Joseph Cao: Voting For Health Reform Was "A Decision Of Conscience" (VIDEO)

The one House Republican to support health care reform said on Sunday that his decision to back the bill was driven by his conscience and the needs of his district and not back-room dealing with the White House or Democrats.

Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La), appearing on CNN, said that he cast his vote in favor of reform only after an amendment greatly restricting the coverage of abortions was allowed to… » Full Story on Huffington Post

Concience? You voted for a blatantly socialist government run health care bill, that will mandate every American citizen to carry it, and that eases your conscience? Maybe there was something else on your conscience before voting, lots of money to your state and your personal agenda's.

I tried emailing this bonehead with no success since I am not in his district. Monday AM I am calling DC to every Represenitive that voted yes and all that are against this bill should do the same. Its time to send a crystal clear message to these idiots that they are damaging this country and they WILL be replaced along with the great leader and thief.

This bill will improve the lives of almost every American out there. Our health care system is broken, and needs a major overhaul to fix it. This is the first step, and should be supported by all who care about their fellow citizens.

This is great news to all of us who have worked hard all our lives to be able to finally have affordable health insurance. It is my belief that we have a moral and civil obiligation to be supportive of those who are less fortunate than us, Thank you Congress!

You supporters of this bill sound just like the idiots in Altas Shrugged. It's uncanny.

It is a particularly encouraging story because of Representative Cao's statement: "I had to make a decision of conscience based on the needs of the people in my district." It would be very helpful to our country if more representatives would look closely to the needs of the people in their districts. Also, Republicans in the past were more moderate. We miss the impact of their intelligence and the good points they are quite capable of making, when there is so much sound and fury. I hope Representative Cao's example will encourage more moderate Republicans to speak up.

An individual of conscience is strikingly rare among the Republican Party officials. As proven by Cao's singular vote! Instead of honoring the oath they took of the people, by the people, for the people; conservatives are of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.

Are your sure Ahn Cao is not the Vietnamese for Arlen Specter?
This is the man that sell his people up the river just to make his chance of winning better.
I would say he will make a fine democrat.
He already is their sense of moral.

Republithug whackadoodles fervently admonish their own as the holidays approach with the likelihood that the votes will swing in the opposite direction once they realize the bill will be passed and the next chapter in the life of American Politics will take place. 2010 is a shoe in for anyone non-Gee No Pee...

It didn't take long for Representative Joseph Cao of Louisiana to oust Dede Scozzafava from the top ranking as most reprehensible turncoat posing as a Republican. Cao's dunderheaded vote in support of the Pelosi-Care bill undoubtedly garnered some ear-marks for his district and who-knows-what other promises from the desperate-not-to-fail Democrats.
It is not likely a co-incidence that Pelosi and Obama's wranglers targeted Cao, as he is

".. the poorest member of Louisiana's delegation (including the state's two senators) in Congress: as of 2009 his assets were no greater than $195,000 and his potential liabilities mounting to $215,000."
Cao appears to be broadcasting on the All Katrina All the Time network, as Democrats have figured out that if they can include a Katrina ear-mark in a bill, they can count on Katrina Joe, regardless of what other legislation it includes.
5 to 1 says Cao begins consulting with his weasels-in-arms Arlen Specter and Jim Jeffords before November 2010.

What a bunch of morons. Arguing about a meaningless vote that the democrats already had to win for their health care bill in the House. Besides, the bill is dead as it arrives at the Senate.

Conscious? American's aren't going to have a guilty one when we vote every last incumbant out of office starting next year. In fact, our conscious will be as clean as a baby's bottom! Hey all you losers in the House, guess what? America's gonna 'clean' House next November. Get your new resume's ready and maybe you can get a job flipping hamburgers in the burger joint because you're all out of work. Come join us! And while you're at it, don't ask for any breaks from us on the burger-making lines!!

Right.
One pol actually does his job(listens to his constituents) and supposedly fairminded 'realAmericans' want him punished for not marching in North Korean lockstep.
Dig yourselves, turkeys.
In memeory of Rep. Otis Pike.

Louisiana is long known for its political corruption just as it is primarily a Demoncrap held state (the two go together like a horse and carriage). Often the only way for a Loser Politician to be elected in a primarily Demoncrap area is to run as a Republican and then vote like a Demoncrap in order to hold on to his office.

The people don't care what politicians call themselves as long as they get their needs met and plenty of pork on the side. Likely Cao voted as a Demoncrat on Ovomit/Pelosi Death Care because he knew it would get him reelected in his district.

The correct name for a piece of political crap like Cao is RHINO (Republican In Name Only).

Bled State...This was not meaningless. It is too close to Communism to even consider it meaningless. It should never get even close in a well educated America. This should not even come up for a vote in either house or senate.

Its nice to see Republicans cross over. They will be needed for the next step. Food and shelter for all is also needed plus the environment. With an 80% income tax and more nationalization of companies it can be pulled off.

Fox & it appears they are ready to expose the truth about the background of this individual who has had an extremely radical past!

DON'T MISS IT! DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS, ALL U.S. CITIZENS & VOTERS! This should prove interesting!! (See Email, Part 2!).

EMAIL, Part 2:

The report will go back to Obama's earlier days, showing even then his
close ties to radical Marxist professors, friends, spiritual advisers,
etc. It will also reveal details about his ties to Rev. Wright for 20+
years; how he was participating with this man, & not for the reasons he states!

This report has uncovered more of Obama's radical past & we will see
things that no other media is willing to report! It will be a segment to remember!

TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW! Democrat, Republican, ALL VOTERS; this report will open your eyes to how YOUR country is being sold down the road to Totalitarian Socialism!
