I find it hard to believe that ALL 177 Republicans are lacking a majority of constituents in their districts that want health care reform. I thought they, and the Democrats, were supposed to represent all the people and not the party to which they belong. The vote will show, beyond a reasonable doubt and beyond all the tired press statements, that this disagreement over health care is ninety percent partisan political maneuvering and has little to do with the protection of and representation of WE the people. I'm so tired of political parties. Goodlatte made a comment elsewhere saying he and all 177 Republicans will likely vote against health care reform.
