"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."

Preach it, Massa!

Wasn't this suggested as a possible motive before....They were using a "he said/he said incident" to get the vote. Chicagothuggery will stop at nothing....he's lucky to be alive.

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.
