Preach it, Massa!
I thought this was important to post. Thank you for the ping help -everybody should see this !
Like the victims of the Bolsheviks, the Democrats never imagined THEY would be the victims of Obamunism.
How many destroyed careers for daring to stand up to the radical Insanocrats does this make, now?
Off the top of my head, I can count Dodd, Paterson, Massa, with Blanche Lincoln on the choppong block, as well.
Yeah right...lame ass!
A.
And that is the way sexual harassment law has been written and currently interpreted.
Well, obviously, there’s more to it that he’s hoping won’t come out. If it’s as simple as he describes, and if he really believes leaders are trying to force him out....then wouldn’t he stay around for the vote just to stick it to them? Must be something else they know...something we’ll never know now that he’s caved to their demand.
The minute I heard about his intention to resign on Monday, I thought, “Hmmm. Kind of like Rahm leaving a dead fish on your doorstep”. He’s resigning to keep more damaging info from coming out. And it’s a two-fer: the rest of their caucus has been sent a message: “Do it our way our you’re next”.
Yep. He’s undoubtedly right about his own party doing him in and for what. But almost by definition there’s more than he’s ‘copped’ to—or he’d be sitting tight. But it’s good that he’s at least speaking up this much.
Well, I’d feel better if he were sticking around to vote “no”.
Hmmmm. Writing that made me wonder how much pressure was applied to get him to flip to “yes”? I bet that’s what they were going for.
There’s a lot more to this story. But since it’s a Dem, the media will simply drop it now that he’s resigned.
No question they’ve been pressing for a ‘yes’—but a forced resignation is just as useful for them on this one key vote.
"Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill and this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill, and now they've gotten rid of me and it will pass. You connect the dots."
So why is he quitting then? There is no reason he has to quit just because of a false ethics charge, if that’s what it is. He could hang around as long as necessary.
If he wanted to prove his point, he should have offered to switch his vote, and seen that the investigation was squashed — then he could have voted no and resigned.
They might have made him a deal he could not refuse: Leave the House or leave this World. Your choice.
The words, “ethics” and “Democrat “ should never be used in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence.
“So why is he quitting then?”
Exactly! It doesn’t add up.
Am I missing something? Nothing in the article tells us why it became necessary for him to RESIGN today. Why didn't he just keep his seat until his term ends?
Are we supposed to be more shocked at the charges against Massa than with Rangle's corrupt misdeeds. Are we not supposed to notice that the Ethics Committee moved at lightening speed to coerce Massa but took over a year to lightly admonish Rangle for just one of his multiple criminal misdeeds? I DON'T THINK SO!
He should have used a wire or hidden camera and released the threats etc on youtube.
Massa also described a profanity-filled conversation he had with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel after he voted against the president’s health care legislation last year. Massa called on Emanuel to resign for his own use of profane language during the phone call.
“Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn,” Massa added. “He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive.”
Whoa...
