I have my fingers crossed anyway.
My own rep here in Alaska, Don Young (R), who is famous for keeping out of the media madness of DC made it a point to appear at BACHMANN'S FIGHT AGAINST TERROR HEALTH CARE.
I can not wait for 2010; I just hope Harry Crawford does not have any union skeletons hidden in his closet. Alaska is a vary small state if you know what I mean.
So what about the others forty dems who chose the status quo? Tell me why your blue dog fence sitters chose to piss on our leg.

Why worry about Bachmann, when MN has a Democrat like Collin Peterson voting against healthcare?
Defeat Collin Peterson!

I must have been venting really about Young hanging out with Bachmann.
I did look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collin_Peterson
to get a better idea about Collin Peterson. I get the feeling he is truly a DINO but without any more information I can not say. I do get the feeling he really is trying to meet the needs of his rural constituency only from the wrong side of the isle.
I was just hoping some of our TPM blogers might explain why their rep. voted against the reform of health care. I know why mine did!
