At Wednesday's health care forum in Little Rock with Rep. Vic Snyder, Rep. Mike Ross said this to the audience - most of whom were there to show their disapproval with the Obamacare plan:
"I've said this several times but let me see if I can make it a little more clear," Ross said. "I don't represent Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi or President Obama or (House Finance Committee Chairman) Barney Frank."
In order to let you make your own conclusion as to the "truthiness" of Mr. Ross' remarks, I point you to the fact that he voted for the Obama-Pelosi-Frank-backed porkulus and omnibus spending bills in the 111th Congress, the $3.6 trillion budget, as well as the draconian Democrat House rules package which limited Republican ways to debate and amend legislation.
However, he did oppose the cap and tax bill, for which we are grateful.
I doubt this mans voting record and direct comparison with leadership would ever be known if not for Internet reporting.
You have no idea how badly we are hated.
