So will Pete Hoekstra change his “no” vote to a “yes” vote on the final bill? Will he help insure our veterans, something that the 2,200 who died last year didn’t have? [congress]H000676[/congress]

Rep. Phil Gingrey, MD voted against healthcare reform with a public option on Saturday and today he is:   I can’t think of a better way to thank a veteran today than supporting a bill to help ensure them having access to healthcare. Imagine if the 2,200 veterans that died last year from a lack […]

On Saturday Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen joined with all but one of her Republican colleagues in the House to vote no on healthcare. Since more than 2,200 veterans died last year from a lack of healthcare coverage, will Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen support a final bill with a public option? [congress]R000435[/congress]

Let’s see what the minority leader has to say today: Now let’s have a look at exactly what Boehner has said: “One generation of Americans after another has answered the call of duty without fail. These brave men and women call themselves veterans. We call them heroes. Today, we renew our commitment to repaying the […]

Third we have John Cornyn, a man who has constantly bashed a public option. Hey John – over 2,200 veterans died last year from a lack of health insurance. Will you help provide a strong public option that will help save the lives of those who served our nation? [congress]C001056[/congress]

Following up on my previous post, buried on the second page of the Politico article I mentioned is this little gem: But the new coins – concerns over which apparently stemmed from an email chain letter widely circulated among conservatives – were commissioned by the Republican-led Congress in 2005 and approved by President Bush. All […]

Just ask Michelle Malkin: The House is now in a rare Saturday session for the government health care takeover ram down. So a bill that will affect virtually every citizen of this country is a “ram down” because it is being voted on on a Saturday. What would that make a bill being voted on […]

Here is Rep. Todd Akin reciting the pledge today to the teabaggers in hopes of “driving liberals crazy”: Notice something missing? Akin forgot the word “indivisible”. I don’t know about you, but when I see a member of our Congress not knowing the Pledge of Allegiance, well it drives this liberal crazy. Great job Tea […]

So says the New York Times. Cesca does a good job at tearing this trash piece by the NYT down: Every Republican in Congress defends Rush Limbaugh and parrots Glenn Beck, and all of the really important Republicans from Chuck Grassley to Big John Cornyn have at one time or another engaged in the “death […]
