Daily Kos: House votes on killing Medicare today

<...>

At any rate, the Republican Medicare "reform" plan is going to hit a major roadblock on the other side of the Hill, called the Senate. The narrative is set for today's House vote by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's spokesman, Jon Summers:



Massive tax cuts for the wealthy, massive cuts to the rest of us. That's the Republican way.

1. Let's keep track of the Reps who vote for it.

Then we will know who needs to be replaced in 2012.

[Old Codger]

2. OK

I assume you mean representatives? Or are you referring to repugs? I think most likely that a majority of repugs will vote for it, they know it hasn't got a snowballs chance in hell so they can do as they please to keep the "base" (teaparty) idiots happy, I am most interested in seeing if any dems vote for it.

9. I mean repugs and any blue dogs.

Seriously, we have to start a grass roots movement in each state to replace every Repug in Congress. I think they can be replaced by Democrats if we are smart about it. Let's face it most people whether R or D are working class and want the same things. We have to convince them that no Repug is going to get them those things, or get them jobs and decent wages, no matter what they promise.

3. Well my useless piece of crap

congressman dana warbacher will vote to kill it. And the uninformed idiots will re-elect him in '12 cuz there is an 'R' behind his name.

8. If the Dems in your district are like the Dems in mine

they just put their tails between their legs and go home. We need to change this in districts like yours and mine. My rep is Kevin McCarthy and our local DNC doesn't even run a candidate against him most of the time. We need some grass roots organizing in each of those districts to get rid of the pubs once and for all.

4. +1 (but really, almost all of them should go!) nt

5. Ryan whines:

Ryan: Obama entered 'partisan mosh pit'

...I was expecting from actually speaking with some Democrats that it was going to be an olive branch speech, that we were going to see the president get engaged in the issue of our time, our fiscal crisis, offer some details and specifics. In particular, we thought he was going to offer some solutions on Social Security which I thought was going to be a concrete step in the right direction. And the impression we were given was that, you know, we had an agreement on the CR, hammered out agreement and we're going to build on that success going forward with debt limit in the budget and the rest.
