Nope.. not going to support Democrats at all this year.. The more Democrats we out, the more likely the GOP can take over and stop this crazyness from taking place..

This is just the beginning, cap/trade, illegal immigrants, all coming down the pipeline..

They were actually told to vote no. Why? - Once Dem leadership knew they had the 216 they believe they can save their seats come November. They rather them vote no and satisfy their constituants.

I don't think you necessarily have to support them with your vote in November. But a letter expressing your support for the decision is important.

Kucinich, Grayson and Weiner are three reps that I know of that will still be pushing for a Public Option. I get their newsletters and updates and they are still hoping that this bill is just the beginning.

No, you don't need to support them.

Did they vote for the initial House bill last year?

Did they vote for the motion to recommit on Sunday.

Were they "allowed" to vote no to try and save their a**es?

Besides, your list contains dems that voted "yes".

Support these Democrats?? Nope. No way. It will never happen. The housecleaning begins with this year's elections. And the fight won't be over, either, to stop us from being deceived and sucked under.
