Let’s see. John Boccieri (D-OH) opposed the initial House bill on ObamaCare, supposedly because of his principles. Now he’s flipping to a yes vote, and why? He is one of four Democrats to switch from no to yes in the past few days as Obama and Democratic leaders try to corral enough votes for the legislation. A vote is expected on Sunday. Boccieri has been pressured on the issue. Labor unions and other groups backing health care reform ran ads in his district. So why did he oppose it in the first place? It looks as though Boccieri got a pass from Nancy Pelosi the first time around to protect his election prospects this fall. The 16th CD in Ohio elected him in 2008 as its first Democratic Representative since 1951. In a year when Ohio went to Barack Obama, John McCain won this district, 50/48.

he still has his vote and can use it for a no unless he is a sellout
WHAT A FOOL.
He will destroy America and his own career both.
Goodbye Boccieri, hope you’ve enjoyed your short term in Congress. Happy retirement!
This is why the outcome is preordained.
Even if they have to flip solid no Democratic votes, they will. Ask a smart vote counter like Delay and he will tell you the same.
Still making it as difficult and miserable on them as is possible is a very good strategy. Getting HCR through has been a disasterous process for The Kenyan and his socialist cronies.
If you believe ANY Democrat is willing to fall on a sword to stop this bill, I have a bridge to sell you. They already know exactly how many and who. The rest of this is a kabooki theatre media shell game.
I agree with you totally.
THey have the votes.
The meetings behind closed doors were to define who would be required to fall on their swords, who couldn;t because of their district composition, and what those who fell on their swrods would receive from the Obamameister in return for that suicidal vote.
Ohioans need to take this commie sympathizer down in November.
Get used to it.
Exactly
Bwahahahahaha. On Monday, Rahm will say "You are dead to me."
Nope. Deemocrats.
Communists.
Doesn’t mean you have to make the rest of the way easy for them. Make them bleed for every inch!

And, Congressman, having sold your country into slavery, what now? Where can you go, where will you live, where will you work, that will allow you to escape what you have done. Look around you. Wherever you are, in the people around you there will be many who now revile you, who look on you as a traitor. In every crowd, more than half the eyes on you will hate you, will remember your treachery, will burn into you with their loathing of your craven sell-out — and will never let you forget.
Just imagine what they'll jam up our rectums next
The "Cap & Trade" universal energy tax. You just know that's next.
Folks, it might be time to start considering which states might defy these unConstitutional acts of tyranny. This might be the last recourse to salvage at least part of our country - there is simply no stopping this malignant cancer in DC.
It’s a done deal....On Monday, you’ll read that Socialized Medicine has passed, as the Democrats have known all along. Just a matter of how much more they can take and re-distribute with their POWER to take over and destroy mean ol’ capitalism for good!
Get used to it? If they pass this thing on Sunday are you just going to sit back and do nothing about it? Where are the brave patriots? This pisses me off, I’m a Canadian and I’m willing to do more than most Americans I see because I know what socialism/communism does to a country, I don’t live in a free country, and I want to have that option someday and the US is about the only choice. If it falls, everything is lost, I don’t accept defeatism.
