Hartford, Conn. (WTNH) – All five of Connecticut’s members of the House of Representatives now say they will vote ‘yes’ on the health care bill when it comes up for a vote this weekend.
Earlier today, 2nd District Congressman Joe Courtney told News Channel 8 he was “leaning toward yes,” but had not yet finalized is decision.
At about 2 PM Courtney told CNN he will vote “Yes.” The other four Connecticut members of Congress told us they would vote yes earlier.

They should check out today's WTNH poll.
70% against the bill.
Our CT representatives are selling us out. If this plan for the rest of Americans is so great, they should scrap their own Congressional health care plan and join the rest of us poor working slobs in the real world. No they prefer to vote themselves raises so they can live high on the hog while middle America struggles to put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads.
Republicans were the party who freed the slaves, idiot. You really are a typical liberal, ignorant and deaf when you don't like the facts.
when will the people of this pathetic state LEARN..........
"" Now, can we move onto the next issue of the day.....""
"" BANKRUPTCY ""
THANK YOU CT representatives......
may you all choke on this bill.....
"Dump Himes"
Your facts are wrong as usual. I give up trying to point this out.
your hopeless as most of your liberal friends.
the demorats will be able to steal from healhcare just like they do for social secuirty and medicaid. they will just up the price of insurnace to do other things....this is very bad.
we need to vote these people out whether it passes or not.
Let's see if Mark Davis removes this post as would be expected.
President Lincoln (R) and the republicans were responsible for ending slavery.
The democrats are responsible for despair, poverty, segregation and high taxes with nothing to show for it.
Look at Detroit, Philadelphia, Newark etc. All governed by democrats.
What a liberal lemming s--tbag he is.
I will proudly support his opponent in November.
THE Republican tide will sweep across The USA and you liberal sleazebags will be silenced and sent away in Nov 2010 and 2012.
Besides this will be sent to The Supreme Court so this is far far from a done deal.
The GOP today is an embarassment by doing all that it can to see that President Obama is unsuccessful. Unfortunately,it has spawned a new era of racism and discrimination in the U.S.
Obama expresses regret for not making Washington more bipartisan, yet he laces his speeches with gratuitous swipes at Republicans and excludes them from healthcare planning sessions.
GO F**K YOUR SELF
Just like you and your leftist agenda are now going to do to this Country.
You schmucks know damn well that your boy in the White House hoodwinked 53% of those who voted into thinking he was something other than what he truly is. Smoke and mirrors at it's finest. I'm sure he's got the 'audacity' to have Bill Ayer's write ANOTHER book for him on that subject too...
But he's in there now and we're stuck with him 'til January 20, 2013. His only claim to fame is the fact that he is the Anti-Bush and he rode the wave of hatred into office.
This is what happens when an election turns away from qualifications for office and becomes more akin to a high school popularity contest.
Am I bitter that a Democrat is in the office, not especially.
I'm more enraged at the fact that THIS unqualified arrogant islamic schooled anti-american scammed his way into the office and dolts like yourself are zealously overjoyed about it...
Once this bill passes everyone except welfare bums and illegals will pay dearly for this idiotic bill.
Obama/Pelosi/Reid.....The beginning of slavery, dictatorship and communism.
Our Connecticut politicians are not supporting the people like they are suppose to be......
Read your history. LBJ could not pass the Civil Rights bill without the help of Republicans. It was the Democrats that fought passage of the bill. I remember it since I was in my teens and we covered it in our classes. Maybe a refresher course is needed so then you would know what you are talking about.
Murphy can go back to practicing law for a living. He is such a liar like all who serve under that witch Pelosi and that other loser Reid.
Obama is not my President I didn't vote for the guy who can't even produce a birth certificate Because he is a horse's a** just like all the liberal f-faces who post here on a daily basis who are arrogant s-bags.
Well you idiots will be in the same boat as the rest of us and i am sure you will be crying the loudest when you are paying higher taxes, higher insurance premiums, higher food prices and higher gas prices.
Go ahead and gloat now morons but you will be the whiners when all this happens!!
Thanks to you aZZ clowns I will never vote for a Democrat or Liberal again.
I can't wait for our New Republican Governor, New Republican Senator and 5 New Republican Congressmen. You idiots can keep SOTS, Treasurer and Comptroller. Also we will have a GOP Attorney General.
I can't wait until 5 or 10 years from now when this all kicks in and hear you sorry a** liberals crying like a bunch of babys.
It will go to the courts for a while so go ahead and laugh it up and call people names like the usual suspects on here do every day. Have your fun because it will come back and bite you on the a**.
Especially Babyface Murphy in the 5th CD. A Carpet bagger who had to move from Southington to Cheshire so he could get a cushy job in Congress.
You don't vote for Democrats anyway, so what is the point of this statement. Over the past few years you have been a champion of the Republican party... so... you wont vote Democrat... big deal.
"Murphy can go back to practicing law for a living. He is such a liar like all who serve under that witch Pelosi and that other loser Reid."
"America does not torture!" "Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq!"
Bush lied, people died. But, when facts and history prove him wrong, you just say "he made a mistake."
"Obama is not my President I didn't vote for the guy who can't even produce a birth certificate"
Again, you ignore the facts.
"Because he is a horse's a** just like all the liberal f-faces who post here on a daily basis who are arrogant s-bags."
And your comment, quoted above, prove that you are an arrogant conservative s-bag.
"Well you idiots will be in the same boat as the rest of us and i am sure you will be crying the loudest when you are paying higher taxes, higher insurance premiums, higher food prices and higher gas prices."
Actually, I have been in the same boat as you right along.
Um, if you have not noticed, gas prices are way down since Bushie-poo left office, and food prices are down as well.
What do oil and food prices have to do with health care? Nothing. Draw logical conclusions please.
"Thanks to you aZZ clowns I will never vote for a Democrat or Liberal again."
I don't care who you vote for, just so long as you are not voting for the people I support.
"I can't wait for our New Republican Governor, New Republican Senator and 5 New Republican Congressmen. You idiots can keep SOTS, Treasurer and Comptroller. Also we will have a GOP Attorney General."
So, let me get this straight...
1. It is ok for Republicans to have complete control of every branch of the government, but not Democrats.
how is this not a double standard?
"Have your fun because it will come back and bite you on the a**."
Like torture, illegal wiretapping, attorney general scandals, outing a spy, etc. havent come back to bite you in the "a**."
