The health (s)care bill last night was actually bi-partisan—bi-partisan opposition, that is. These are the 34 Dems who voted no yesterday. And if any of them are in your district, call and thank them. They deserve it:
Rep. John Adler (N.J.), Rep. Jason Altmire (Pa.), Rep. Michael Arcuri (N.Y.), Rep. John Barrow (Ga.), Rep. Marion Berry (Ark.), Rep. Dan Boren (Okla.), Rep. Rick Boucher (Va.), Rep. Bobby Bright (Ala.), Rep. Ben Chandler (Ky.), Rep. Travis Childers (Miss.), Rep. Artur Davis (Ala.), Rep. Lincoln Davis (Tenn.), Rep. Chet Edwards (Texas), Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (S.D.), Rep. Tim Holden (Pa.), Rep. Larry Kissell (N.C.), Rep. Frank Kratovil (Md.), Rep. Dan Lipinski (Ill.), Rep. Stephen Lynch (Mass.), Rep. Jim Marshall (Ga.), Rep. Jim Matheson (Utah), Rep. Mike McIntyre (N.C.), Rep. Mike McMahon (N.Y.), Rep. Charlie Melancon (La.), Rep. Walt Minnick (Idaho), Rep. Glenn Nye (Va.), Rep. Collin Peterson (Minn.), Rep. Mike Ross (Ark.), Rep. Heath Shuler (N.C.), Rep. Ike

Representatives of We The People being 'allowed' to vote their district....essentially do as their constituents want them to to...only because The Democrat Leadership says they can do so. Otherwise, they are being told to ignore their constituents to further a Liberal agenda.
The wishes of the majority of their constituents should trump any and all directives from the Dem leadership. What arrogant asses.
sensible liberals? because they voted no? I don’t think so. Nanny is just covering her a55. She told them all exactly how to vote so as to mitigate the repercussions.
Time to start learning that RATS have an agenda & nothing short of losing their office & their power will stop them!
Kratovil isn’t sensible he voted with Pelosi lock-step. He was given cover since his constituents are POed that he sold himself as a blue-dog but isn’t even close to being one. At a town hall somebody hung a dummy of him in effigy here in MD. He’s still toast IMO.
People here won’t forgive a republican for having glanced at a liberal position.
Democrats are not getting any points for pretending to be slightly less liberal than they really are.
If you know the democrat party then you know damn well these people were ALLOWED to vote no because they helped Pelosi take over Congress in the first place.
There is no way on Earth the party allows then to buck it otherwise just to save their own behinds. This is a party machine.
A traitor by any other name is still a traitor.
I’m not buying theater.
However, to give them the benefit of any doubt, hang them with new rope. (Oh sure, I mean political hanging, certainly not the real thing, of course not, by golly.)
Here is a list of how they voted now and back in November. Note the ones voting NO both times and the ones who had their armes twisted or fell for bribes.

Glenn Nye voted “NO”. Not my district but it was nice to see him vote what the people wanted.
The ones voted NO.. are afraid of Nov..<br.
The Blue Dogs are a RUSE.. maybe even a myth...
If it has a (D) behind its name, vote against it. They are all liars, even when they tell you that they voted against the measure. They are not American, they are nutless europeans.
“Sensible” dems my ass! Trying to save their own hydes so they can come back to vote for “Hate Crimes” bills, “Cap and Trade”, commie Supreme court justices, increases on unem. benefits, “Jobs” bills etc, etc.
Please don’t ever use the word “SENSIBLE” and dem in the same sentence! They don’t exist!
Don’t be fooled. They’re making one face in front of us, but another behind your back. EVERY Dim/Soc is high-fiveing this major chunk of liberty they just ripped out from under us.
A lot of them are in swing districts and may not be there next year.
I could not imagine Dan Boren from OK ever voting for that bill.
I agree. They were permitted to vote No to save their jobs. As long as they have a D after their names, they are not to be applauded. Remember they all voted for Obama and Pelosi as speaker.
A Pox on their house!
stupak was the only ‘sensible, I will fight until the very end for pro-life’ and *he* caved. Where were these guys?
They all would have done whatever Pelousy and their Obamamaster told them to do.
“call and thank them”
...I’ll call them to tell them to start packing! The only “thank you” they’ll get is after they close the door behind their sorry asses!
Defeat them in November. I don’t care how they voted. They all have “D”’s behind their names.
Pretty much.
Apart from the “nutless Europeans” bit.
There are plenty of nutless Africans amongst them too. :)
Bu essentially, if it's got a “D” behind it's name, take ‘em out.
