Washington Examiner ^ | 10-4-2013 | ASHE SCHOW

Fifty-seven House Democrats have broken ranks with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer to vote with Republicans to fund parts of the government like veterans programs, national parks and the National Institutes of Health.

Sixteen of those Democrats voted for all six targeted appropriations bills, introduced at the behest of House Speaker John Boehner, including measures to fund the National Guard and Reserve, NIH, national parks, the District of Columbia and two separate votes for veterans programs. (The House of Representatives voted twice to restore funding for veterans programs, once Oct. 1 and a second time Oct. 3.)

Of those 16 Democrats, 10 face tough re-election campaigns in 2014:

I'll be.

Our RAT Congresscritter in Nashville, Jim Cooper, was one of the 57 who broke ranks. I also heard he was going to donate his salary during Shutdownalypse.

He must be scared about 2014, even though the Pubbies gerrymandered to make his district safe (a pox on both their houses).

It’s really rather perfect, because the people who would support this aren’t getting the one thing they care about, and those of us who understand principle and the bigger picture already know the truth.

Eh, lipstick on a pig when you dis our beloved WWII vets.

He has no idea, having grown up in Indonesia, the love, devotion and protection we feel towards our vets and especially our paternal vets, those of WWII.

No clue.

And he doesn’t know how we communicate. He has control of the MSM. He even has his NSA spying on 3 billion or trillion or however many phone calls and posts.

How can we still be of the mind of preserving our nation when we should be so afraid of his scolding? and so immune to the ‘charismatic’ reading of the teleprompter?

When will everyone learn that truth no longer matters. Americans are stupid. It is over.

Explains why we haven’t seen any polling numbers for Dems in fulnarable Senate or House seats.

That’s a good point. I think their expecations were that freebies would abound; the goobermint is going to take care of my every need. But reality is setting in. They got sticker shock and are now having second thoughts.

The 16 are the ones who voted for all of the individual bills.

I agree. They are, again, the symbol of the defiance against this power grab. In all sincerity, I fear the day when they’re gone. We don’t seem to know how to step up like they do. They’ve seen worse tyranny than this and survived worse, up to the risk of life and limb. They stepped up to it. We can’t even leave our comfort zones. They had no assurance of jobs to come back to either when they left for Europe or the Pacific or Africa.
