Joseph Cao. A PRO-LIFE REPUBLICAN who studied to become a priest. He was the LONE congressional Republican who voted YES to the bill.
Cao 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 officially 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.
That’s no excuse. The bill is a crap sandwich and Cao would know that. He goes too.
You have that right! Would bet that is what took is vote so long to be posted as leadership was waiting until they got 218 and then told him to vote for his welfare district.
Andre “vote for me because grandma held this district before she died” Carson will never be kicked out, this district is to black
SO....NO BACK BONE...OR WAS HE LOOKING FOR A CAREER “FOREVER”
A Republic intill 51% of the people..........
I agree with you but what is the good of having a Republican who votes like a Democrat? Did he get elected spouting the liberal line?
I was reading that here in Texas seven Democrats had switched to the Republican Party recently. Good, if they vote the conservative line. Bad, if they just jumped on the Anti-Obama backlash and still vote like a Democrat.
I think a lot of minorities would vote for a conservative who stuck to his guns and explained the issues well. Trying to straddle the fence to appeal to moderates is what gets Republicans defeated. Consultants like those who ran McCain's campaign are the bane of the Republican Party. They are Liberal moles.
