Healthcare Roll Call Vote Including Joseph Cao's Only Republican Vote
FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 887
(Democrats in roman; Republicans in italic; Independents underlined)
Click here for results
One Republican voted with the Party that is destroying our republic. Congressman Ahn "Joseph" 
Cao (RINO-LA) was heavily recruited by Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama, Cao sold his soul and voted with the Democrats. Final roll call vote is 220-215.
Cao cites the Stupak amendment to extend the ban on federal abortion subsidies as the clincher. Click here for the Stupak 240-194 roll call vote. Cao pathetically rolled over for the Obama administration and will now try and justify that by claiming a principled alignment with the GOP's stance against tax payer funded abortion.
Don't be fooled, Congressman Cao allowed his political weakness to trump his Patriotism and better sense.
From Malkin's site:
Cao backed the S-CHIP expansion, the $108 billion IMF bailout, and the omni-waste spending bill. And he voted to rebuke GOP Rep. Joe Wilson for calling out President Obama on his health care lies.
Cao reveals the cheap price he received for his soul: a commitment from President Obama that he would work together to address the health care issues of Louisiana, including the FMAP crisis and community disaster loan forgiveness, as well as issues related to Charity and Methodist Hospitals. [end]
Can you imagine anyone believing in a "commitment" from This president? Only the willfully ignorant can feed on such grain.
Charles Rangel and Nancy Pelosi do not have the integrity or competence to successfully manage a grocery store trip... and yet they are trusted with the keys to the entire supermarket chain.
This health care take over accounts for about one-sixth of the entire economy, more than any other industry... That ladies and gentlemen is the reason why they (Obama admin) rammed it down America's throat, those that convincingly control the purse strings control the dole. We are goose-stepping closer and closer to socialism, welcome to an Obamanation.

Nancy Pelosi's Emotional Hypocrisy
Nancy Pelosi, congressional photo_wiki
By Tony Vega
Is there ugly rhetoric in the current debate surrounding healthcare? You betcha! And it should not be condoned. I believe it is immature to justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior. This content is not going to do that, what it will do is illustrate the hypocrisy of the left, namely Nancy Pelosi.
Madam Speaker had this to say, "I think we have to take responsibility for our action and words." You can view the emotional address here. Pelosi continued by referring to the "late '70s in San Francisco. This kind of rhetoric was very frightening...it created a climate in which violence took place." A reference to the murders of Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist.
Her statement in of itself is a sound one. Savvy onlookers, however, know what is under that plastic mask. Pelosi's cautionary tale along with recent cries of racism is the new bat wielded by the left. It serves to scare the opposition into silence. Listen people, opposing the POTUS is not a hate crime.
In all fairness, fancy Nancy did not call out any Republicans during her emotional performance. Later that same day the House Speaker did send out a fundraising letter, in which she could no longer contain herself.
In her letter, Pelosi accuses the opponents of "health-insurance reform" (note the name change) of cynical name calling and waging "false attacks on President Obama."
"I think we have to take responsibility for our actions and words." Oh, really Madam Speaker? Are you and yours ready to take responsibility of and for the following:
Uttered during the summer of '09 about the American people opposing Obama's plan(s):
1. "Un-American"-Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
2. "Evil-mongers"-Harry Reid (D-NV)
3. "Racist"- Jimmy Carter (D- former POTUS)
4. "Angry mob of extremists"- Democratic National Committee (DNC)
5. "Birthers and tea baggers"- Dick Durbin (D-IL)
6. "Very rabid people"- Steny Hoyer (D-MD)
7. "Political terrorists"- Baron Hill (D-IN)
8. "Ku Klux Klan"- John Dingell (D-MI)
9. "Brown Shirts [Nazis]"- Brian Baird (D-WA)
10. "Brain dead [lodged against opposing Democrats]"- Pete Stark (D-CA)
For the sake of brevity, I'll stop this list consisting of, uh, to borrow Pelosi's words, "Rhetoric that is frightening." What is egregious about this list of ten insults are that it is uttered by our elected officials and hurled at the American people.
Any forthcoming apology from Pelosi and her team's glaring lack of decorum? Didn't think so.
In conclusion, it is only fitting to close with Nancy's own words; yeah I know I said I'll stop at ten. Sue me, or rather call out, "You Lie."
Referring to the President of the United States: "Total failure"- Nancy Pelosi, 2008
Of course, she was referring to George Bush. Feel better now?
Madam Speaker did not mind protesters when they shared her ideology:
"So I think all of you who have spoken out for your courage, your point of view, all of it, your advocacy is very American and very important. I am a fan of disrupters. Let's not question each other's Patriotism when we have this very honest debate that this country expects and deserves" - Nancy Pelosi, January 17, 2006. [emphases my own]
See her in all her glory, here.
What does the Speaker of the House have to say about YOU if you have the audacity to oppose Obamacare? In a word, "Un-American." [August 2009. See #1]
Nice.
Hello, mainstream media?? Is this mike on??

