The final 220-215 roll call vote on passage of the House Dems’ government health care takeover bill is here.
And here is the 240-194 roll call vote on the Stupak amendment to extend the ban on federal abortion subsidies to Obamacare/Pelosicare.
Thanks to Doug Powers for filling in while I spoke at the Foundation for Life event in Sugar Land, Texas tonight. What an incredible juxtaposition it was — meeting and talking with the true agents of Hope and Change, the true guardians of innocent life, and the true advocates for women and children outside the Beltway as the Democrat majority inside the Beltway rammed the massive, job-killing, high-taxing, bureaucracy-multiplying, generational debt-piling health care monstrosity down America’s throat.
One Republican voted for Pelosicare: GOP Rep. Anh (Joseph) Cao of Louisiana.
Yes, he’s the one who took over corruptocrat Democrat William Jefferson’s seat. I had reservations about him on election night because of his soft-on-immigration views. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt. If he could stand strong on limited government and fiscal conservatism, it would be worth it.
Well, since he was elected, Cao has backed the S-CHIP expansion, the $108 billion IMF bailout, and the omni-waste spending bill. And he voted to rebuke GOP Rep. Joe Wilson for calling out President Obama on his health care lies.
That is a steep price to pay for Rep. William Jefferson’s removal.
Can’t the GOP do better?
For what it is worth, here is the cheap price the Democrats paid for Cao’s vote:
Louisiana Congressman Anh “Joseph” Cao on Sunday morning released a statement after he voted as the only Republican in favor of the Democratic health care reform bill.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
I hope he enjoys the rest of this - his last term.
I hope he enjoys the rest of this - his last term.
So he got a "commitment" to help him steal form the rest of America to benefit the Takers in LA.
Great.
A worthless commitment from a congenital liar.
Huh? Have you forgotten where this guy is from? New Orleans. He just guaranteed his reelection.
I hope they recall him and bar him from the state. He is not fit to serve.
In fact, I most of them are not fit to wipe your boots on.
Odd how the Obama State media loves to repeat this story over and over but ignores that 38 Dems that voted against Pelosi death care ???
Don’t have a Cao, man.
“;^0
What I would like to think Cao will get is helping draw the final straw. I would like to think that Dem’s will loose their majority for ramming this crappy bill through congress.
He will pay, this cao asshole....he will get his
November 2010: Ciao, cao!
He will probably run as a RAT in 2010.
WE NEED TO MARCH ON GOP HEADQUARTERS AND TAKE BACK OUR PARTY
He’s a GOP sleeper....really a lib ...see what his connections with the Chicago Crowd have been..they’re there...
