Can't say for sure but backroom deals are made. He is in a heavily democratic district. Maybe the party let him vote for it knowing they wouldn't win even with his vote.
Whoever made that graphic is a loon, just like the pic.
Pucker up, I think it passed. :(
Now MSLSD can tout how this is a bi-partisan bill.
I don’t think there is any turning back now. I feel this is the last straw in breaking the back of our economy as we know it.
I blame the situation we’re in on both republicans and democrats. I blame the insurance industry and the pharmacutical industry. I blame Obama. I blame illegal aliens I even blame the allowing of advertising of meds on t.v. In the state of Maine our health care system is a mess. Six years ago it was cheaper to insure the whole family than it is to insure my husband and I now. We have so many people trying to get in Maine care which is free to low income people that they have a waiting list. If you become un-employed, which is happening to many, you can get Cobra which is equal to what you will get in un-employment checks. You end up spending all your money on health insurance.
Our kids, college grads are having a hard time finding good jobs. There rents are so high they can’t afford health insurance. They don’t get health insurance because they need to eat and pay their college loans. And then there is the debit cards which does not allow for any mistakes...or there is an overdraft. Which banks love...then the credit ratings go down..I could go on and on...
Bring me back to the horse and buggy days...
From The Weekly Standard:
"While conservatives may be heartened by Cao's victory, the congressman-elect calls himself a moderate and only became a Republican last year at the urging of Bryan Wagner, whom he describes as his "mentor.""
And for siding with Nasty Pelosi and her treasonous thugs we call you a RINO and a traitor, CAO!
Look, he was already a goner... he’s in a 75% black Dem district. They will vote for socialists - period.
“Ill drop my ins. coverage and they can send my ass to prison.”
my hubby just started a new job so we are between insurances right now....i thought about doing the same thing.
Did u see the Dem on fox today say no one was going to jail and that he would go in their place if it came down to it??
There’s absolutely NO excuse for voting for this POS. It’s called “PRINCIPLE,” and you NEVER compromise on your principles. NEVER!
And if the Party allowed him to vote YES, then we have even more work to do to clean house at the RNC. Steele should pay with his chairmanship if this was allowed!
Screw civil disobedience, if this passes against the will of the majority of Americans, those collectivist thieves in Congress that voted for it should be frog marched off the hill after being tar and feathered and told never to return. Every single one of us should just refuse to accept it, don’t pay them squat (we get raped enough as it is in taxes), and let all hell loose on any of them that try to knock on our doors. There is one POSTUS, one VP and 535 Congress critters against 100 million pissed off citizens. How do you see it panning out?
When are you people going to wake up? The GOP is useless. They pander for votes just like rats, and if the majority of or so called “fellow americans” want free cheese from the government, the GOP will be in line to provide it.
I just emailed him....and the Lord will have to forgive me for forgetting I was a Christian for about 18 seconds while I typed what needed to be said....he will know it’s a bogus email though when he sees the address I left as
whatthehellareyouthinking Blvd
New Orleans, LA
and my email as yousuck@Pelosikissass.com
Because it’s all we’ve got! And don’t EVEN start talking third-party because that is a non-starter!
They may take our lives but they will never take our FREEDOM! Alba Gu Bra!

As a Republican (nominally), he would lose the 2010 election anyway in that God-forsaken place. I suppose the idiot thought this vote might save him with his imbecilic constituents, 80% of whom are on the dole.
He’s a fool. The first black who runs would defeat him.
No, I didn’t. But thanks for giving me a sliver of hope. But I’m not so sure a sliver is going to keep me afloat. I keep wanting to apologize to to the founders in my dreams. How in the world did this happen? Stupid as I am, I thought Reagan saved us from this idiocy, but in my slumber it came back riding a freaking Pelosi, and I can remember when a Pelosi was something I had never even heard of!
Honestly, since the military is about 70% conservative, so far, I have hope that in the worst case, they still fail. That’s why I’m ambivalent about passage of that manifesto health bill. They are pressing the issue way to fast, I hope. But I still fear.
No, a dumbass Viet from La. that took Jefferson’s seat and had a spaso thought, played by Pelosi, that a for vote would save him...you toast Cao, AMF, and no thanks for your vote. What is PUTZ in Vietnamese.
