WASHINGTON - If Democratic leaders manage to push a massive health care overhaul through the House of Representatives this weekend, they'll have to do it without one of Maryland's Democratic congressmen.

He voted for cap and trade - some pork project promised to him for farmers - and screwed the rest of us.

He voted for the 2nd stimulus bill too.

So, while he probably voted like the RINO he replaced, he is not representing his conservative district very well.

Yep ,only by a 1000 votes or so. Should be a little easier for Dr. Harris in 12 months.

Agreed, I’ll be voting against him next Nov.

Ah-h-h, the games we play. Marie Antoinette Pelosi is frantically seeing how many Dems are up for reelection and how many she can "set" free so that they can say they opposed this bill.

Don't trust either of them.
