It would be appropriate to let him know how much we appreciate his vote. Not for the value of the vote, but because he gave the Dhims cover to say that it was "bipartisan."
HUH
Dede was a liberal not a republican, just because she had an R does not mean she would have voted against bozo.
the letters do not matter , ie.e 39 Dems voted against it, It is high time we forget the letters after names on election night and make the voters actually do some work and find out who they are really voting for
the same woman who was endorsed by the daily Kos, move on ACORN, working families
you mean that woman
give me a break, she was a liberal and would have switched letters anyway.
She had nothing in common with the GOP, NOTHING
“Actually Dede opposed the public option.
The blame of Ny23 rest solely on the third party candidate and those who backed him.”
Cao said: “Today, I obtained a commitment from President Obama that he and I will work together to address the critical health care issues of Louisiana including the FMAP crisis and community disaster loan forgiveness, as well as issues related to Charity and Methodist Hospitals. And, I call on my constituents to support me as I work with him on these issues.”
Forgiving of loans in exchange for his vote??
Geez, can’t wait to hear how much of our tax money goes to paying off these bribes!
Agreed! If I did doctors or hospitals I would have been one of them.
I am a little hesitant to put too much faith in SCOTUS after McCain-Feingold...
What little faith I had in SCOTUS evaporated on 1-20-09.
By 2010 ACORN and their newly organized sister groups will bastardize the election to the point of unrecognizable. 2010 will make '08 look like child's play.
My point was that going after Cao ... for voting on a bill his constituents want...
I understand and appreciate your point and theoretically agree. My point is and was, if it is unconstitutional, it IS unconstitutional, regardless of your constituency's wishes.
Thank you for posting this. When I lived and worked in CA, there were no more patriotic, hard working Americans than the Vietnamese. My heart goes out to them.
The Republican candidate opposed the public option.
Get a frickin clue and stop spreading lies.
She opposed the public option very clear.
Since you love spreading and lies you fight right in the daily Kos crowd.
Sold his Catholic soul to the devil (Pelosi/Obama) for nothing then, didn't he? Does he not know about the mandatory abortion provision in this bill....or did he vote for it just to keep his cushy job?
What a maggot!
Mrs. Prince of Space
Yup.
Now where's the screaming thread with phone numbers, dedicated to each and everyone of the of the Democrats from red districts who voted for this monstrosity.
Now that would be far more constructive.
Actually the official Republican nominee opposed the public option loud and clear during the campaign.
Palin endorsement of the third party candidate effectively sunk her campaign and delivered her seat to the democrats, a remarkable idiotic strategy.
I’ll be he is tied to ACORN’s investigation
Well laid down the crack pipe and post some logic for a change.
Anh Cao (VC, La)
Every vote made a difference.
Having a Republican opposing the public option would have made a difference when the votes were so close.
The tea parties etc dont mean much when you are hopelessly outnumbered in Congress and dont have much representation.
It’s POS like him why I left Louisiana.
The problem is, the majority of his welfare-thieving, moronic constituents should not be allowed to vote.
There was an article last Summer, and a thread on here, that Cao might vote for Obamacare. It should not have come as a surprise.
Why did he do it?
a) Look up a profile of his Congressional District. It’s basically the 8th Ward of New Orleans. Those folks who camped out at the Super Dome following Katrina are his constituents. They are poor, they are (mostly) African American and there’s one more government entitlement they want enacted (on your dime).
B) Cao’s vote was not cast until the Dems acheived their 218 needed to pass. I believe his vote was held in reserve, and would have voted with the R’s, if there was any chance some Blue Dogs might have changed their minds before the counting was done. At that point, the GOP leadership said ‘go ahead.’
The meaningless abortion amendment was used to guile the 8-10 pro life Dems to vote FOR the major bill. It gave them and Cao cover. Once Nancy had hammered out that deal, she had all the votes she needed. In retrospect, maybe ALL the R’s should have voted against the abortion amendment and let it fail, so the overarching bill would have failed. But Nancy wasn’t going to let that happen.
