I have a question. Why did he leave now? Why not wait until the vote. I think I’d be so mad at the WH that I would hang in the until the bill was voted for just to pi## the WH off. But that’s just me...Something is fishy here.

Massa offended the Rahm.

Massa has been excommunicated by Rahm.

If the stories about him hitting on male staff members are true, he was probably given an offer he couldn’t refuse. So he was only too happy to get out of there.....pronto.....which he DID.

Maybe more embarrassing or corrupt accusations by the Obama Administration he is planning on hiding that would make him have to step down anyways...after all he is a Rat.

One vote closer to Obamacare.

One vote closer to a Second Civil War. The States and the People will resist this. Every State should openly refuse to comply and the People, if they love freedom, need to vote out the Democrats (including "Blue Dogs") and any RINOs in the Congress. In November, it's Liberalism or the Constitution that survives.

Massa found out that Rahm can put a homosexual staffer in his office without detection.

Interesting.

So how many of those pukes are there in the House now? It's not like the public didn't vote against having homosexuals on the House staff in 2006 ~

That is the best audio tape of Massa I have heard today and it makes me have respect for him in standing up against the DEM leadership. Tomorrow on Beck and Larry King will be very intersting to say the least!

Someone posted a question earlier...

What was Emanuel doing in the Congressional Gym and Showers, don’t they have the Prez’s gym for the WH/Staff?

I don’t know, will someone with knowledge chime in?

INVESTIGATE the strong arm tactics of Obama subverting the will of the people by threatening and using extortion methods to force the legislative branch to vote a certain way. Certainly there are tons of felonys that have taken place maybe I lawyer can be specific about potential laws that were broken regarding current testimoney of Rep Massa.

Investigate, Impeach, Imprison

All of his ranting and raving, and then he goes meekly offstage and into the night.

You’re right, the whole thing doesn’t make sense.

Nobody is going to "investigate". The fuming will die down in a couple of days, after we've been duly subjected to a few more daily outrages. To distract us.

Massa was willing to bow out since he and Rahm despise each other and on his way out he put a good lashing on the ballerina for payback. He sees the writing on the wall and won’t win his district anyway... probably glad to be out of politics at this point is my guess.
