There has been a lot of discussion here about our Blue Dog Democratic Congressional members. One of the targets has been John Salazer who represents CD-3. John has been the only Democrat elected to a Congressional office in his district in a very long while. His district has a Cook PVI of R+5, and there was a lot of pressure from some of his donors and constituents for his "Nay". But, true...
As we noted before, 64 Democrats voted against women's right to health insurance funded abortion procedures . Many of these Democrats have claimed the ultimate fallacy: That proponents of forced pregnancy shouldn't "pay with their tax money" for abortions because it infringes on their civil liberties. As if anti-war activists and pacifists could claim the same when it comes to funding the...
A Courtesy to our Friends at KOS DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED TO SLAP WOMEN BACK TO THE STONE AGE ( HR # Bill: H R 3962 ) KOS diarist LaFeminista reflects the animus the Soros-left have after the passsage of the Stupak Amendment which, nominally, will keep Obamacare from funding abortion. In truth, a Medicare type supplement insurance will be available. Anyway, to help them out, and make retribution easier,...
In the dead of night, on a weekend, they passed a nightmare of a health care bill. Our Representative voted for the bill. About a month ago he said he would not support a bill with a public option (Daily Sentinel article 10/23/2009) but now he supports a public option....In my book that makes him a liar, I don't vote for liars...

Here is a video of our Representative supporting the health care bill, on the House floor today .... My question to you, John Salazar, is how would you know what would help your district? You were to much of a coward to actually talk to your constituents and ask them what THEY wanted. Oh I forgot Pelosi owns you. What did she give you for your support of the bill...I was just wondering. Remember John,...
Get in the fight against statism. The life you save will be your own (and grandmas's and the kids, and Aunt Bessie .....) Subject: Vote on Healthcare Tonight Here's a list of the Democrats who are (reportedly) undecided or on the fence. Time to jam the phone lines. If they're not in your district it doesn't matter. Call 'em anyway. Call as many as you can. Someone who wants to force you to purchase...
The philosophical flaws in House Dems' Blue Dog Caucus have been known for quite a while. Blue Dog John Salazar has been boldly playing both sides of that debate, but he'll have to make final and fateful choice in the next few days : Blue Dogs like to say that they are fiscal conservatives. In fact, "fiscally conservative" is the first way that Blue Dogs describe themselves on their website....

The House of Representatives is going to vote on the Nancy Pelosi health care bill as soon as Friday. The key to the passage of this vote is the Blue Dog Democrats, which our own (Colorado's third District) John Salazar, is a member. I don't want you to bother Mr. Salazar, if any of these listed things are true: If you want to wait in line for health care. If you want the government to take over 1/6...

Well election day has come and gone and I was disappointed about the Mesa County races and impressed with the races that occurred in New York, New Jersey, Maine, and Virginia. In Mesa County; the term limits on Sheriff, DA, and Coroner terms were extended and Rose Femia Pugliese lost the school board race so everything I wanted to happen, didn't happen. I hate it when everything you vote for loses....
