Glenn Nye says he'll vote no on health care reform bill

This guy serves the Insurance companies not the voters. Time to purge such people and elect those who work for voters. Look at the polls on the public option.

I agree, Nye does not get my vote again. I am fortunate have good insurance but I know many that do not--and not of their own choice. Nye's "No" vote tells me he is just pandering to the response of his constituents in the Hampton Roads. This is a populace who probably have the best insurance per capita in the country: military, civil service, retired military, retired civil service. Unfortunately it's a matter of "...we have ours, don't change anything and I don't care if you don't have or can't get insurance." Sad. But I guess Nye wants to be re-elected so badly that he'll do (or not do) anything even if thousands of his fellow Americans die each year from lack of basic health insurance.

From the looks of it Her Majesty Nancy Pelosi's healthcare bill will be dead on arrival in the Senate anyway.

I applaud Glenn Nye's vote to stem the tide of socialism; however, I will be voting for Scott Rigell in the next election. Nye is still too liberal for my taste.

I've been very concerned about other votes from Nye, and this one was the "deal breaker". I voted for Nye, and have tried to support him, but this vote of "NO" is the vote he will see from me in the future. I WILL NOT support Glenn Nye in the future, and I've called and written and told him why.

If Nye thinks the GOP will not target him because of his voting record, he is way off the mark. No matter what he does, the GOP is going to invest heavily and target him for replacement. While I've read his reasons for voting no, I am not pleased to see him vote against this bill. He has put himself first over the citizens of the 2nd and missed the chance to make and be apart of history.

Glenn: If you stand for nothing, then you are not worthy of representing us in Congress. Last night you put your re-election ahead of uninsured Americans, you missed the boat. Good luck in 2010...

Great job Mr Nye you have just secured several votes for you next election term. Look forward to working with you again soon.

Good Bye NYE.

I did not vote for Rep Nye. But if he continues to be a representative of the people of his district and not a lemming following party lines, He will get my vote regardless of party affiliations.
Bravo Zulu to you Mr. Nye doing the fine job, you said you would, by representing the people of your district.

I think Glenn did the right thing! The likelihood of severe cuts to children's hospitals and the resulting non-age-appropriate treatment of children is a great reason to vote against the bill! Any children in your life? Would you rather see them die?

I am the Chairman of the Tidewater Libertarian Party. On behalf of our party I'd like to both thank you and commend you for your courage to do the right thing. Well done - and, by the way - you happen to be MY Congressman and I am glad you voted based on how tha majority of your constituents wanted you to vote - instead of simply looking at the "D" next to your name and blindly following whatever the "party" wants.

Likely Anthem, Optima or Cigna will seek Glen's services as a lobbyist after next years election.

What a tool!

Thank you Congressman Nye. By refusing to toe your party's line on this bill and cap n tax and vote for this disaster you have shown integrity and independent voters will take notice, in my opinion.

Just because SoH Pelosi says it will benefit all of us doesn't make it so. This bill may help some people out but it will do so at the expense of the USA as a whole. It's change we should send back to the kitchen to cook a while longer. A loooong while. Too many Americans are so mesmerized by the prospect of a handout from the government that they don't care if it breaks the bank, trashes the Constitution, and makes the situation worse. Yes, we do need Civics lessons again, as well as some basic economics instruction.

I was shocked when I called his office in DC and he answered. We chatted. He graciously & professionally heard my concerns - essentially there should be at minimum, health care for all I stressed. He agreed. He voted no for this bill. I didn't think I could sway his vote, but he swayed mine. Who can I help defeat him in the Democratic Primary?
