Including the only MD in the House, Denton County’s Dr. Michael Burgess.

Lets not be to harsh on the ones voting yes. We need to keep our seats and add to them next year.

Exactly, they probably disagree with the bill, but party leadership gave them the OK to vote for it so they can go back home and tell their constituents "See, I tried to get you free stuff with other people's money, but the other mean people wouldn't let me."

I am sorry to see my increasingly RINO Congressman LaTourette among the Yeas.

[wku man]

Mike Simpson, RINO-ID, was one of the yeas. Time for eastern Idaho to run someone against him in the prmary.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Let’s apply a little Democrat-Style hyperbole to this, shall we??

Democrats Posture While Poor Children DIE!

WHY???

Bush offered, they COULD have covered the Non-Illegal Alien poor...

WHY DO THEY WANT POOR KIDS TO DIE???

[MNJohnnie]

Running scared of the Drive By Media. Cannot hardly blame them. When all they hear is hate shouted at them from both the Leftist Noise machine and the "Conservative" media day in and day out, a lot of these guys go into turtle mode. They figured:

"Heck, they are going to be mad at me no matter what I do, might as well not buy the campaign headache this vote will get me"

Sad and shameful but all too human.

Another victory for Nancy - ahh wait a minute, has Nancy had any victories other than the minimum wage. If I recall the Dems could have had that victory before the elections. Wow, what is her batting average now?

Leadership and pawn are deeply saddened

[massgopguy]

Congratulations to The Widah Taxongas for getting her first ass-kicking. One day, one failure. What a record.

No increases in health care entitlements while some of us are still paying “double freight”—our own insurance premiums and the taxes to pay for everyone else’s health care.
Sing it loud!!!
Bears repeating!!!

Failed 273-156, 4 not voting. 99% of Democrats supporting, 78% of Republicans opposing.

[darkangel82]

LaToilette used to be my congressman too. But he’s the only known Republican in that district, so we have to put up with him.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Cannot hardly blame them.

I can d--n well blame them!!

If they can't stand the heat then let them get out of the kitchen!!!

Mrs. Tsongas...elected yesterday...voting for Communism today.

[Beagle8U]

House leadership will often tell those in contested districts to vote against the party majority ONCE they know for sure the vote is going to go their way.

[Uncle Miltie]

"SCHIP happens!"

No SCHIP, Sherlock!

[Baladas]

Hahahahaha, good news - any failure to make another permanent entitlement program is a not a real failure after all.

Why even Bush can make a difference - what they did with those kids was digusting.

[darkangel82]

Wow, what is her batting average now?

.100.

[lormand]

My Congresscritter, John Carter (31st, Texas) is rock solid. When his ACU ratings come out, it should be close to 100%.
