Senator Bob Casey seems legitimately offended by this bill.

A lot of politicians on both sides posture but you can see this bill offends his sense of right and wrong.

1. Bless him........

I wonder if we'll ever see his state partner show his face regarding this - after all, he ran his campaign from his Mom's front sidewalk, saying what a wonderful son he was.

So, HEY, PAT TOOMEY, you gonna' sell us all down the river for your 1% rich fat-cat friends?

Gee, I wonder how much fun Mom will have at her next card-club meeting with her other friends?

3. Toomey was on the committee that WROTE that healthkill bill.

2. Glad he has been out there because his colleague Toomey

was on the committee to draft that nightmare. And Toomey just go re-elected in this last freak PA election (where Democrats won top-of-the-state-ticket races but not President and his seat as Senator) so he doesn't give a shit.

4. I like him a lot. He was plain spoken and authentic.

5. He's been more lowkeyed but much more persisent than his father

Definitely a different personality.

6. I really like Sen. Casey

He used to be pretty under-the-radar but he's starting to make his voice heard.
I know a lot of you here dismiss him because he's "pro-life" BUT I can't remember when or if he's ever introduced legislation that would restrict a woman's right to choose. He recently had a great piece on FB about how he supports Planned Parenthood *because* he's pro-life and they reduce the number of abortions. (Amazing how no repug has ever come to the same conclusion.) I think he's of the Joe Biden/Tim Kaine school of thought here: he's "personally opposed" due to his Catholic faith but doesn't feel it's his place to impose that belief legislatively.
I'd love to see Sen. Casey run for POTUS or be a running mate someday.

7. He reflects where he (and I) were raised

Although I am adamantly pro-choice, my family, the Casey's, and so many others are Catholic, Kennedy Democrats who come from Scranton, PA.

8. I have NEVER seen him so upset. He's always been soft-spoken and kind of laid back.

How many times have I listened to him and thought "Jesus, Bob, show some emotion... yell, holler, scream".
Well today he DID and it was refreshing. Boy... is he pissed.
