He's a one-term wonder, of course, and it's very likely that he never gets elected to anything again. But he'll have other opportunities for the rest of his life.

Cao got elected by a fluke, and thankfully he will most likely be voted out next time regardless of his traitorous vote for Pelosi's healthcare scheme.

Cao voted against the stimulus and cap-n-trade

Any vote with the Dems, even on a minor procedural issue or the naming of a Post Office in Arkansas, is considered voting with them "98%" of the time according to our RINO-hunting friends.

Congratulations on your irrelevance.

Have you seen the morons that make-up the Atlas GOP? I wouldn't want to be associated with them any longer.

Haha I dunno... we have some pretty stellar mainstream and moderate Republican posters here who proudly wear their blue avatars.

There are already Facebook groups calling him a "Socialist RINO scumbag" with people hurling insults like "traitor", etc.

When people say "WHY DONT U JUST BECOME A DEMOCRAT!"... I really want to respond "Why, so he'll have a better shot at re-election?"

Does anyone remember when Boehner said "The future is Cao" Smiley

This is not a minor procedural issue. Cao just voted for the destruction of the U.S. healthcare system.

If Cao has Democratic values, why should he remain in the GOP?

1- that might be the slightest of exaggerations
2- why not extrapolate that for every divergent vote?  he votes for a pro-choice judge or something and he'll have voted for the "holocaust of millions of babies" and so on.  That sort of rhetoric just destroys all meaning to politics until it becomes a rhetorical if not literal circle-jerk.

All Cao has to do is believe that the bill will do slightly more good than harm to justify his vote.

He voted against the Obama Stimulus and Cap-and-trade.  But you say he has "Democratic values"?

He made it clear that he wouldn't vote for the Health Care bill unless it clearly protected the unborn.  Democratic values?

Politics is a filthy business to begin with, but I don't see a problem with looking at the bigger picture with regard to each individual vote.

You mean more good than harm for his political career, not for the country. Fortunately the Dems will just have to nominate any black man they could find to easily take back the seat.

The Republicans claim to be a party that supports free market solutions and restrained government. Why shouldn't their members be expected to live up to the rhetoric?
