f you don’t mind, what are the numbers after the state abbreviation? Pomeroy is listed in Wiki but has an AL after instead of a number what does that mean? I am still learning I guess.

The number refers to the district they represent.

That means he’s voting yes, most likely. To even consider this bill as legitimate is BS. Therefore, anyone unwilling to say how they’ll vote means they’re going for it.

Stay on him.

How about the blue dogs put their foot down and demand NO government health care instead of trying to get a "fix" of the existing plan? We don't need any healthcare run by the government. Down with socialized medicine. keep the health care we have. Even if their inflated figures of people without insurance is true, and they are not, this could easily have been solved by simply buying all these people insurance from the stimulus package. That would be far cheaper than what they are planning now!

No, no , NO nationalized health care!!! Period!

Good. The more anger the better on this one.

There will be time for calm relaxation AFTER Obamacare is dead and gone.

That’s true!

Oh, that won’t happen. Of that you can be sure...the politburo, always gets the fine cigars, liquor, cheeses and doctors...

No, they plan to kill the rest of us, and particularly, our parents, grandparents and babies...

"I just read that. Do you know why they still call themselves Democrats?"

Interesting question.

Perhaps because they still see themselves on the side of "the little guy", rather than on the side of the big corporate giants that they identify with Republicans as genrally supporting.

I just thought it funny that the Blue Dog common ethic was "fiscal conservatism and accountability", which assumes that the rest of the Democratic Party DOESN'T support those values.

And now his numbers are tumbling, so is he thinking - I’m wasting my capital on nothing?

Oh how sweet that sounds...now if we can drive through to 2010 and reverse the other man-made disasters like crap and tax...

Bart Gordon (TN 6th), (202) 225-4231
Jane Harman (CA 36th), (202) 225-8220
Mike Ross (AR 4th), (202) 225-3772
Jim Matheson (UT 2nd), (202) 225-3011
Charlie Melancon (LA 3rd), (202) 225-4031
John Barrow (GA 12th), (202) 225-2823
Baron Hill (IN 9th), (202) 225-5315
Zach Space (OH 18th), (202) 225-6265

I saw that list and other than Jane Harman, who I can’t believe is in the “Blue Dog” category, and they all scream RE-ELECTION CONCERNS based on the states alone.

For the life of me I can’t figure out how on God’s green Earth Utah elected a Democratic representative. I thought that state was as red as red can be. Obviously Rep. Matheson realizes that it was a fluke he won and if he had to take this stinker home he’s done for.

Now, I really want to know... how many of us were 100% convinced that with a 60/40 split in the Senate and the majority the Rats have in the House that this bill would be as kaplooey as it apparently is?

All I can say is fortune is favoring the foolish. Our nation should be as lucky to have outside enemies as incompetent as its internal enemies.
