Congressman Boldly Defies Pleas of Constituents


A video released by the Washington Times shows Representative Eric Massa, a New York Democrat in a predominantly Conservative district, saying to a riled Town Hall gathering, "I will adamantly vote against the interests of my district if I actually think what I'm doing is going to be helpful."


Repeatedly, concerned citizens in the crowd challenged Rep. Massa on his determination to pursue a single player system despite his district's majority opposition. Time and time again, even facing an 80/20 hypothetical majority against single payer, Rep. Massa rejected their pleas and stood firm. He will vote according to his own desires.


Not only does Massa appear to have no regard for the Constitution, his plain willingness to make the will of his constituents subordinate to his own bears more than a slight resemblence to socialist leadership.


I won't name names.


However, this is just the sort of thing that continues to drive HR 3200 into the ground and further divide the DNC.

  1. Haha. Good idea...NOT. What Genius, bite the hand that feeds you because you think you know what is better for people than people do for themselves. (Is there a sickle and hammer somewhere around this guy?).

    I think he should just vote against his constituents wishes, that way, he can make sure a conservative (Hopefully) will get his job.
