Rep. Massa Blast Dems: He Was Set Up…Hoyer Lied…May Rescind Resignation
Breitbart ^ | March 08, 2010

(Audio at link)

"When I voted against the cap and trade bill, the phone rang and it was the chief of staff to the president of the United States of America, Rahm Emanuel, and he started swearing at me in terms and words that I hadn't heard since that crossing the line ceremony on the USS New Jersey in 1983," Massa said. "And I gave it right back to him, in terms and words that I know are physically impossible."

Editor's note: In another section of the interview Massa hints that he may rescind his resignation: “I’m not going to be a Congressman as of 5 o’clock [Monday] afternoon. The only way to stop that is for me to rescind my resignation. That’s the only way to stop it. And the only way that’s going to happen is if this becomes a national story.” See the Roll Call link below for more.

He’s got to stay in office until his term runs out.

Wouldn’t it be great if everyone of the Reps/Sens in DC that are being pressured like this would also step forward. To he** with the skeletons in the closet...just step up and do the right thing for the country!!!

I picked an address in his district, and sent him an e-mail begging him not to resign. Certainly all those in his district should do so, and others can do the same if you get past the “local only” filter.

Another dem is going to find out how hard it get when the msm doesn’t love you anymore,when you get in the way of the DNC and the national march to socialism.

Republicans deal with this every day. It’s sort of funny to watch libs get shocked by this, though. One of the great things from campaign 2008 was watching the Clintons flail when the press didn’t cover for them anymore.

True. The story is building steam and NBC Chicago is running it.

I believe everything he said. But....he was a republican then switched to the democrats over the war in Iraq.

I say: sucks to be you.

This administration is loaded with class A thugs.

This may be off topic a bit, but it deals with the Pennsylvania Mafia, headed by THE ONE and Rahm Emmanuel

There is something very unnerving about the `false` rumor of Robert's resignation last Friday too.
They even have a cover story, now, about it coming from the Georgetown Univ. Law School...

I do not believe it. THOERY : I think they had something personal, not ethical, on Roberts (gay?)... But that Roberts probably told them, if they proceed with any `story`, that the SCOTUS might invoke the certiori (takes 4 justices-Thomas, Scalia, Alito, and Roberts) and hear a birth certificate case. They could issue an order to release the Birth Certificate.

Rahm & THE ONE backed down and created the Georgetown cover story...

I beg your indulgence for the above...but it seems in line with the Massa stuff...

Massa served in uniform and sounds like a better man than Juan McCain. Can he jump ship and be a Indep or a Repub?

Massa is a lot of hot air unless he “unresigns” today. Maybe he is trouble because nobama and his wife have difficulty calling his name (i.e., “Massa?”)

The defeat of this things is going to have to come from a democrat, maybe this democrat. There are probably other democrats standing by silently supporting this guy. Next political target could be them.
