Cao Casts Lone GOP Vote for Health Care

Full story: CBS News

This story was written by Perry Bacon Jr. . When Republican Anh "Joseph" Cao won a stunning victory in a heavily Democratic district in New Orleans last December, the GOP was so thrilled that House Minority Leader John A. Boehner sent a memo to his colleagues headlined "The Future is Cao." But on health care, Cao had for months considered bucking ...

OMIGOD!! A moderate Republican. Get your camera ready. Maybe we will find a unicorn next?! Or maybe get bigfoot for an interview.
Now we know where moderate republicans can survive. In the frivolity of New Orleans.

I guess his vote makes this 'bi-partisan.'

Another fracking RINO.

It would seem he is representing the area that elected him. That is what a representative is supposed to do.

Cao: a cheap, tawdry whore.

Here is the cheap price the Democrats paid for Cao’s vote:

Louisiana Congressman Anh “Joseph” Cao on Sunday morning released a statement after he voted as the only Republican in favor of the Democratic health care reform bill.

The health care reform bill, dubbed the “Affordable Health Care for America Act”(H.R. 3962), passed the U.S. House of Representatives in a 220 – 215 vote.

“Tonight, I voted to keep taxpayer dollars from funding abortion and to deliver access to affordable health care to the people of Louisiana,” Cao said in a statement released by his office.“I read the versions of the House [health reform] bill. I listened to the countless stories of Orleans and Jefferson Parish citizens whose health care costs are exploding – if they are able to obtain health care at all. Louisianans needs real options for primary care, for mental health care, and for expanded health care for seniors and children.”

Cao wrote he obtained commitment from President Obama that he would work together to address the health care issues of Louisiana, including the FMAP crisis and community disaster loan forgiveness, as well as issues related to Charity and Methodist Hospitals.“I call on all my constituents to support me as I work with him on these issues.”

He obtained a “commitment from President Obama.”

You know what that’s worth: Nothing.

Open season on RINO's.
