Matheson, a conservative Democrat and leader of the Blue Dog caucus, said he is convinced the massive $940 billion bill would “leave our nation worse off.”

“I am saddened that the year-long debate on health reform has resulted in legislation that is too expensive, contains too many special deals, does not contain health care costs and will result in increases in health insurance premiums and therefore I will vote against the legislation,” he said.

Is there really such a thing as a conservative democrat? I claim the term is an oxy-moron.

Nonetheless, I concur with his reasoning, although it is simply the introduction for why the legislation is immoral.

Why don’t any of these people voting against bring up the fact that one really good reason to vote against this monstrosity is because there will be 16,000 new IRS agents monitoring us and waiting to fine us or slap us into jail if we don’t pay for their unconstitutional bill, which, by the way, strips us of our freedom and gives control of our very bodies to the federal government?
