Phil Hare (D-IL) Doesn’t care about the Constitution
Congressman Phil Hare of Illinois is caught on tape saying that he is not worried about what the US Constitution says. Further, he say that he knows that it says that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. The rest of us in the United States knows that the phrase comes from the Declaration of Independence, and again Phil Hare doesn’t care. Phil Hare don’t Care … Did we just stumble upon a campaign slogan for his opponent?

Dowd: “I will never vote for a democrat again.”
In light of the circus act that America just witnessed in our nation’s capital with the passage of this Health Care Bill. I join with the sentiments that Howard Stern made recently on his radio Program. Stern said, “I will never vote for a democrat again.”
I agree with this wavering political pundit, in the form of Howard Stern, and I cast my lot in with his to say that I will not vote for a democrat again. Sterns reasoning might be slightly different from mine, but on the other side of the token, the differences are very much alike.
This Health Care bill is so bad, as many politicians and law experts have reiterated, that it cannot stand on its own merits. In neither the Senate nor the House were their enough votes to pass the bill without arm twisting, bribery, and sweetheart deals promised to the appropriate amount of DEMOCRATS. Not one republican voted for this bill, but it also should be said that not one republican is against some form of health care legislation, but this one has the makings of something not wholesome if we have to cast aside the rule of law and the Constitution to get it passed.

What are the three thing that you wish you could say to Nancy Pelosi?
In a press conference today Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia, aided by other fellow Congressman, called out Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for the underhanded tricks that the Dems are considering in passing the Health Care Bill. The Congressman took up for the rationally minded American citizens by asking three simple questions:
“I have three simple questions for Ms. Pelosi.”
“Are you so arrogant that you think you know what’s best for the American people?”
“Are you so ignorant that you are oblivious to the wishes of the American people?”
“Are you so incompetent that you are going to ignore the Constitution of the United States, use tricks, deceptions, bald face lies, to try to ram down the throat of the American people something that they do not want and is going to be absolutely worse for their health care?”
Be careful Mr. Broun. Language like that might get you elected as the next President of the United States.

Eric Massa rips Democrats for forcing him out of office.
House Representative Eric Massa of New York’s 29th district (that’s your congressman for those of you who live in the Elmira/Corning area) has come under fire with the House ethics committee for, as he put it, using salty language at a New Years Eve party. Some poor staffer got his feelings hurt and and lodged a complaint. Now Massa is now claiming that his party has it out for him for being a No vote on ObamaCare. Assuming that all he says is true, I wish more politicians would shoot from the hip like Massa does here. An interesting note is that the former House ethics committee chairman Charlie Rangel, who is a yes vote, is still in office without pressure to resign from party leadership.
It doesn’t happen in this audio clip, but I just love it when he calls Rahm Emanual “the son of the devils spawn.”
Now Pelosi Cares About Ethics, Cuts Loose Healthcare No Vote Eric Massa
Now Pelosi Cares About Ethics, Cuts Loose Healthcare No Vote Eric Massa.
SusanAnne Hiller has an interesting article over at biggovernment.com concerning some ethics violations from certain house members.
Eric Massa, who is our representative here in New York’s 29th district, just last week announced that he would not seek a second term in office amid a sexual harassment claim from a staffer. At the press conference Massa indicated a recurrence of a bout with cancer was his reason for not seeking another term and that his timely announcement should give another potential candidate enough time to mount a successful bid for the 29th seat. Now we have a report that Massa is resigning effective March 9th. Some say that Massa is being forced out by Nancy Pelosi and crew because of his indiscretions.
Keep in mind that we still have Charlie Rangel poking around DC after the ethics committee found that he violated house rules months ago, with implications of serious corruption charges.
What did Massa do to deserve being thrown out of the house, other than having a potty mouth? Committing to vote No on ObamaCare.
