Your examples are hyperbole, and don;t even fit your criteroa of being ethically and morally right.
Does the government have an unconstitutional right to determine YOUR level of medical care and your ACCESS to medical resources?
That’s the question. It is neither moral nor ethical for the government to do either.
So for Mr. Massa to say he is voting against his constitutents in this matter is both immoral and unethical.
I chose extreme examples to make a point: To say there would never be an instance where an elected representative could not be conflicted by his or her own definition of morality or ethicallity—vs his constituents—is naieve.
If you are correct, the civil rights movement would have been stillborn. Some democrat and a potload of pubbie office holders voted for the end of segregation in the face of what their constituents wanted.
If you are correct, many Congresscritters voted for women’s suffrage despite what a majority of their contsituents wanted.
That said, I am most vigorously opposed to Obamacare. But not because of a moral or ethical issue. I oppose it because I believe it is born of a political system that has failed where ever it’s been tried. And, I believe the primary reason dems and RINOs are pushing Onadacare has more to do with power than it does my health. I also believe the program will be mismanaged just like every other government program that has been implemented.
The government, afterall, is a far larger generator of fraud, waste and abuse than the private sector.
