Thanks for pointing that out for those who thought it was a “close” vote. All three branches of our government are now riddled with Marxism/Socialism/Progressivism (yes, Republicans included).

Joseph Cao. Based on the demographics and political makeup of his district...he probably did it to save his ass.

That’s what is so frustrating to me. That there are still many here who obviously do NOT get it.

Zero intends to legalize the 40+ million illegal Mexican immigrants probably next year...just in time for the 2010 election. That means we will NEVER EVER win another election in this country. Even if he’s not able to get it done in time for the 2010 election, he’ll have two more years to get it rammed through before the next Presidential election, which we’ll have NO WAY of winning.

We need everyone on board with the facts and what is actually happening to our freedom and our very lives (under Obama Deathcare). We need everyone to understand that the ‘enemy within’ is out of the closet and in our faces with their arrogance and their zeal in destroying the country in order to take COMPLETE CONTROL ala Chavez and other commies style. Zero just recently said that they are just gettin started and he wasn’t kidding.

Puhleeze, people.....WAKE UP!

Basically you have about 50% of the country working to support the other 50% as immigration increases then it will increase to less workers.

"Basically you have about 50% of the country working to support the other 50% as immigration increases then it will increase to less workers."

I wonder how the commies think they're going to get paid their rather generous salaries with the 50% (the half that's against them) put in prison for not paying for their mandatory healthcare bs. Or, maybe they plan to put us to work (slave labor) inside the prisons. They may already have a deal in the works with China for manufacturing 'cheap labor' right here in the states.

That, plus the major portion of stimulus money that hasn't been spent yet might be their 'safety net' to draw on when we are all behind bars. They'll still get their salaries and it'll still be OUR MONEY paying for it.

Either way, they intend to continue to loot the nation and to further enslave taxpayers. That means us, btw.

“We need the people who lost their jobs to protest.”

And those who will be losing their jobs.

We are about to lose some of the best doctors in the world if this passes the Senate. And when they resign to either do business overseas or just retire, everyone working with or for them will be out of work as well. Not to mention anyone working for the medical insurance companies.

Then there is the issue of medical equipment. Eventually, I’m sure all manufacturing of medical devices will be contracted out to China and India by this commie government. It’ll be real ‘fun’ having a medical device recall from China when the instrument has already been placed INSIDE your body by one of Obama’s hack surgeons.

Of course the Congresscritters will all be able to fly overseas for any really good treatment so they aren’t worried about the peons.

For an idea of how much worse it will be see this:

It will be medical practice the likes of King/Drew Medical Center.

“Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital (MLK-Harbor or King-Harbor), formerly known as Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center (King/Drew), is a public hospital in Willowbrook, an unincorporated section of Los Angeles County, California, north of the city of Compton and south of the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. The hospital shut down in August 2007, due to substandard conditions outlined over several years; there are plans to reopen it in some capacity, though a final plan has not been outlined. Currently only an outpatient clinic operates on the site.

MLK-Harbor is operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) and has 48 beds. In the 2000s, widely publicized problems related to incompetence and mismanagement caused the hospital to undergo a radical overhaul: bringing the number of beds down to 42 from 233.[1] Since 2004, 260 hospital staffers, including 41 doctors, had been fired or had resigned as a result of disciplinary proceedings. It currently has 1,400 employees. To alleviate the impact on the community of the large loss of capacity, The Los Angeles County Medical Alert Center (Felix: MAC) contracts ambulances take approximately 250 patients per month to other local hospitals. [1]”

“We need to have a Atlas Shrugged week where all of us stop going to work for a week. At least as many as can do it and I suspect there are enough people and bosses out there who would go along with it, that it would send one hellofa message.”

Sounds like a plan.

Joseph Cao. A PRO-LIFE REPUBLICAN who studied to become a priest. He was the LONE congressional Republican who voted YES to the bill.

This was the guy whose district is so corrupt that it kept voting in William Jefferson ( the guy who took close to $100,000 in bribes and stashed the cash in his fridge ) in as congressman until he was charged with the crime.

I’m really disappointed in Cao, yet, understand why he voted as he did. His constituents (mostly blacks, poor and unemployed) WANT the bill and would have kicked his sorry behind had he voted otherwise.

Well, not entirely. When you have 170/171 House Republicans vote against this, I don’t know how in the HELL you can accuse them of being “part” of anything. I thought it was a great act of political courage on their part, save Mr. Cao.

“All the more reason to throw Cao under it. Let him drown.”

Any takers that maybe Cao is thinking of switching parties by the next election?

No problem. Senate won’t pass it.

They’ll pass something - but what?
Time to start the mass firings in the House. VA and NJ are just the beginning.

We’ve not yet begun to fight.

Be on notice you remotely moderate RATs.

I wasn't taken the literal money nor Carpenter, I was likening the premise of subliminal idea connected to raving socialists now and those who had the glasses to truth are Freepers.

Like Red Dawn. I believe the 'premise' of the movie. Not the groups involved in the takeover of our country

What a terribly outrageous vote; so un-American. Pelosi and all her snakes

In the middle of the night - on the weekend. Typical - it’s how RATs are.

It was Joseph Cao from New Orleans. He’s not expected to have a prayer of re-election because his win was a fluke. It was a special election and the RATS forgot to show up.
+++++++++++++++

Nice - so in return he votes for socialism? CRAZINESS.
