31 Dems voting against this landmark legislation hailing from Swing Districes for the most part.


We have a 249-178 advantage,

You are really willing to show all these folks the door even if it means no legislative victories for the next two years?

It was asinine when it was suggested. It would just be incredibly stupid now!!!

[Bicoastal]

1. I'm conflicted about Stephanie Herseth Sandlin

She's Fiiiiine....

[shoopnyc]

2. Disagree. Stupak must go. Period. eom

[cmd]

3. Look carefully at the choices.

Many of the primaries are closed now. You will see who the opposition is. Do you want them making choices for you? Are you ready to help fund a write-in campaign in those areas. Do you have the means to raise enough money to win? Think carefully. I know what I have to do.

[tekisui]

4. Yes, I would like to see them all Primaried.

We don't really have a 249-178 advantage. We have, at best, a 218-209 advantage. I count all conservatives as one.

Even if every one of the Primary challenges were successful in beating the blue mutt, and lost to a gopper--Real Dems would still have the majority.

Purge the Conservadems!

[high density]

5. So what do these people bring to the table?

When we needed them the most they voted with the GOP.

[Perky]

8. They are wrong on HCR,, but they might be right on Financial regulation or Immigration

or a host of other issues.

[BlueIdaho]

6. Walt Minnick is hopeless - his voting record is only slightly better than Bill Sali.

[oldtime dfl_er]

7. Throw the bums out

We still need real change.

[vaberella]

9. I'm really just after Stupak and the 8 cronies or so that stood by him. n/t

[LoZoccolo]

10. I wouldn't do it because of one bill, but...

...if polling shows that their challenger winning against the Republican, while they can't, I would consider it for any candidate. That is a very unlikely situation though.

[Dappleganger]

11. If they cannot vote with the democratic party on the most basic issues...

they need to GO. Numbers mean nothing unless they VOTE on our side!

[ingac70]

13. I agree.

John Tanner is my rep and he always votes against what is important.

[Pyrzqxgl]

12. Yes, I think our party has to show that party loyalty on issues like this comes first.

I think their has to be a planned progression to get the progressive word out there,
to get voters on our side and to get these Democrats in name only out of office.
Maybe not all at one time, but certainly over time (i.e. the next few elections).

[bigwillq]

14. Yes

All incumbents should face a primary challenge even if they vote with the party 100 percent of the time.

[Mojambo]

15. I believe in the democratic process and think all incumbents should face primary challenges. n/t

[monmouth]

16. You can bet the Repubs wouldn't stand for it. Primary them...n/t

[PolNewf]

17. I think Stupak has earned it

He went way too far.

[nsd]

18. Stupak is going to vote for the bill.

He's not on that list. In fact, he and the five others at the press conference today probably will provide the margin of victory.

[angee_is_mad]

19. kissell's district went for Obama

therefore his corny ass need to go!!

If Obama wasn't on the ticket his azz wouldn't be in DC. He rode Obama's coattails all the way to Washington and now this?

[KansasVoter]

20. So, you let them slide? Wow, that will teach them!!
