The Democrat party must be punished for this intrusion on our freedom and assault on the constitution.

You have that right. Queen Nancy decides who gets of the hook to vote NO. They make no decisions on their. The witch is in command.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the House elections in Ohio with Zack Space (in the seat formerly held by Wilber Hayes and Bob Ney), and Charlie Wilson (in the seat held by current Governor Ted Strickland).

A recent tea party rally in St. Clairsville on election day drew at least 1,000 people. A cop told me it was 500; a friend of mine who was there (an ex-news cameraman) estimated there were 1,200 people there. IMO, there’s a lot of unhappiness with BHO in those districts — mostly due to cap n’ tax, which will kill the energy industries in the area.

Why? Is he on the take?

He may be representing interests of his district which is poor and majority Black.

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. |Related Article »

I would not call them Heroes. Pelosi may have given them permission to vote against the bill because they are in Republican Districts and may lose reelection in 2010.

If she didn't have the votes to pass the bill, she would have made as many of the as she needed to pass this Marxist bill.

I think all democrats should be voted out of office regardless of how they voted. None of them can be trusted.
