When she switched her vote, Congress cheered that they just inflicted the highest tax increase on the American people. Can you imagine what they’ll do knowing they got 1/6 of the economy and power over the people.

1) Vote no & oppose ZeroCare™

2) Vote no & oppose Cap on Trade

3) Vote no & oppose Card Check if it comes up

You can step around the tsunami that’s rising to oppose out-of-control government. With the perks of incumbency, and a well run campaign, you should be able to keep your job.

Or you can acquiese to ZeroCare™ et. al. and try to emerge victorious against the tidal wave. Good luck with that. Better start lining up a job for 2011 now if you’re gonna try that.

Remember - I said healthcare socialization was going to pass. I thought you were pretty sure it wouldn’t. Are you now saying that my theory about Congressional irrationality is correct?

I have to confess, this does not cause me to lose sleep at night. Congressional Democrat is another term for freedom-hating traitor to the Founding Fathers.

Why is anyone afraid of Pelosi? She isn’t the person that elects them. Why would you walk the plank for a woman who won’t leave her position until she dies because of her ultra safe seat? She can’t do anything to them except deny them some positions on a committee. She would be foolish to burn them, especially if she needs their votes down the road. I’d tell her to go to Hell. And then I’d switch parties.

I suggested to my Senator, Lincoln D-AR, that she switch.

that and the Wiki site. Figure his staff will want to hit “delete” upon seeing a “redstate” URL in the letter.

Chelsea Clinton is engaged to Marjorie’s son, so I guess it was worth it. Heh

…but if any Blue Dog votes with Pelosi in spite of the fact that they are at high risk of losing next year I think they will have been paid to take a fall. I wouldn’t be surprised if George Soros has made them all substantial financial offers. Keep an eye on their finances or post election spending changes. Nothing else could possibly explain voting for certain political death. Nothing.

Medicaid, medicare and social security. We wont. I could write a whole diary on this.

I must be stopped.

Remember the cap and tax bill? Members were hiding from her, only to be cornered before the vote. They were absolutely terrified of her.

I agree with DerKrieger, except I would go on FOX and state that I would not lie to the American people or my constituents by supporting this bill, and because of the pressure to do so, I would be changing parties as well as voting no. I’d also throw in the line that I wasn’t leaving the Democrat party, it left me.

I heart RR.

most of the “Blue Dogs” aren’t conservatives in any respect these days. When the group was first formed, many were, and many more were moderately conservative and strong on security issues. But those early classes ended up either switching parties, losing, or retiring.

Those claiming “Blue Dog” status now - and there are almost 100 of them in this Congress, which should tell you right away there’s nothing conservative involved - are liberals who don’t quite foam at the mouths representing conservative-leaning constituencies.

Given the history and reputation of “Blue Dogs” as conservative Democrats who were independent of the liberal party leadership, it’s a great label to be able to sport, especially when it doesn’t require any particular measure of conservative voting at all anymore.

So don’t be so anxious to invite these guys to switch, which would cede them the seat without cleansing their liberal ways.

My gut feeling is that the current class of “Blue Dogs” includes few heroes. Most of these will knuckle under to Comrade Nancy, if not for her reputation for ruthless vengeance then in awe of her truly frightening countenance, frozen for posterity in its most horrible contortion by leftist plastic surgeons. Those who don’t will only rebel after having arranged beforehand either safe passage to the other side of the aisle or witness protection.

The good news is that this means a good many of them will go down of their own weight in 2010. The bad news is they can do a lot of permanent damage between now and then.

is so excited to get to Washington to vote for the Pelosi healthcare bill. I saw an article today where he said his defeated opponent ran on the “TeaBagger” agenda and that what his district wanted was big government solutions. I hope we see the Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky effect here next fall.

Time to dust off Zell Miller. Fox News, Rush etc should track him down and interview him. He should have been invited to that Capitol yesterday.

Maybe you guy can Treack him down, dust him off and bring him back to Hero Status, America needs ZELL MILLER and his spitballs to cripple the EROSIONIST PARTY.

Bunch of cowards.

Any rep who can’t stand up to Pelosi and vote their principles, conscience and their constituents doesn’t deserve to be our rep.

But if they run and hide, and vote NO for this horrendous legislation that allows the State to claim it owns my body or forces me to pay tribute, then we may just keep them around a littl while longer.

I am not sure, but I think President Clinton appointed her to some government position until she ‘got back on her feet.’

I think votes should have consequences and long for the days when the electorate begins acting independently as in ‘94′ and not let ratings driven commentators on Fox and MSNBC influence them.

Perhaps New Jersey, Virginia and NY 23 are harbingers?

The is Job Security for the Erosionist Lieberal Party.

Just think about it:
Who will be the “experts” that will interpet this mounstrosity to “the masses”?
We will need 1000’s upon 1000’s of arbitrators and interpetrers who will not mend a wound or heal a soul. They will stay on for LIFE because no one else will undertsand what was “shovelled: together in the MedicalManure. Who will they be? The “experts” that wrote the bill. WHo is that? Mostly all Erosionist Lieberals that we will NEVER be able to get rid of without Picthforks and Torches.

KILL THE BILL before it KILLS ALL

Talking heads heads already say a health care bill is dead in the Senate this year, no matter how they toss out in conference.
Something’s not right, as why would a congressman hang his career on a bill to pass in the House when it’s already dead in the Senate?
Somebody’s wrong somewhere. Either the Senate sword has more steel in it than most allow, or, as we all hope, the big, and FINAL vote will be today. If it fails, look for Nancy to be nudged out.
Obama is already all-in. Nancy seems to want to go that way (her delusions of grandeur and grand dame exceed even Obama’s I think), Reid still quakes.
Like June 6, 1944 it is a day we can only watch, wait and pray.

If it passes, as suggested some time back on our Least Men Standing site, it may be time for the GOP to freeze them out, and begin singling out “switchers” in the Dems with the mark of Cain, the ice cold 1000 yard stare.
