Heros, Villains, ???

So, after the vote to nationalsocialize American health care, I posted a list of "Democratic Heroes", Democrats in Congress who voted "no."  This list included a Congresscritter from Tennessee named Davis.  The other day, my father pointed out to me that Representative Davis is rather notorious for being a "benchwarmer" who will do whatever the Speaker desires of him.  I recalled that there were reports that we could expect some democrats, if and when a vote was assured, to be "allowed" to vote "no", so as to be able to assure their constituents that they had done whatever they could to prevent this abortion (so to speak) from passing.  We had seen such shenanigans before.

So, come November, remember that a "no" vote on ObamaCare is not a guarantee that your congresscritter's heart is in the right place; that goes for pachyderms as well as jackasses.

Edited to add:  Hello, US House of Representatives! Whoever you are that Googled Bill Foster and wound up here, I hope your boss wasn't too butt hurt to discover that I have labeled him a "villain" for his vote...  Or, actually, I hope he was upset, and reconsiders his ways after the good people of Illinois' 4th Congressional District boot him this fall.  Granted that, being from Illinois, the Fix may be In, he should still reconsider.  Mostly I hope you told him and he doesn't take it out on you.
Ditto, Brad Sherman (CA-24), Frank Pallone (NJ-6), Debbie Halvorson (Ill-11), Betty Sutton (Oh-13), Brian Higgins (NY-27), and all of you from the House of (mis)Representatives who found my blog with out being so indiscreet as to do so while searching for your boss's names. 

To all my friends:  If I should suddenly disappear from the Internetz, beware the Men in Black...
