DeFazio a NO vote

[ericgtr]

I hear him on all the time in the mornings on KOPJ with Carl and Christine and he always a very cynical guy. Nothing is liberal enough for him and though I get that to an extent, he won't bend on anything. I will fully support any challenge against him.

Don't pour water on me. Don't pee in my Wheaties.

2. About DeFazio:

He is listed as undecided:
Peter DeFazio (Ore.) (Y) The Huffington Post reported March 19 that DeFazio is a no unless changes are made to provisions pertaining to Medicare disparity reimbursements. There are likely going to be some tweaks to the language, securing DeFazio's vote. However, DeFazio voted against the stimulus so he is not one to cave if he doesn't get what he wants

9. If someone is voting against a giant bill on the basis of small changes in Medicare reimbursements,

that's weak.

it's pathetic in fact. these kind of fixes get done all the time separately.

5. He will vote yes if they need him...

Some of these congresspersons are just trying to get attention.

This is nothing to worry about at all.

[ericgtr]

6. They do need him and he's an emphatic NO

Leading up to this he's been whining about it for weeks, he's out.

8. Even the fox report, which does not include the full quote in context

is not emphatic.

I'm a no unless they fix this," he said, referring to what he sees as insufficient Medicare spending in rural areas.

7. NYT lists him as yes
