Here's two stories that, at first glance seem unrelated:

Obama to give Dems earful on health care;President Obama has invited Democratic congressional members to the White House for a closed reception Wednesday evening that just happens to include 10 House members who voted "no" on the health care reform bill.

...The "no" voters invited to tonight's gala are Rep. Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania; Rep. Allen Boyd of Florida; Rep. Lincoln Davis of Tennessee; Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin of South Dakota; Rep. Frank Kratovil Jr. of Maryland; Rep. Betsy Markey of Colorado; Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah;

It appears the congressman is willing to sacrifice his career for the sake of his brothers career.

(he must have a better offer from Obama himself for when he looses his seat...I’m sure a lot of that is going on)

More buying of votes from this POS we have sitting in the WH. I’ve had it. Enough is enough. These dumocraps are destroying this nation a little bit more each and every day. And the sad thing about it is that we need to rely on these “blue dogs” to stop this madness.

If Obummer goes nuclear on this, he should be impeached. It’s unconstitutional. Period.

He depends on the katie colics and keith olbermann’s and chris tingle matthews of this world to defend him while he strips all that is honorable out of our system of laws, trashes his oath of office and breaks ALL of his promises.

So much for having a clean or ethical administration. All that vote buying is as dirty as it gets.

Is this the same Tim Johnson who had the stroke, never fully recovered, but hasn’t resigned because the RATS would lose the seat?
