Heath is in my district and it’s pretty conservative. He’s right on the gun issue and opposes the current health care bill (but will vote for one if he’s pressured). He voted against the stimulus bill but he voted for the cap and trade bill. So, kind of a mixed bag. This bill will go absolutely nowhere but looks good on his resume come re-election time. It’s nothing more than a smokescreen for his voters.
You are exactly right!
Cap and Trade is going to be Heath’s demise. When the effects of it hit his opponent will bludgeon him to death with it. Heath stunk as QB for Redskins and as a congressman too.
Thanks for the info.
If my two choices are either a "Blue Dog Democrat" or a RINO, I'll pick the RINO every time. There may be bills from time-to-time that the RINO will support that I can't stand, but the RINO will vote for Republicans (mostly conservative Republicans) in House and Senate leadership positions. Shuler voted for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker of the House. It's in the leadership positions that all the powers lays.
Your local GOP needs to find a Reagan Republican, preferably a younger articulate veteran to take this guy out and return it to the GOP.
Um Heath is my rep, he voted for cap n tax, this is a re-introduction of this act. He is a yellow bellied pelosi blue dog. Would not even arrange to speak with health care protesters. May be looking to run against the most horrid Perdue.
