Thread: The effect of Rep. Murtha's death on the "health care" bill.

From electoral-vote.com;

The consequences of Murtha's death for the health-insurance bill will be lost on no one in Washington. Murtha was a very close ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a sure vote for the health-insurance reform bill. The House bill passed last year with 220 votes. Since then, Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) has resigned from the House and now Murtha died, bringing the total to 218 votes, the exact minimum needed to pass. However, one of those 218 votes was from a Republican, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA), who has changed his mind and now vows to oppose the final bill. Cao's district is D+25, so he is dead meat already (he only won because his opponent, "Dollar Bill" Jefferson, was caught by the FBI with a freezer full of illicit cash) but will remain a voting member of the House until Jan. 2011. With Wexler, Murtha, and Cao not voting "aye" when the Senate bill comes up, the Democrats are down to 217 votes, one shy of a majority

HEY RICK THE PRICK- the man is dead let him go, you fuckers are really sick, he's not even in the ground 1 day and you are counting votes, that's sick, do you really think it's going to change in a day or 2, well unless Sheet dies to

Whoever wrote your little article is dead wrong about Cao winning reelection...New Orleans has changed for the better and as long as Cao follow the will of the people who sent him to Washington he will come out a winner....the choice wasn't Cao or Jefferson to begin with....there were other candidates on the ballot who were more well known than Cao.....everything is not based on a D or R behind the name.

P.S. New Orleans this past weekend elected it's first white Mayor in almost 30yrs...the son of this city's last white Mayor....Amazing things are happening in this city....Hell, the Saints won the Super Bowl.

Well there is gonna be a special election to replace him and I'm betting my money on any Republican! So that is one less vote for the Pelosi pile of shit Act of 2009!

Also, ricky....Cao's vote came as a surprise to the republican leadership.... who warned other republicans against voting in favor of the bill....Cao held town halls all over New Orleans and he did exactly what the people in his district wanted despite saying otherwise.

He will not have the backing of the Republican party for re election and that you can count on....because he will vote yea.

Yo "AA". Din't they teach you ta read in da ghetto??? The article said he's "DEAD MEAT", that he wouldn't get elected, but that's irrelevent - he'll be around til January 2011, long enough to stop any revival of the health care rationing bill.

You want everyone to stand and applaud because New Orleans blacks stopped electing mayors on the basis of skin color?

YEP.....it's called change....and a change for the better...but seriously no one need "applaud".....and you do know that Nagin's first win was because of the WHITE vote not the BLACK vote....Know what you are speaking about before you do and you won't look the ass that we know you are.

You can't comprehend well, ricky....He will be re elected...he was elected in a "D+25 district" to begin with....if the district wanted a dem they would have elected one....OTHERS (besides Jefferson) WAS ON THE BALLOT....YOU JACKASS.

not me prick , I voted for him the first time and it was the worst mistake I've made in my life, good ole SHIT FOR BRAINS RONNIE
