Last night, on a narrow, partisan vote, the Democrats put their liberal, big-government agenda ahead of the American people

I voted against Speaker Pelosi’s bill because it is a disaster for health care in America ... It costs too much, taxes too much, cuts Medicare and Medicare Advantage, and will ultimately cause health care to be rationed.

The Democratic Party had better pay attention to what the people out here are saying ... You can no longer dismiss people by sitting on your cell phone when they're talking to you or calling them un-American or making them feel like you don't give a heck about what they're concerns are.

The House bill is dead on arrival in the Senate ... Just look at how it passed. It passed 220 to 215. It passed by two votes. You had 39 Democrats vote against the bill. They come from red states, moderate Democrats from swing districts. They bailed out on this bill. It was bill written by liberals for ...

Bill Owens’ victory in New York’s 23rd was the good news for Democrats this week and continued the party’s winning streak in competitive House special elections.

Democrats are here to work with the governor and with the Republicans to get South Dakota out of this ... It's not one party's problem; it's South Dakota's problem.
SOURCE: Argus Leader -
Instead of passing health care reform with a united front of Democrats and Republicans, Speaker Nancy Pelosi chose to reject bipartisanship and twist arms to pass this bill with a slim majority. The American people can have no confidence in this bill that seeks to take over 17 percent of the American ec...
