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!
Agree 100%- every one of them needs to walk the plank.
Wow....crazy liberal Dennis Kucinich and John Boccieri of Ohio voted NO....guess it wasn’t leftist enough!
Bye-bye blue dogs you bunch of toothless lapdogs. Your 15 minutes is just about up....
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.
US Representative Joseph Cao (R) from Louisiana's 2nd Congressional District.
I’d feel much better it the cartoon was a real pic...
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.
Well, he apparently saw the light and voted against Pelosicare. Still, Allen Boyd (2nd FL) is a whore and must go.
Lizard tail soup
Lizard tail soup?
These people are history.
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.
In all honesty, I would too.

Why that’s the World Famous William ‘Cold-Cash” Jefferson’s RINO replacement fron New Orleans.
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.
Steve Chabot, very pro-life, very conservative is running again.
