One Republican votes for healthcare bill »
Posted By Tumultuous 3 weeks, 4 days ago in Political NewsAnh "Joseph" Cao, a Vietnamese-born former ethics teacher and Catholic seminarian, last winter surprised and delighted Republicans by defeating a longtime incumbent in a heavily Democratic congressional district in Louisiana.
He provided another surprise -- but probably no delight -- to his party on Saturday when he became the lone Republican to vote for the healthcare bill pushed by President Obama.

We have a two-party system. There are 178 Republicans in the House. When are Republicans going to suit up?

Looks like Anh "Joseph" Cao had the courage to do so.
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. It sort of feels like I've been watching an episode of the "Twilight Zone".

Repugnant Cons are too cowardly.

They'd rather let it pass and if it works, try and take some credit in a twisted sense of logic, and if it fails blame the democrats over and over and over and over again.
Anh Cao probably stepped up because he knows it's the Christian (and especially Catholic) thing to support. -

He just signed his termination in 2010 along with the blue dog Democrats that voted for it as well.

Libs love to ignore the Gallup poll that asked what people called themselves.
Democrat 20%
Moderate 36%
Republican 40%
Poor libs. The country is getting a belly full of the unbridled methods and purposes of the radical Democrats.
Open and transparent turned into private and hidden. No chance for the bills to be looked at by the public before forcing a vote. We were told that bills would be discussed on TV and posted on web sites instead the Democrats go into a secret caucus and then rush the bill to a vote. This after alos vowing in 2005 to kill deficit spending.
LIES, LIES,LIES!!!! That is the Democrat way.
