Democrat: Obama Team 'Encouraged' Defiance of Pelosi on Stimulus

This article talks about how Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.)was encouraged by the WH to vote against the stimulus bill.

"Well, I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I actually got some quiet encouragement from the Obama folks for what I’m doing," said Cooper, one of only 11 Democrats to vote against the economic stimulus plan that passed the House last week.

"They know its a messy bill and they wanted a clean bill," he said. "Now, I got in terrible trouble with our leadership because they don’t care what’s in the bill, they just want it to pass and they want it to be unanimous."

That quote is not the most telling though, this quote is:

Cooper said during the radio interview. "If members actually had to read the bills and figure out whether they are any good or not. We’re just told how to vote. We’re treated like mushrooms most of the time."

So all you people that voted for your Democratic rep. enjoy; because apparently, you really voted for Nancy Pelosi as your representative and everyone else is just suppossed to fall in line. There is your change, a congressional dictatorship.
