"So Joey, you ever like to hang out around the showers at the Congressional Gym?"
And I don’t think it matters one whit how messed up Massa is or not.
His response to having to resign is classic “you put one dem in da morgue” Chicago pushback. If it’s all a huge lie, that makes it an even better classic Chicago pushback.
The point here is that we are in a situation where the general public can’t help but wonder if the President of the United States really would go so far as this to destroy his own party members for the sake of his own legacy.
What’s funny is that the tyrant in chief is crying that the bill can’t get passed because of “politics”. that it should be passed for “legacy” and “history”. Snicker.
AND THEN his chief of staff and the Congressional leaders pull THIS stunt!
Yes, the fact that the WH and Rat leaders would push this guy out AT ALL is hysterical considering their long and storied past of lurid scandals -— including, oh, the Sinkmeister in the Oval Office.
There’s no way this offends the Rats. It’s what they are fighting for: the “right” to moral nihlism. So, regardless of what Massa did or did not do, if he got any kind of pressure to resign, that’s mighty suspicious. I can guarandamntee he wasn’t pressured to resign because he’s an immoral cretin. That just doesn’t happen in the Rat party.
Democrats. Rules. Never the two shall meet.
Rush has been a bit cautious ever since the Vince Foster business. I guess he has to be.
Golly, I'm quite sure that Obambi is the worst politician in modern American history. He has ZERO political skills. ZERO political instincts. Zero, zero, zero. He never, ever seems to understand, or have any intuition at all about, how what he says plays into the political context and backdrop he himself has created.
How long before Rahm & the RATS dig others out of the woodwork to make more claims?
As I said on another thread:
Even if this is a complete lie on Massa’s part, the funny thing is the lie plays brilliantly into the political meme that Obambi will stop at nothing to SCREW AMERICANS by forcing healthcare down their throats.
IOW, just the discussing of Massa’s story powerfully reinforces the negative reactions most Americans are already having at the gag-me thought of reconciliation and, indeed, of how from Day One this President has done nothing but lie to and try to snooker and cramdown on the American people.
Even if Massa’s interpretation of events is a complete fabrication and a deliberate lie, it still is illustrative of the state of politics (the Chicago Way) in the Rat party right now.
Obambi has put them into a position that they are going to tear into each other any which way they think they need to to save their political skin. (Well, except, maybe, vote against healthcare.) The Rat party is now in the semi-delicious state of rat-eat-rat, every man,etc. for himself. This demonstrates beyond all doubt that Obambi is leading his party like lemmings off a political cliff.
And, yes, that EPICFAIL on Obambi's part is salvation for the country.
Let it be so, Lord. Amen!
While the bloodsport of Chicago style political takedowns can be something to watch, I’d much rather get it on record that the public opposes this fiasco because WE REJECT SOCIALISM.
He needs to file a sexual assault charge against Rahm “The Towel-less” Emanuel for poking him in the Congressional Shower Room.
Cautious, I guess. I don’t see any reason to fly to the guy’s defense or even believe him. So I don’t see what there is to be cautious about. As Rush would say, it is what it is.
The point is not whether Massa is a good guy or even telling the truth. But, lawdhavemercy, he is making it very clear that the hardscrabble Rats’ whose political be-hinds are on the line have had just about enough of the amateur man-child Don.
They’re saying, “You want the Chicago Way, boss? Here’s the Chicago Way. You push a snake, you get bit. Right, wrong, lies, truth, doesn’t matter. You get bit with everything I got.”
Amen.
That’s an excellent point, but it’s good that the two are so intertwined in this case that Chicago style thuggery exemplifies Socialist political tactics.
Oh, I think that's on the record, big-time. Problem is that the President and his party don't care what the American people think.
The President has chosen to go against the American people on healthcare. The President has chosen to put his party in great political jeopardy. To the extent his own party will hit him with a Chicago takedown, I'm for it. We need all the help we can get in stopping this man.
It needs to get into history books. This was the problem with Hillarycare’s defeat. 20 years later we are looking at the same legislation.
NO NADA. Do not want.
Don’t let them pin it off to “politics” or “racism” or “Rahm Emanuel’s handling of things”. It’s the socialism.
And Ronald Reagan’s arguments against socialized medicine ring true today (from 1961, before his career in politics).
Barack is on record saying that under his proposal, private insurance will go away even if it takes 20 years. We know the end goal. We won’t get on the path at all.
As for Massa, who insists that the foremost reason he's stepping aside is his recurring cancer, it's simply unclear who did what and when. But one thing is certain: Massa's resignation and his falling out with fellow Democrats can only add to growing public discontent with the party.
The stage has been set for another national referendum on President Obama's administration and health care reform, again in upstate New York.
I just did some research on Ron Hikel who is reported to be the chief of staff of Massa, the one who reported it.
He gave two fair size donations to Massa’s campaign. My question is why would he do that if he felt there was a problem. Surely if he was his chief of staff he knew him well enough to know that prior to giving the donations.http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/ronald-hikel.asp?cycle=08
This stinks to me!
