The House floor erupted in one of the loudest cheers the chamber has heard in years when Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), an hour before midnight, cast the 218th and deciding vote on landmark health care reform.

Mike Honda of California as saying, “Undocumented [immigrants], if they can afford it, should be able to buy their [...]

Last June, when the dust cleared, there were only 32 Democrats left-- down from 90, then down from 52-- willing to oppose not Bush but Obama on a war supplemental budget. 90 promised and 32 followed through and voted no. When the easy vote came up-- the one that had almost all the Republicans voting for Obama's war funding-- 15 California Democrats voted no: Sam Farr Bob Filner Mike Honda Barbara Lee...

Mike Honda already signed a letter saying he wouldn't vote for a bill that doesn't have a public option. There were 2,173 donors who gave $ 5,144 to thank him for doing so. I'm assuming he cashed the check. What part of "we simply cannot vote for such a proposal" did he not understand when he signed his name? Mike Honda's office: (202) 225-2631, (408) 558-8085

In the wake of a pair of important votes in the House and Senate, America is learning who exactly in Washington, D.C. is egregiously placing their own political future ahead of accountability, of excising lawlessness, and doing everything possible to rid our government of corruption. When it comes to ACORN, thanks to the work done by an independent filmmaker and courageous aspiring journalist, we've...

Does anyone think they would grown a pair if they had a 70 seat majority in the Senate? No, me neither. How about 80 seats? Huge victory for Glenn Beck! Only 75 Democrats had the guts to stand up for ACORN today when the not-so-hapless Republican minority forced through a motion by GOP crook Darrell Issa (R-CA) to defund the organization. This is so pathetic-- and a true vision of the Republican idea...
