Michelle Malkin » Liveblogging, Pt. 2: The hurry-up House debate on health care; Update: Bill Passes
11:08 p.m.: Dems erupt as only people who just got a lot closer to getting their hands on a good chunk of the U.S. economy can. “Free health care that costs well over a trillion dollars” passed, 220-215. One Republican, Anh Cao, voted yes.
Cao, running as a “conservative Republican,” defeated Freezer Cash Jefferson in New Orleans.
Now, I know the usual suspects will tell me how impractical I am for being so purist about this, but we can get along without a Democrat congressman masquerading as a Republican in NOLA. Vote for his competition in the GOP primary, and refuse to vote for him if he is the candidate again.
Next up: A list of all vulnerable Democrats who voted for this socialist monstrosity.

I’m not too sure Cao ran as a ‘conservative’ Republican, as I recall there were complaints about his lack of conservative credentials from readers of the Picayune when he was running.
He’s been pretty open about the fact that he’s only marginally better than a RINO(though he doesn’t word it that way)
Cao was really nothing more than a sacrificial lamb–there was hope that he could win, but it was feeble. NOLA likes it’s corrupticrats.
With luck, his half assed term will give a real conservative the ability to actually win that seat next time and keep it out of the hands of Cold Cash’s buddies.
