Joseph Cao (R-LA). Let's give credit where credit is due. |
|
This guy deserves a profile in courage. True he represents Jefferson's former district, but still. Hear, hear! :patriot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Cao

He voted after it reached 218.
To his constituents, he can look good.
To his fellow Repubs, he says: "Hey guys, they ALREADY WON! You understand, right? You want me to WIN next election, right? No harm, no foul!"
Scumbag. Like the rest. I could be wrong, but I ummm, doubt it.

As he must have known it would.

11. You think he won't face reprocussions from his party for that vote? |
|
He's the only Republican who voted for his constituent's interests. Yes he does deserve Kudos.

5. He waited until they had enough dem votes to pass it |
|
Then he voted for the bill. So good for him for voting Aye, but I would have respected him a lot more if he had voted Aye before the dems had the 218.

16. That's odd. Republicans usually root out people with empathy pretty effectively. |
