If Johnson and Scott, both of whom represent overwhelmingly Democrat black-majority districts in the Atlanta suburbs, are feeling the heat for voting YEA on ObamaCare, imagine what GA Democrats from marginal or GOP-leaning districts must be feeling (I’m talking about Marshall, Barrow and Bishop).

If we could get black conservative Republicans to run against Barrow and Bishop in those 45%-49% black districts in which President Bush managed to get between 48%-50% of the vote in 2004, we could pick up those seats and make an ever bigger change in the GOP’s political future than Scott Brown ever could accomplish.

“Political whores” is right. They change with the wind...kind a like a Nebraska wind... What kind of values do they really have if they can sell a vote!

They’re just trying to cover their asses. Their jobs are more important to them than the welfare of their country — RATS and RINOs alike.

A very true statement!

They’re trying to weasel out of it - DON’T LET THEM. If they voted once for Obama care, they are guilty and should suffer reprisals.

To me, it’s kind of like your spouse cheating on you. You may forgive them, but the trust is gone forever.

David Scott seems very upset that a lowly constituent in his district would dare ask him his position on healthcare.

What an elitist prick.

Vote him out.

It is amazing that these Dems like jackasses have to be smacked with a political 2x4 before understanding what direction they should go.

Yeah, would we be seeing this CYA stuff if Coakley had won? Of course not.

All a sudden, they’re all concerned that everything is going too fast, yet they saw the unrest at the town meetings; they saw 9/12, they’ve seen the polls showing voters disapprove of the Dems agenda by over a 2 to 1 margin. It’s all been as plain as day.

Yet, today, the day after Dems lose their filibuster proof majority, they ALL OF A SUDDEN, get it. Why didn’t they get it in August, why not all fall, why not yesterday? It’s so phony, it’s laughable.

Jim Marshall is my rep. He voted against the Health Care bill and tends to be fiscally conservative. I have voted for him before, but we will have to see this next time. Last count, there are 5 Republicans that are going to take him on.

Marshall escaped in 2006 and 2008 only because they were such good years for Democrats (and 2008 saw such high black turnout). His district, as redrawn mid-decade, is too Republican even for a 100% pro-life Democrat that tends to cast “fiscally responsible” votes (yet his overall voting record is much, much closer to that of a liberal Democrat than a conservative Republican). I’m confident that GOP primary voters in your district wil select a solid conservative that will beat Marshall.
