1. Thanks. This is an important list..

[emulatorloo]

2. There outta be a rule. If you are going to demonize the bill, you don't get to amend it

[robinlynne]

14. damn straight.

[Odin2005]

3. Peterson and Pomeroy suck!!!

[saracat]

4. All of Rahm's favorite folks. funny how many lists Schuler is on.

[rebel with a cause]

5. My representative voted for the bill (which he said he was not going to)

and for the Stupak amendment. I don't like it (the Stupak vote) but I imagine that he voted the way most of his constituents would want him to.

6. As a Democatic fan of the Washington Redskins

Fuck you Heath Shuler, you piece of dogshit.

[The Magistrate]

7. Thank You For Putting This Together, Sir! Your Effort Is Much Appreciated

8. I'm still trying to figure this out. We got one Republican vote. WHAT purpose did the Stupak

amendment serve? Pelosi et al HAD to have known the Republicans weren't going to vote yes, no matter what. Federal money is already prohibited from supporting abortion by law anyway. So the Stupak amendment was to . . . ?

I understand it's going to get stripped out in conference anyway, so all it really ended up doing was to show that even when Democrats "go all of the way" some people will NEVER support Progressive legislation, no matter what. The amendment was a lose:lose, but perhaps THAT was what it was meant to do. Shine a light on who the HCR-obstructionist Dems are . . . ?

11. It was for anti-choice Democrats, not Republicans.

As close as the vote was, they could have derailed it.

[patrice]

9. ooopps

[buchols]

10. Hmmm

I'm in Murphy's district... I wonder if he voted down the bill because of the abortion clause? He doesn't seem like such a hardcore progressive, though he did say he supported a deficit neutral public option. Interesting.

[happyslug]

12. I suspect the amendment was voted on to give some congress people political cover back home

For example, my representative Murtha, voted for the Amendment AND then for the bill WITHOUT the amendment. This way Murtha (and others) can go back home to their districts and if someone brings up why they voted for a bill that permitted Government funding of abortions (an accusation made against the bill, it is unimportant if that is true or not) they can say they TRIED to stop such funding by voting for this amendment when all along they planned to vote for the bull with or without such funding. Politics is NOT always straight up and down voting, you have to help your fellow party members get elected in their home districts AND often the best way to do that is give them a chance to vote for something, popular in their home district, but has no chance of ever getting a majority of votes. In such situations the congress person can go back home and said he or she tried to do what was popular in their home districts even while they voted for a bill that, like this bill, contains the opposite of what the people back home wanted. This is why most congress people, like Murtha, voted for the amendment and when it was defeated voted for the bill. Just saying why people would support this amendment AND when it was defeated voted for the bill without this amendment.

[The Magistrate]

13. A Kick, Sir, For Your 'Little List Of Those Who'd Not Be Missed'....

Those who voted for the Stupak amendment and against the Bill are beneath contempt: they got their price and failed to deliver the goods.
