Another RINO in a heavily Democratic district covering his glutes. It doesn't take much to impress you, does it?

Check out this article:

http://www.skeeterbitesreport.com/2009/11/letter-from-editor-gop-will-make-huge.html

If the GOP's Right Wing Goes After the Party's Lone Asian-American Congressman -- a Vietnamese Immigrant Who Represents a Predominantly African-American (and Democratic) District -- Over His Vote in Favor of Democrats' Health-Care Reform Bill, It Will Risk Further Solidifying the GOP's Image as a Lily-White, Xenophobic Party That Is Hostile Toward Blacks, Latinos, Asians and Native Americans

Interesting story - A few weeks ago, I was having a conversation with an old friend from Chapel Hill via videochat (amazing invention ...) and the question of "Why would you guys just want to uproot yourselves and endure the chaos of moving to Europe at your age?" came up.

I sent the friend to GoLo to read the commentary in way of explanation.

"Democracy is about representation. The representation that these folks have given, when 80% of the State says NO to Government mandated Health Care, then they vote NO."

The above is a post from a member of golo's right wing on a different blog (yesterday) about this subject.

"A congressman who actually listens to the people he represents and votes according to their wishes."

In other words instead of doing what he feels is right in his heart and mind, he votes in manner that allows him to keep his job and all the perks. Yes, he's a real stand up guy.

So, today, another right winger is mocking a representative for not voting against the wishes of his constituents.

So I guess you're saying that if you're in a Republican district you should vote the way your constituents want, but if you are in a Democratic district, you should ignore your constituents. How convenient for Republicans.

The rejection of this bill was FAR more bipartisan than the approval. With such an overwhelming numerical advantage for the Dems, they barely got this piece of junk passed.

And it would not have passed were it not for the abortion amendment..which some dems already are calling to be pulled out in conference if this junk passes the Senate

I watched the voting. This non-backbone republican, waited until there were 218 yes votes, before he voted. I hope he gets a lot of milage out of his vote. Politics as usual.

I'm sure this had nothing to do with his desires to keep his position, come election time. NOT!

"Oldest profession in the world"... Politics is a very close second.

He is a hero to stand up to the bullies in the Republican party. He will feel the back-lash from them, not his constituents. More Re-thug-licans should follow his lead if they expect to get re-elected, but we all know this isn't about the real issues anyway, but because they hate Obama. Get over it, huh? Times are changing, this isn't Mayberry anymore...
