Is My Congresswoman One of These???
I need info..before I blow a fuse and attack an innocent woman!

A couple days ago Ed Schulz had on his program a congressman who is 100% fighting for the public option in healthcare reform. This is the guy who went around Capitol Hill with his camcorder and taped the "excuses" of the band of those asshole Dems (aka Republican wanna-be's)who are trying to kneecap Obama and send his agenda to the toilet (a band of both House and Senate members). He posted it on YouTube.

Well, the first face I saw flash by was our new congresswoman here in Maine, Pingree. Is she one of this group?? If so, I can tell you that 98%+ of the Dems who voted for her here have no idea that she is a "blue dog" type. She took the place of Tom Allen who was super liberal (he stepped down to run against Collins). If this is who she is, I swear I'll work my behind off to get her dumped in the primaries in 2010. This makes me sick. Sooo...does anyone know if she is a part of this group who have openly opposed Obama??

2. Here's her web site
It says right in there that she's for a public option. http://pingree.house.gov/issues/healthcare/principals.shtml

Did she say it has to be economically sustainable, which seems to send people into a tailspin?

3. Sandnsea---don't know
On Ed Show they just showed the face but there was no reference to why she is one (supposedly) of this group. Any of them need to wise up and realize that a screwed up so-called reform means bye, bye Dems by 2012!

4. Screwed up by whose definition?
That's the problem.

And here's what they're doing to your Rep, forcing her to pledge to vote against a "weak public option", which they will get to define any way they want to after the vote is over. She voted against the war funding, by the way. But I guess that's not enough to prove her liberal creds.
