To Isaac Newton Skelton, A Missouri Rep, Who Voted No on the Healthcare Bill.

Isaac Newton Skelton,

The below comments are from the Jefferson City News Tribune, a newspaper in a very conservative state--Missouri. I don't know about you, Mr. Skelton, but it appears the people have spoken, Representatives have voted their conscience instead of voting in fear of losing their job, and I'm going to celebrate tonight because President Obama has the guts--along with 219 other Reps--to do the right thing. This is something the Republican Party cannot begin to understand. As for Rush Limbaugh, you don't have to go to Costa Rico for their socialized healthcare because the Democrats and the President has just made our nation stronger and healthier by taking this historic step forward.

" A vote for no is a vote against being an American. Did you know we are behind Costa Rico in healthcare right now--the place Rush Limbaugh said he would go if the bill passes. I want to go there too. 88% of its population receives free healthcare and if we go there, we pay way less than what we pay in Jeff City. Limbaugh actually supports a socialist state.

But I'll tell you what--when you start paying for your own healthcare like the rest of us and begin to get the same inadequate treatment we get, then maybe you can vote however you want.

I'm definitely voting against you--and this maybe the first year I'm a single issue voter. "

" Ike is running again, and is selling out his own party. I would suspect, and rightfully so that Ike will lose his chairmanship with a no vote. "

" Skelton doesn't care what the majority of his constituents think. He isn't running again, so he just sold his soul to the party regime. "

" I have voted for Ike since 1976, and I consider him a personal friend. I guess you can call me his base. I called his Washington office, and left this personal message Friday "If Ike votes against the Health Care bill I will no longer be able to support him" "

" Of course they are going to protect against higher taxes for the rich! That's the only people taxed in this bill. The rich are the ones who finance their campaigns!

Here are a couple good articles..as there seems to be SO much misinformation out there. If people really understood what was being voted on instead of what they hear from talk radio they might not be so adamantly opposed..it's NOT that bad!

" Issac Newton Skelton. What a charlatan! Showing his derriere to his constituents whom he thinks will buy his merde! Isaac knows full well that the end of his reign of tyranny over the 4th is over if he doesn't appear to go with his constituents this time. And his party is fully aware of that as well. So, Isaac has decreed the safe answer to his support for obamacare by his tactic of voting FOR "deem and pass" while he knows that tactic will ensure passage of obamacare and he will have never voted directly for it. Disgustingly lying by omission of what his true intentions are!
It is beyond time for Isaac to be ousted! "
