He voted the wishes of his constituents, not his party leaaders. Have we not been b*tching since last summer about the Congressmen who don’t vote the way their constituents want as opposed to the Dem leadership ?

His vote was un-American....and.... he voted for an unconstituional mandate that all Americans must carry health insurance or face fines/jail time.

If his constituents wanted him to vote that all red-heads get kicked out of the country, would that be explainable as standing up for his constituents? Of course not.

All 220 of the rep's that voted for this bill should face pain in 2010 for their choice for the rest of us. He can face a bit of backlash from Repub. leadership now for his choice. The local GOP should find a better candidate in the upcoming primary. Most likely no GOP candidate will win this district. But he sold out his vote to keep his job. He should learn the price was too high to get any help from the GOP.

Not a thing wrong with this guy.

Here’s why:

Focus in on Louisiana 2nd. Obama won it.

75-23.

How could you expect this Congressman to take a knife and backstab his own district by voting any other way? The GOP is lucky to have his vote for Speaker. Very lucky.
