(I guess Pelosi was figuring out how to get these folks on board because we could only spare one of them)

(note some Dems, like Stupak voted "yes" but are not shown because either they aren't blue dogs or aren't in a McCain-voting district)

I mistakenly showed Boccieri, Massa, McMahon and Teague voting "yes" when they actually voted "no". Sorry!

We need to be sure to support them in 2010

Way to hang tough Tom...

Usually titled the "Bloody Eighth" because elections are so close. The previous Republican rep was J. Hostettler, a gun-crazed fanatic who tried to smuggle a handgun onto an airplane, and thought citizens should be entitled to own nuclear bombs. Baron Hill is a Blue Dog, but he's a damned sight better than any republican who would have been in the district.

so this vote is pretty admirable in my view.

the sob

and then turned around and voted no for the final bill.

i'm not giving him kudos for that, but just to set the record straight, he did follow through.

reprehensible.

it's not the list of all Dems of course.

i don't even know if Stupak's district (UP Michigan) is liberal or conservative. :shrug:

thanks for the info
:)

.... when he mentioed "even Joe McCain supports this .... well, not THIS bill .... but health care reform."

I salute them. :patriot:

thanks.

He insisted on Medicare rates for the public option, and also opposed individual mandates.

:(
he is my rep. I'm so disappointed in him....

:dunce:
