This is a waste of time. Almost all of these dems are libs and vote with Pelosi 100% of the time.

Giffords????? lol - hahahah what a joke - the “horseface” - as we call her in AZ - is a Pelosi worshipper - she has voted for all of the Tarps, bailouts, Hate Crimes, etc......

We need to spend our time trying to influence our local representitives for the conflict that is coming - wasting our time at the federal level is a joke - they are bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs, which is the real govt.

Ok - so howd the TARP 1 vote work out?
or bailout bill?
Hate Crimes legislation?

You are naive to think that these aholes give a rats as& about what you think. They vote any way they want and the idiots of this nation put them right back in power. I should do some research? Haha - next time before you use some list of “supposed blue dogs” why dont you do some research to see their voting record.

FYI, we’re talking about “Obamacare” not TARP...shezzzzzzzzzzz...

Try reading the thread before you “break wind!” LOL

As reported at nasqaq, in part:

“By Martin Vaughan, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

“WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- U.S. Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., a leader of fiscally conservative House Democrats, said Wednesday a House plan to overhaul the U.S. health-care system is losing support and will be stuck in committee without changes.

“Last time I checked, it takes seven Democrats to stop a bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee,” Ross told reporters after a House vote. “We had seven against it last Friday; we have 10 today.”

“Three House committees are slated to begin considering the $1 trillion-plus bill this week, but the Energy and Commerce looms as the biggest challenge. That’s because it counts among its 36 Democratic members seven members of the Blue Dog Coalition, a fiscally conservative bloc that is opposing the House Democrats’ effort.

“Ross said the bill, introduced Wednesday by House Democratic leaders, doesn’t include provisions adequate to curb rising health care costs, including what the government spends on healthcare.

“The current bill would have to be substantially amended before we could consider supporting it,” Ross said.

“Ross said Blue Dogs have been meeting every day to craft amendments that will be offered during that meeting, but offered no details on what those amendments are. He said those amendments could number in the dozens.

“Ross said he expects Blue Dogs will meet with the panel’s chairman, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., soon to discuss their specific proposed changes.”

Will the south rise again, in time to save America from terminal liberalism?

Pray for it with all the fervor you can muster! And take a blue dog Democrat to lunch!

I have called Bobby Bright and Parker Griffith’s #’s several times. Bright’s office said he is voting against this, Griffith’s was non-committal. I will keep calling him until I get a no answer.

Alabama freepers add Artur Davis’ # to this and call him. He is considering a run for governor and this would be the time to use this against him... He voted no on Cap and Trade and he knows this health care is unpopular in Alabama, but he needs reminding. :)

I hadn’t seen this before so I really appreciate it. I had 15 names from the Energy and Commerce Committee that I called yesterday. Friends and I split up lists to call, call, call. This gives us more ammunition.

The loudest voices here would do well to do the same. They are the ones who believe doing nothing and complaining is more productive than pitching in. Our voices have been heard in the past and they will be heard now as evidenced by falling numbers.

Do these people really believe with an election next year, some of these representatives want to serve their 2 years and then go home? Not on your life. More and more congressmen/women are meeting opposition when they return home for townhall meetings with their constituents. People are waking up. Join and encourage them.

I know you mean well, Kelly, but the overwhelming majority of these reps made a big deal out of their reluctance to vote Yea so they could extort leadership for more of what they need to get re-elected in their district.

That’s all this was, for all but a very few of them.
