| David Cao(R. Louisiana) tells Micheal Steel to Bring it On! Now that's what I'm talking about. A real republican who stands up for his people and doesn't back down. Cao is the kind of representative I wish I had instead of the representative I have. Cao told CNN that Steele retains "the right to come after those members who do not conform to party lines, but I would hope that he would work with us in order to adjust to the needs of the district and to hold a seat that the Republican party would need." He represents the second congressional district of Louisiana, a solidly Democratic district that includes New Orleans. Cao said earlier today that he put the needs of his district over what was popular with his own party.
I'm happy the health care reform act passed but I'm dissappointed too. I'm disaapointed the entire Alabama delegation didn't vote in favor of the health care reform bill, but voted in favor of keeping poor women from having a safe and legal abortion. I'm dissappointed there are those who are attempting to defend the indefensable. *Sigh* I'm disappointed in so many things, more than I can enumerate here. Someday I hope some of those things that I've listed above will no longer exist and my disappointments will be fewer. Then again, I have always been an idealist and a dreamer.
If the real democrats don't push back against the Stoopid Pac, Democratic women will revolt. h/t Ministry of Truth. The easiest way for Democrtas to LOSE elections is to not use the power given to them by their voters to enact policies that they run on. Let every Democrat in Congress beware on Stupak-Pitts, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
