They were probably told by Nancy Pelosi to do this to protect themselves in the next election.

Exactly, Minnick of Idaho would be toast if he signed on to this.

I’m all for doing this. The wrong person doing the right thing still gets the right thing done.

These guys will also oppose any attempts to strip gun rights, plus about 47 more Democrats, by my count. That is enough to defeat it, but it would be close.

They voted for Pelosi for speaker. They are Pelosi poodles, as useless as a rotting tree stump.

Thank them if you want for voting right on this, but realize you are suckers if you think they did it for you or for the principle. They are voting to preserve their own skin and the liberal Democrat majority in Congress.

Of course, I knew my email, fax, and phone call would have zero impact on my liberal representative (Vic Snyder). His voting record is 99.5% with his liberal cronies in Washington - even when the issue is extremely unpopular here in his home state. Yet he is still in office... Stupid voters.

I called Rep. Boyd(Fl) even though he is not my Rep. and thanked the polite young man that answered the phone.

Thank you for your suggestion. Called each one on the list and thanked them. Couldn’t get through to Bright. Office was closed and mail box was full.

I graduated from a university in Colin Peterson's district. Though he is a too liberal for my tastes, the man still has genuinely decent character. He may have been the first Democrat to tell Al Gore to give up on his Florida recount fiasco in 2000.

Those of us fortunate enough to have Republican representation should call them as well.

He was very polite. Usually they act they they just want you off the phone. Rep. Boyd also voted against the bailouts.

I don’t why or what motivations these Democrats have, but I’ll take it at face value, we need all the boots on the ground we can get. All I can say is that it took them great courage to stand up to Mama Pelosi and “the chosen one.”

Are you so naive that you think any congresscritter does anything for their constituents or principle?

None of them do. They all choose everything based on politics.

Thus, I want the ones who do right by my principles are reassured that they did the right political thing.

~ Thank some Republicans too. ~

.

Who said Republicans were a bunch of spineless, unprincipled ninnies? Tonight’s news that every single House Republican voted NAY on the Democrats’ Generational Theft Act of 2009 is already breathing new life into conservatism. Notwithstanding tales of Republicans fighting for pictures of themselves yukking it up with President Obama, the congressional GOP — finally free from President Bush — is no longer apologizing for its conservatism.

Even better: Republicans are also rediscovering that conservatism can and should be fun. Rep. John Carter, a Republican from Texas, has introduced a bill that would create the “Rangel Rule.” Advancing the idea that everyone deserves equal under the law, Carter’s bill stipulates that anyone paying overdue taxes can write “Rangel Rule” across his/her returns and the IRS would be forbidden from charging fees or penalties.

House Republicans said their counter stimulus bill would create twice as many jobs at half the cost. Whose numbers did they rely on? None other than President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers’ Chairwoman. (Clearly, a right-wing nutjob!)

Here’s hoping Senate Republicans follow in-kind. Perhaps one might even have the audacity to filibuster.

Polls may show Obama to be the cat’s pajamas, but that doesn’t mean his policies make sense. Committing America to a trillion dollars in new debt is a path not to prosperity, but to poverty. Senate Republicans need to embrace their conservative principles now more than ever.

You are naive to think all politicians are alike and they all lack principle equally. Look at Sen Coburn or Rep Broun.

lack principle equally

Did not say that. Did not say that at all.

But they do everything with an eye on the politics. Not equally, but everything is based on the politics of it.
