If you've been following the Blue America PAC at all, you may already be aware that we've decided that we won't be endorsing any candidates for the House in 2010 unless they are genuinely enthusiastic about passing John Larson's Fair Elections Now Act ( HR 1826 ). We're not asking for some unenforceable pledge; we want nothing less than heartfelt enthusiasm. Right now Larson has 117 co-sponsors from...
As you probably know, a group that I have dubbed The Infamous 53 , recently sent a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi opposing freedom for all Americans to travel to Cuba. Transcripts of the letter were available on the Internet. What was not ready available was the actual names of the 53. An alert reader of Cuba Journal sent to me a PDF file link with the text and the signatures and the names of the 53....
(By Jim Morrill, jmorrill@charlotteobserver.com) Nearly two weeks after U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell bucked his party and voted against health care legislation, June Mabry's phone line is still burning up with calls from angry Democrats. "They feel like they got hit in the gut," says Mabry, 8th District Democratic chair. "There are people telling me they want their money back."
Aaron Blake seems like a decent enough writer at The Hill but sometimes... I just get the idea those headlines come right from the RNC communications department. Like yesterday's: Few Dems In Big Races Jump Headlong Into Backing Health Bill . Unless he meant "Few Blue Dogs," he sure has that wrong, wrong, wrong. The suicidal Blue Dogs and fellow travelers (like Artur Davis, the cowardly conservative...
Looking at the Cook Political Report’s latest competitive race chart is in itself informative - the short version is that of the top 108 competitive races, the following ratios apply: Dem GOP Likely D 45 0 Leans D 23 1 Toss-up D 12 0 Toss-up R 0 3 Leans R 1 8 Likely R 0 15 Total 81 27 …but there’s some interesting things that can be seen with a little sorting. Below is a chart of...
As posted last night in Quick Hits by Daniel de Groot, the Obama administration want to use leftover TARP funds to pay down the debt. I guess the idea is that China's economy needs more stimulating than our own: The Obama administration, under pressure to show it is serious about tackling the budget deficit, is seizing on an unusual target to showcase fiscal responsibility: the $700 billion financial...
In the wake of Saturday night's historic health care vote, the main lines of attack have been extremely partisan -- Republicans insist that politically vulnerable Democrats who voted for the bill will subsequently lose their seats and vice versa. Now, however, Democrats are being targeted from inside their own camp. The progressive advocacy group MoveOn.org released a new set of television ads on Monday...

THEY VOTED 'NO' BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SERVE SATAN

“I’ve always been focusing on making the right decisions for the people of my district, whether or not it will cost me my political future.” - Freshman Democratic Rep. John Adler (N.J.) — Freshman Democratic Rep. John Boccieri (Ohio) — Freshman Democratic Rep. Bobby Bright (Ala.) — Freshman Democratic Rep. Parker Griffith (Ala.) — Freshman Democratic Rep. Larry...
Soros Losers Unplugged There seems to be a disconnect going on out there. The latest Rasmussen Poll shows that despite Saturday Night's House passage, the public is against Obamacare 52%-45% . Worse for Obama, only 25% Strongly Support the plan while 42% are Strongly Opposed. With that in mind, I wonder what MoveOn.Soros is thinking? “ MoveOn Attacks Dems Who Voted Against Health Care The backlash...
The Fix agrees with the assessment I made yesterday : Erik Paulsen's "no" vote on the health care reform bill was a tough one. 2. The five toughest votes, politically, against the bill: Reps. Mike Castle (R-Del.), Larry Kissell (D-N.C.), Leonard Lance (R-N.J.), Erik Paulsen (R-Minn.) and Dave Reichert (R-Wash.). Castle is seeking a Senate seat in 2010 in a state where President Obama won...
Rep. Dan Boren tops the list of Democrats voting 'no' on health care HR 3962. Boren, from my home state of Oklahoma, is our only Democrat in congress. See a list Democrat congressmen voting no on HR 3962 below, along with a link to the actual bill. Dan Boren Rep. Dan Boren (D-OK) said he voted against the PelosiCare because: ...it raises taxes and will lead to a single-payer health care system in the...
The Republican tally for House votes in favor of health care reform: one. That one affirmative voter is Representative Anh "Joseph" Cao (left) of Louisiana. Explaining his vote, Cao said : “I read the versions of the House bill. I listened to the countless stories of Orleans and Jefferson Parish citizens whose health care costs are exploding — if they are able to obtain health...
The netroots have given Larry Kissell $485,795 (via OpenLeft), over the past couple of cycles. He voted no on this healtcare reform bill. He says it was to "protect medicare" which seems like a bizzare explanation. Here's the list of those Democrats that voted against it, and they all have their excuses. Brian Baird's name jumps out. He represents a pretty liberal CD in SW Washington, mostly...
