Yes, I can see you have the facts at hand. I bet you would do great as a spokesman with lines like that. You could win the 'war' for us.
The 219-212 roll call Sunday by which the House passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
A “yes” vote is a vote to pass the bill.
Voting yes were 219 Democrats and 0 Republicans.
Voting no were 34 Democrats and 178 Republicans.

Yep, not one. Now that is purity.
You must get your facts from a couple of talk radio hosts. Republicans should get their lines from them.
Those votes are all a matter of public record. As SOL pointed out, it’s easy to check.
Personally, I was surprised as hell that the GOP actually stood in lock-step on it. I expected a couple of them to fold like cheap lawn chairs.
They didn’t, and we should let them know when they get it right.
As for “Blue Dog Democrats” - one wonders what their true motivation was for crossing “Her Psychosisness”. Are any of them even left in Congress now?
Living for 4+ decades in the reddest (in the Communist sense) state in the USA, I have a VERY concentrated hatred for Democrats. I often post that the best way to eliminate them is to dust off the playbook from the Third Reich and actually ELIMINATE them.
That said, trash like Snowe is just that, trash. I despise them almost as much as I do Democrats. But, if my only choices are a RINO that will give me 10% of what I want or a RAT that will give me 0%, I have to go with the RINO*. We are in survival mode here, people.
*Until the RINO can be replaced with an actual Republican, then f*** ‘em. Sort of like how the supposed “Blue Dog” RATs were useful for the rest of the RATs until they were replaced by full-on insane RATs. If you can’t adapt tactics in a war, you lose, period. We have room-to-room urban combat going on here; lining up, Civil War style, ain’t winning anything.
We’re one SCOTUS Justice away from becoming the USSR. I’ll take what I can get today and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
Voting no were 34 Democrats and 178 Republicans.
So what. A few Dems strayed. They didn’t go run to TV cameras for weeks on end and slam their party did they?
It’s instructive you ignore my point about Snowe because it doesn’t fit your agenda. Obamacare became law with the help of a progressive GOPer. Before we can repeal the Dem agenda we must have party willing to consistently engage them. That will never happen with the progressive GOP wing attacking conservative opposition from the rear while the Dems/MSM attack frontally.