Barney Frank Challenged at Town Hall Meeting by LaRouche Democrat
By Tony Vega
Most of us are aware of the controversy surrounding the recent town hall meetings where various representatives show up to discuss healthcare reform. The Democrats did not anticipate the passionate rejection of Obamacare. The American people were not buying.
President Obama, a great campaigner and orator as long as the teleprompter is working, appeared before us and could not quite sell it either. Barack Obama the campaigner just met Barack Obama the President.
What did our illustrious leaders do? They started a smear campaign against the American people. Nancy Pelosi and her minions began to claim that the grassroots effort of the people were instead Astroturf; a cool way of saying the backlash is contrived.
Barney Frank appeared courageous if not justified by telling a woman at a recent Massachusetts town hall meeting, “Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table.” This was in response to the woman asking Frank, "Why do you continue to support a Nazi policy?"
The Nazi policy was a reference to Obamacare. The woman was also holding an image of Obama
wearing a Hitler moustache.
They (Obama, Pelosi, Barney Frank, MSNBC, et al) want to mislead us into believing our neighbors and our senior citizens are not concerned. They float out the notion that we are being fed myths and lies by FOX and Tea Party organizers. They want the nation to believe that it is angry hordes of conservatives showing up at town hall meetings with Hitlerized posters of Obama.
Folks, don't listen to me. For the sake of this union, turn the pages yourselves. Regardless, if you agree with that LaRouche woman or not, the point is the MSM is corrupt and complicit. The media has a vested interest in the success of their American Idol.
Obama supporters, Barney Frank supporters worry not, for the antidote to the tainted kool-aid is the truth.

What they are not telling you is:
Expanded Video Woman Mentions LaRouche:- The woman at Barney Frank's town hall meeting is not a Conservative. She is a LaRouche Democrat. More here and More on the LaRouche movement here
- Bus loads of paid operatives from ACORN, SEIU, HCAN, and others are showing up chanting pro-Obama ditties, promoting Obamacare, and allowed entry into town hall meetings while those with a dissenting point of view are barred from entry; a clear example of astroturfing.
- George Soros is pledging millions to bankroll and promote Obamacare; Health Care for America Now (HCAN) is set to receive 5-million dollars from Soros. Huffpo

AARP Pulls the Plug on Obamacare
... or does it?
White House photo by Peter Souza
By Tony Vega
AARP has clearly expressed the need for healthcare reform. Many Americans agree that there is room for improvement in our current healthcare system. Many of us are either directly affected or know someone that is affected by inadequate insurance.
Health is directly related to happiness, life and death. The prospect of not receiving adequate healthcare is a scary notion and to some a reality. Politicians thrive on such fears and exploit the same.
Our healthcare should not be determined by political ideology. A wise man once told me the difference between the way things are and the way they should be would drive a sensitive person crazy.
AARP's position appears to be dubious if not duplicitous; one thing for sure is it's confusing as is the president's 1,017-page manifesto. AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, is currently a large player in the insurance industry.
In 2008, AARP was added to the Medicare Advantage plan, which is privately run insurance subsidized by the government. The government reimburses Medicare Advantage at a higher rate, an average of 12 percent, than it does Medicare's traditional fee-for-service program. [1]
In July, AARP organized a town hall meeting in order for the president to pitch his plan from a friendly platform. AARP does not have a PAC and can posit itself as non-partisan. However, Barry Rand the CEO of AARP donated $8,900 to Obama and even more to the Democrats. [2]
If anyone is half paying attention it is obvious that AARP is a left oriented organization and as a major player in the insurance game stands to make some serious coin with an Obama health plan.
Barack Obama was confident he had AARP's support. So confident that during an August 11, New Hampshire town hall meeting he strolled out and boldly proclaimed, "we have the AARP onboard because they know this is a good deal for our seniors. AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare."
AARP immediately responded by stating, "indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate." To claim that your ally is “inaccurate” about your alliance is strong language to say the least and indicates a clear dysfunction of the plan.
So what happened? We happened folks and despite the disparaging remarks by Pelosi and her clowns, the American people appropriately responded to Obamacare.
Dissension is the hallmark of Freedom, not just when liberals dissent, but when every American has a right to express their voice. The people are rejecting Obamacare, which should not be confused with adequate healthcare.
Customers ripped up their membership cards in response to AARP's perceived endorsement of Obamacare. The customers’ response resounded effectively and as a result, AARP pulled the plug on its support of Obama's plan. Money talks...you know the rest.
The power of competition and choice is displayed in a recent CBS report. Since July, 60,000 AARP members cancelled their membership and many defected to the American Seniors Association.
Video:
AARP is also scrambling for damage control, damage caused by their out of touch representatives at a Texas town hall meeting. AARP turned their back on the folks, pulled the plug on the microphone and left the building.
Video:
Barack Obama is in a wonderful position to rescue healthcare and emerge as a hero, all he has to do is start listening to the folks. Healthcare is an important issue that past administrations did not adequately address. The Obama administration can truly change America, for the better.

