| 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.

| 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.

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:

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.

| 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?

| 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.
