1. Loretta Sanchez?

[tinrobot]

11. Apparently so...

What's up with that?

[MadBadger]

17. Maybe she didnt get her Obama face time again.

[CitizenLeft]

20. really... this is surprising, but maybe not. I live in OH...

Anybody here from her district?

[peacebird]

2. So - they were not able to stop it, right? and now we know who to work on unseating next election!

b*stards. I will donate to any progressives who run against them.

[vaberella]

3. K/R/Bookmarked so I can get them out of office. n/t

[BlueIdaho]

4. That piece of shit cowardly turncoat Walt Minnick is from my state.

I think I'll go throw brick through his local office window. What a total piece of crap.

[AzDar]

5. Targets.

:grr:

[Phx_Dem]

6. It was 26 Dems voting no, so this is an improvement. And Sanchez

you're a huge asshole.

[Cha]

15. What is her problem? Is she from a brainwashed District

in Calif?

[Phx_Dem]

22. She reps Orange County, which is conservative, but it isn't

wingnutville. She acts like it is though.

[Cha]

23. Ah, she's scared for her job if she helps

people.

Wonder if PO took Orange County in 2008? She needs to hear from her constituents who do want Health Reform.

[Phx_Dem]

24. She's conservative like Diane FuckingFieinstein. For a liberal state,

California really knows how to pick 'em.

[Froward69]

16. Let the republicans do that

YOU work to point it out to your friends and neighbors. Remove the POS from the house.

[Phx_Dem]

21. I don't work to remove people who aren't representing my district.

That's up to their constituents. I'd much rather those people vote for a conservative Dem than any Republican.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

7. Melancon (D-La.)

Sorry - I will vote for Melancon. He will be running for Senator against my beloved David Vitter (Sorry - here in Louisiana we have to vote for the lesser of two evils):mad:

[bluestateguy]

8. He'll lose

The teabagger knuckledraggers have already made their choice, and it's not Charlie Melancon. If he thinks voting against this bill will win him votes from the teabagger/racist/Beck crowd, then he is just naive and stupid.

He is also too much of a coward to "go there" and mention Vitter's adultery and lack of character.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

9. Agree 100%

:puke:

[K8-EEE]

10. I wonder how much $$ the health insurers invested in them? n/t

[AlinPA]

12. Altmire is from PA, near Pittsburgh. Note he is a former exec. for UPMC, the huge hospital

center in Pittsburgh and surrounding area.

13. Pardon my ignorance, "proceed" = ? This is the bill the Senate will have to reconcile with?

And another question to enlighten my ignorance: Is reconciliation limited to Budgetary issues, i.e. it isn't debate on similarities and differences amongst the specific proposals themselves, like they do in the two chambers, but only what in a given House bill and what in a given Senate bill can/will receive appropriations?

[jefferson_dem]

18. This was a vote to agree with the Rule - regarding the health care bill.

Generally, those who support the rule will also support final passage. There are ALWAYS exceptions, of course.

The reconciliation process is restricted to budget-deficit related legislation. But that only applies to the Senate.

[patrice]

19. Tks!

:hi:

[geek tragedy]

14. I hope they're the first 15 we lose in 2010.

Melancon is going to get his ass kicked by Diaper Davy.