Crap and Trade
Janschwalde Power Station, Wiki Commons
By Tony Vega
Update: H. R. 2454 can be found here , thanks Independent Voice
With the birth of an Obamanation the second amendment becomes an even more attractive target, health care is close to being socialized and Cap & Trade is a euphemism for oppressive taxation.
A quick look at the numbers for this Cap & Trade fiasco will reveal that your average American will get hosed at the gas pump, may want to read their electric bill with the lights out and watch their jobs sail away to overseas corporations. Oh, let's not forget about the polar bears or the planet, no help there either.
There are many credible organizations, such as the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Brookings Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) and even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that detail the cost and ineffectiveness of Cap & Trade. I implore the folks to turn the pages for themselves and asses by fact.
How about our European neighbors, how has Cap & Trade been working for them?
According to an investigative report by the London Bureau of BusinessWeek, Europe's CO2 output actually rose 1.1%. An in depth analysis published in the Washington Post delves into Europe's issues with Cap & Trade. Let's take a look:
Business
Kollo Holding's factory in the Netherlands is a silicon carbide maker that calls itself the greenest such plant in the world, but now can't afford to run full-time. Europe's program has driven electricity prices so high that the facility routinely shuts down for part of the day to save money on power.
Although demand for its products is strong, the plant has laid off 40 of its 130 employees and trimmed production. Two customers have turned to cheaper imports from China, which is not covered by Europe's costly regulations.
French cement workers may lose jobs to Morocco, which doesn't have to meet the European guidelines. Four-hundred cement workers protested a license for a rival company that plans to take advantage of Europe's system for controlling greenhouse gases by circumventing it. The rival wants to import material from Morocco, where factories don't have to pay to emit carbon gas.
Residents
German homeowners pay 25 percent more for electricity, even as their utility companies earn record profits.
[Landlords will pass increased heating and electric costs to tenants. Workers across the continent face the prospect of losing their jobs to foreign facilities that aren't required to follow Cap & Trade standards. When the price of electricity, gas, and operating costs rise everyone will feel the hit, from heating your homes, driving to work, or paying for transportation to get to work and/or play.]
Environment
[In addition to Europe's CO2 output rising by 1.1%] Europe's cap-and-trade system has done little to reduce output at such places as the Janschwalde coal plant, [located near the village of Janschwalde in Brandenburg on the German-Polish border] Europe's third-biggest carbon dioxide emitter. Each year, it spews more than 25 million tons of carbon dioxide; half of its output can power all of Berlin.
Remember that cement plant in Dannes, France and the prospect of them losing their jobs to a Moroccan plant?
The Moroccan plant may produce even more carbon dioxide than the one in Dannes. "This is going the wrong way from an environmental point of view," Vincent Bichet, Director General, Dannes.
Back in the U.S., Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and other Obama elites are pushing for similar Crap & Trade policies. Rest assured it will be like chum to the sharks, the lobbyists and enviro-arsonists are already circling.
It is my firm belief that we should all be good shepherds of the earth. The current Cap & Trade system will do nothing for the planet and is only green in the sense that it will remove the green from your wallet and plant it into the accounts of the fat-cats.
