Who voted how on health care in the House
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
The New York Times has an interactive map of the House vote on health insurance reform yesterday. The lone Republican who voted yes, Anh Joseph Cao, from Louisiana, claims he "voted for life" last night. Among the right wingers on twitter, "traitor" seems to be one of the favorite attacks on Cao. But, that's not the ugliest thing they're saying. The reason Cao said he "voted for life" was because pro-choice Democrats were thrown under the bus by the Stupak amendment. 64 Democrats gave that win to the GOP. It's always the progressives ...

The lies begin with the name itself. The bill is titled: Affordable Health Care for America Act. In fact, the bill's primary purpose has absolutely to do with providing "affordable health care." The purpose is to extract as much money as possible from "ordinary" Americans -- and to do so at the point of a gun (what do you think those financial penalties and even possible prison time are, if not a gun pointing directly at your head?) -- and shovel it directly to already-engorged insurance companies. Americans will be forced to buy insurance, which as we all ...
Politically speaking, Schrader health vote makes sense

... been a team player, he can point to some lesser-known votes where he has departed from the leadership to satisfy his concerns about fiscal responsibility (such as his vote against giving federal employees paid parental leave). The 5th Congressional District may be the closest Oregon has to a swing district, but it's still not like Idaho, where the state's long Democratic congressman, Walt Minnick, has to vote like a Republican to survive. Not surprisingly, Minnick was one of the 39 Democrats voting no on Saturday. Oregon State Rep. Scott Bruun, R-West Linn, who is running ...

... They also ignore Kucinich most of the time because of the reproach he represents. Kucinich is what genuine opposition looks like. In a world where lies are the common currency, Kucinich speaks the truth. Even worse, he means what he says and he acts on it. Thus, he voted against this abomination of a ...
