Shameless Democrat Behavior

[Mr Skeptic]

I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread keeping track of shameless Democrat behavior, so we can remind the world of it come election year. Same with the Republicans, which I also made a thread for here.

[bascule]

The following Democratic Senators are obstructing the passage of a public option, instead supporting a more expensive bill that would provide a lower quality of care:

 

Kent Conrad, North Dakota

Blanche Lincoln, Arkansas

Bill Nelson, Florida

Thomas Carper, Delaware

 

Also, shame on my own Blue Dog Representative: Jared Polis of Colorado's 2nd District. While representing the most liberal district in Colorado and one of the most liberal in the nation, he has steadfastly opposed healthcare reform. I know personal friends of his who have contacted him asking him what he is doing with no reply.

 

The man campaigned on what can only be described as an "ultra-liberal" platform, and has since done anything but. I think it's rather rare for an incumbent to lose his party's primary, but given the buzz around here I think it's possible he'll lose the primary in 2010.
