Watching Cspan

Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 09:25 AM by abluelady

Gene Taylor-D, Mississippi, is doing a town hall. Lots of people yelling, but he's going on and doing a good job. He just spoke about what happened after Katrina--the insurance companies WOULDN'T PAY. The Govenment programs paid. Wow, did that shut up that crowd. He sure knows what he's doing so far. Forgot to say I don't agree with Taylor's positions, but do think every rep should start a meeting with how insurance companies have failed us.

1. Says he's not going to vote for the HCR bill. Fuck Rep. Gene Taylor

Also voted against cap in trade.

Is this guy a Democrat or not? He sounds like a loser to me.

6. Framing the bill as INSURANCE reform builds support in "blue dog" districts

I want one payer -- but incremental progress is progress.

What is needed is for constituents in blue dog districts to CALL CONGRESS, demand REFORM, support ONE-PAYER, and say PUBLIC OPTION is a good start but more is needed.

... and NO INSURANCE RACKET BAILOUT!

7. His positions on the issues are very frustrating

to me. He runs around calling himself a Democrat, but he sticks his blue dog ass in the air when it's voting time. I told a friend of mine (a Republican) the other day that I had voted my last time for Gene Taylor. My friend said he would still vote for him. Makes sense.
