1. Disgusting... nt

2. The 5 need to be defeated in the nx election...they are not for the Nation First Concept.

3. These "politicians"

need to be fed to their constituents. Instead, they'll get
millions of dollars from the wealth care industry and all of
the best tickets and dinners in D.C. We have to stop this
crap. Public Financing of Elections is the only way that I
know. Of course, These thieves are the very ones who would
vote on it. We need public tribunals to vote on issues that
affect the Congress, of course if you allow people to
"police themselves", you will never get change or an
admission that anything is wrong...

4. there should be no proxy votes - if you don't show, you don't vote

if you can't do it on camera by remote, you can't vote - we are in the electronic age - let's see their dirty nasty faces say it to the camera

5. You said it, tomm!

6. Everyone but Bacus who said no couldn't even look at the camera.

These people are disgusting and I hope they have a hard time living with themselves. Everyone who have tragic stories on not having health care need to write these 5 constantly. Harrass them until they are kicked out!

7. Blanche Lincoln doesn't have a chance in Hell of winning her election.
