Bluedogs won't vote for healthcare repeal.

[Joanne98]

Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) attacked the health care bill in March as a massive government overreach, weighted down with new taxes but short on real reforms.

But repeal it, the way House Republicans would? No way, says Shuler, one of his party’s most conservative members.


“There are some very good things in this bill that have already become law,” Shuler said this week, citing the ban on pre-existing conditions for children and steps to close the Medicare prescription drug doughnut hole for seniors. “It is not just wrong but immoral to take those things away.”

Shuler was one of 13 Democrats who opposed their party’s top legislative achievement in 2010 and won reelection. Now they have that rare chance for a do over — another opportunity to stop health reform — but most of them say they won’t do it.

Now all we have to worry about are the TRAITOR Dems in the Senate!

We need to show a UNITED front. Democrats who vote with Republicans will be FIRED!

1. Kudos to Heath!

I actually volunteered for his first campaign back in 2006. Glad he's finally doing something right!

3. Even the Blue Dogs aren't going to undermine their own deals they made last year.

Flip-flopping on health-care would drop their poll numbers in the toilet - they'll lose the Democrats in their bases, and the teatards will still vote for Republicans.

They watered down the bill last year, but now that it's law and the deals are done, they're not going to undo them.

4. Will there be ANY pubbies who will vote no?

Or is Boner's gavel just too big.
