Chatter: So, why did Joseph Cao vote yes? The abortion amendment.

A rare politician that doesn’t care about partisanship. Kudos. Joseph Cao may face harsh criticism from the right on his vote, but he’s fully behind it. On his site, he writes: “I have always said that I would put aside partisan wrangling to do the business of the people.” The turning point for him? The amendment blocking federal funding of abortions with the health care bill. A loss for pro-choice advocates, but a huge win for health care supporters in general. source

51%

of Democrats think that America and Africa were once part of the same continent, a proven scientific fact that shouldn’t be the basis of a poll question

24%

of Republicans agree; only 35% of white people polled agreed with this poll, which smells of partisan baiting designed to conservatives look stupid source
