All Eyes on Ahn "Joseph" Cao

Finally, I agree with MSW. I have disagreed with him on most points regarding Catholicism and Republican strategy but finally he is within his element when he writes about RINO's(much like CINO's). I can only hope that MSW is right when he says...
"He will, in short order, replace Dede Scozzafava, the woman pushed out of the race in NY-23, as the favorite target of those in the GOP who think that voting in favor of a bill supported by President Obama is akin to heresy."
...Congressman Cao is no Republican, but rather a RINO, who has a strong sense of self-preservation(note well, his district is strongly black and Democratic) and looking to do whatever will be politically expedient for his 2010 election. Hopefully, the Republican Party in Louisiana will grant Mr Cao's wish and let him run as a Democrat.

I heard from a Jesuit friend this morning who studied with Cao, that Cao is a former Jesuit - and that obviously, something took!

If you care about health care, you would advocate killing this monstrosity of a bill that will hurt health care in America, not help it.

Beyond the anti-abortion "reinforcements" added to the bill that already banned federal funding of the operation, Cao voted for it in exchange for a commitment by Obama to accord extra health care services to the people of his Louisiana riding.

The Truth is, if you CARE for something then you should take action rather than ignoring it. Now "Actions" is speaking louder than words here..Do what is best from your belief NOT from someone else..

Do not believe for a second that the Stupak amendment, the frail facade that Mr Cao rests his smug conscience on will appear in the final bill. In the end, he sold out the unborn he claims to have saved, the elderly who will suffer and even die with the full approval of their nation s current regime, and the families who strive to play by the rules while their representatives pat each other on the back. The administration promised Cao a free ride in his re election if he d support the Stimulus...which he resisted...now he s gone over. Patronage and funds will go to the Greater New Orleans area for further looting and mismanagement. I predict it will avail Mr Cao nothing in his efforts to win re election. A black Democrat will consider it his right to have the seat and Obama will give in. But Mr Cao will no doubt receive a plum appointment in the administration. He is an embarrassment and proven himself alien to everything this country is about.

I applaud Congressman Cao for his courage. Although I don't necessarily agree with enough of the body of this legislation to have voted for it myself, I can see why Congressman Cao did.

Your allusion to Cao's vote being and inspiration for moderation and principled compromise is stretching it a bit.

While I wouldn't dare take away from or discount Congressman Cao's courage in voting against his party and with the President, especially in the south, I cannot say this was simply great leadership.

Simply put, Cao was smart enough to vote his district who voted overwhelmingly for President Obama in the last election.

Congressman Cao although a Freshman Congressman...he is no fool. He wants to keep his office as Congressman of Louisiana's 2nd Congressional district...and if you aren't from Louisiana, that means he represents New Orleans and is a Republican in one of the most heavily Democratic Congressional districts in the US.

God bless and help him.

Kudos to mr Cao.

Rep. Cao is the only Republican in the House of Representatives who has the right to call himself "pro-life." He is the only one who has shown that he values life in the womb and out of it.
