Dede would have voted for the bill herself, so she’s probably happy.

At least with Owen it’s not a “bipartisan” vote. If DeDe had won, Pelosi would be crowing about her “bi-partisan” bill.

It’s pretty simple, really. The Dem party bosses know he’s a 1 term congress critter so he’ll vote hard left as long as he’s in office.

Thank the GOP for running a slightly less liberal candidate.

According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the public option had no place in the health care reform bill. Contrary to that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor of the bill even though it now contains a public option.

"With them the end justifies the means always."

Absolutely. Commies lie to capitalists the same way jihadists lie to infidels.

Not dumb. They don’t care. As long as they win they don’t care how it’s done. There is no right and wrong to them. Lying is a means to an end. That’s all.

Have they certified the vote in New York already, I didn’t think they wouldn’t be done counting for a few days. Did John Garamendi get seated as well.

Owens took a whole lot of DNC Money so now he has to play by Nancy’s rules or sit on the bench his whole congressional career!

Yes, the GOP screwed this up royally, but ultimately the voters are responsible for electing this scumbag.

When he raised his right hand to be sworn in, he only had his middle finger extended upward.

This was a rat scam from the git-go and the pubs fell right into the trap. But being the half-witted fools they are, that’s no surprise. Still, the voter was the final line of defense, and that turned out to be nothing that a few well-chosen lies couldn’t handle. Owens knew he wouldn’t be re-elected next year anyway. The rats just wanted to borrow the seat long enough to get another vote for zero’s agenda. I believe this was a Rahmbo scheme from the start. I wonder if the congressman who abandoned that seat to became secretary of the army is happy with himself. I wonder how long he’ll be in the job. When will zero fire him?

I’m reminded of the frog and scorpion fable:

The scorpion asks the frog to carry him on his back across a river. The frog said, “No, you’ll sting me and I’ll die.” The scorpion said, “No, I won’t.” The frog asked, “Why should I believe you? You’re a scorpion.” The scorpion replied, “You should believe I won’t sting you because I, too, would die.” So that seemed rational to the frog and he agreed, telling the scorpion to jump aboard. When they got to the middle of the river, the scorpion stung the frog and they both began to die. The frog asked the scorpion, “But why did you sting me? I was helping you. Now we both are dying. Why did you do this?” The scorpion replied, “Because it is my nature.”

Correction to the ending of fable above:

The scorpion replied, “Because it is my nature, and you knew that when you took up with me.”
