Steve Kagen: Pelosi Puppet

I want all those up in the 8th Congressional District -- including those still fighting the 2006 Campaign -- who are about to be fed the line that "Steve Kagen is his own man" for the next twelve months, to take a look at this from The Hill regarding the Health Care Bill every time he or his worm of a Press Secretary; former Chris Dodd flack, Jake "The Snake" Rubin speak.

Several members who were firm “no” votes before are either on board or are now undecided. For example, Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), who voted no in the Education and Labor Committee, now sounds as though he will vote yes. Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-N.D.), who rejected the package that came out of the Ways and Means Committee, is backing the bill. And Rep. Tom Perriello (D-Va.), who was strongly opposed to the previous measures, is now undecided.

Like Polis, Reps. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), Steve Kagen (D-Wis.) and Kathy Dahlkemper (D-Pa.) had signed letters to Democratic leaders earlier this year expressing concerns about the direction of healthcare reform. But when Pelosi rolled out the new version of the bill last week, all four lawmakers were standing behind the Speaker.

Steve Kagen, a Doctor with Principles, until Madame Pelosi tells him to "Jump!"
