Fifty-seven House Democrats have broken ranks with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer to vote with Republicans to fund parts of the government like veterans programs, national parks and the National Institutes of Health.
Sixteen of those Democrats voted for all six targeted appropriations bills, introduced at the behest of House Speaker John Boehner, including measures to fund the National Guard and Reserve, NIH, national parks, the District of Columbia and two separate votes for veterans programs. (The House of Representatives voted twice to restore funding for veterans programs, once Oct. 1 and a second time Oct. 3.)
Of those 16 Democrats, 10 face tough re-election campaigns in 2014:

Lean on those blue Senators that are in red states! There's nothing like the smell of a scared RAT in the morning, it smells like victory, LOL.

Combination of 57 different members between all of the separate bills. 16 voted for every single bill.

Yeah, but even the low-info trying to file for “free” health care can see that they’re not getting free, or even any healthcare. They can definitely see that.

They are losing the PR battle.
Obama should've been more concerned about looking a little more likable than the imperial minded douchebag he is.

It’s a civil war in the Dem party,,dissent in the ranks,,,a split (remember how the media highlighted disagreements in the GOP?)
We need to feed it right back to them!

This is just a CYA operation for the home folks. They know it won’t mean anything, and they can claim they are moderates. Pure political theater.
Of course. But now it is easy to portray this as the bi-partisan House vs. the autocratic Democrat run Senate. There are lots of Dem Senators up next year, and some of them are getting nervous. If one or two break, "Katie bar the door!" (Too bad Manchin was just elected.)

It’s looking hopeful. I got my eyes, fingers and toes crossed. On other matters...there goes that number 57 again.
