1. Notice the states most of them represent. nt

[FLAprogressive]

2. yup

Interestingly, normally ultra-reactionary Democrat Gene Taylor (MS) is a sure vote against working families but apparently he had some sort of an epiphany tonight and voted "yes".

[Sarah Ibarruri]

12. That's pretty darn amazing consider the state! I am always amazed when people from

the "DEEP SOUTH" vote to do good. I'm so used to people from the Deep South voting to do evil, wrong, or in favor of stupid-ass religious/pseudo-patriotic things.

[FLAprogressive]

14. the Dems from the Deep South are almost as bad as the Republicans from there on some issues n/t

[Sarah Ibarruri]

25. I know. nt

[Libertyfirst]

24. You need some help with math?

Half of the twenty were from the South. Ten. How many deep south democratic representatives voted for the measure? I think you should have that number on the tip of your tongue considering your bigoted attitude toward the deep south.

Half of the number were not from the deep South. Some were from California and Wisconsin. Which I am sure you expect "good" things from.

As a liberal southerner who has had to contend you people like you all his life, I can only say that prejudice and bigotry take many forms and you perfectly demonstrate one type of it.

[FLAprogressive]

31. This was never an attack on the people of the Deep South. Just their shitty politicians.

Most Deep South Dems tend to be reactionaries....whether the people in their districts intended to vote for a reactionary or someone who will stand up for working families is another story.

[whopis01]

39. BS. Look at what that was in response to:

I am always amazed when people from the "DEEP SOUTH" vote to do good. I'm so used to people from the Deep South voting to do evil, wrong, or in favor of stupid-ass religious/pseudo-patriotic things.

That is clearly an attack on the people of the deep south.

[FLAprogressive]

40. Well.....I suppose I should clarify. *my* post wasn't an attack. nt

[blindpig]

32. And 9 of 20 are from west of the Mississippi.

One less than the southern total.

So just what was your point?

Reactionaries are everywhere.

[marmar]

3. Heath Shuler.....Now THERE's a shock!!!! Next you're going to tell me he's a blue dog or something..

:sarcasm:

[FLAprogressive]

5. lol! Shuler is one of the worst.

Virulent homophobe and signed on to a Tancredo immigration bill......he's not too bright either.

Bad news all around.

[patrice]

4. I'm embarassed to admit that I need to ask: This was the Auto Rescue Bill, right? nt

[FLAprogressive]

6. yes n/t

[robinlynne]

29. Thank god you asked. I was going to have to.....

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Filner has always been pro labor, he'll get a call from me

and a reminder of what happened in the great depression. He has a PhD in history (history of science but still) he should know better

[KoKo]

8. G.K. Butterfield of NC helped us get law demanding Paper Ballots for Voting in NC!

:eyes: I have no idea what this vote is about. He's from a Dem congressional district in NC that's not Conservative. I'll have to check this out. I have no idea why he voted like this unless he has a Toyota or Kia plant in his district...

[mmonk]

19. Yep. Butterfield is usually good (despite the false idea all southern dems

are conservative).

[NNN0LHI]

9. This is a good list to keep around for future reference

Wonder how they voted on the Wall Street bailout?

Don

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Filner voted against it

so if anything he's being consistent

So did Stark

[FLAprogressive]

13. Boyd, Cardoza, Cooper, Davis, Giffords, Mitchell, & Rahall voted for the bailout - will add to OP nt

[NNN0LHI]

18. Thank you for researching that info and adding it to the OP

[musette_sf]

11. Pete's consistent

he voted against the bank bailout, also.

NUMMI is in his district so i will need to see how this figured into his vote.

[Mojorabbit]

15. I was just reading

that the rescue will appoint a czar who will have a lot of power over the union contracts. I am not sure that is the best idea.

[jody]

16. Contrary to your assertion, Artur Davis future Gov of AL voted for working families. n/t

[FLAprogressive]

17. How?

[NNN0LHI]

20. jody thinks Shelby is swell too

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4623375&mesg_id=4623375

[jody]

35. "thinks Shelby is swell"? If you believe that, then you are severely reading challenged. n/t

[jody]

34. Read "Congressman Davis Announces Opposition To Automobile Bailout"

http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/al07_davis/auto.html

[ogneopasno]

21. Tim Walz? WTF?

[Glorfindel]

22. Well, my congressman, Gene Taylor, actually did the right thing!

I am proud of him, and surprised...he's usually the ultimate "Blue Dog" (DINO, if truth be told). 4th Mississippi Congressional District, by the way.

[UTUSN]

23. Ciro RODRIGUEZ is a GREAT Dem AND a great veterans advocate/supporter. n/t

[Maestro]

36. Yes, I wonder what his reasoning is behind this

vote. I was surprised to his name.

[flvegan]

26. "Dems" The quotes are a must.

[RubyDuby in GA]

27. Now how did I know that Jim Marshall's name would be on there?

Oh yeah...because he is the only - ONLY - Democrat to have voted against SCHIP. He is a flaming bastard and I would have gladly seen him lose his seat to any asshole Republican because then you would have a real R in that seat instead of the wolf in sheep's clothing that he is.

Jim Marshall - you are an asshole.

[madrchsod]

28. steve kagen---gm just shut down it`s oldest plant in janesville wisconsin

i guess he did`t notice...

[FLAprogressive]

30. Janesville isn't in his district nt

[Laelth]

33. I am regularly apalled by Jim Marshall, my representative.

He votes my way about 50% of the time. That's only marginally better than the 0% I'd get from a real Republican.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

:dem:

-Laelth

[JeffR]

37. Take heart

At least your rep isn't John Barrow. 50% would be a miraculous number with Barrow. He really bites.

[Hubert Flottz]

38. Rahall is starting to really piss me off.

I'll tell the guys at the union hall about his union busting vote.
