House Democrats Who Voted Against the Health Care Bill

Lawmakers in the House voted 220 to 215 on Saturday night to approve a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s health care system. Only one Republican voted for the bill, and 39 Democrats opposed it, including 24 members of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition.

An overwhelming majority of the Democratic lawmakers who opposed the bill — 31 of the 39 — represent districts that were won by Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, in the 2008 presidential election, and a third of them were freshmen.

Nearly all of the fourteen freshmen Democrats who voted “no” represent districts that were previously Republican and are considered vulnerable in 2010. Geographically, 22 lawmakers from southern states formed the largest opposition bloc.

Below are details on the Democrats that opposed the health care legislation in the House.

We must not give any Dim an ounce of credit for voting no. This game of allowing certain people in certain districts to vote no is just a distraction. Trust me, they would have voted yes if they needed the votes to pass the bill. Bottom line, they all must go!

Well I’m amazed. Parker Griffin (Demonrat - AL) said he would vote against it and he did!

My Congress Critter Brian Baird voted No, but he is still a lying scumbag who needs to be forcibly removed from the public teat.

He is no Blue Dog, but he is a lying coward.

The leftists voted no to allow more blue dogs to escape the noose.
It doesn’t matter anyway for the blue dogs. Their most heinous vote was the one for Speaker Pelosi.

Yeah, my congress-clown votes with Stretch 95% of the time and voted for CapNTax. On Saturday morning I called his office and one of his staffers told me that he was undecided. I blew up.

Well, he apparently saw the light and voted against Pelosicare. Still, Allen Boyd (2nd FL) is a whore and must go.

Steve Driehaus of Ohio is supposedly a devout Catholic, yet voted for this bill that includes euthanasia (and will include abortion again once it reaches its final version). I will work TIRELESSLY to ensure that he is not reelected next year.

Please let us know this scumbag’s rival- whoever it is. We must take them all down, one at a time, and all at once.
