Rep. Massa Blast Dems: He Was Set Up…Hoyer Lied…May Rescind Resignation "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. breitbart.tv

Kenny, Did you forget to put your spectacles on? Or are your reading skills fading? From the article: Voters not affiliated with either major political party heavily favor Republicans on health care, 45% to 29%.

I don't know. I can't speculate about that. I doubt it wasn't included because of any suspected result. That would be contrary to the purpose of polling. I will have to look.

Why are Pelosi and Obama attacking Rep. Massa. Once a dem plays duck,duck,goose with a male staffer he becomes a protected class.

Although Republicans are trusted more than Democrats on the issue of health care, as has been the case since early August, voters are now more evenly divided: 45% place their trust in Republicans, while 42% trust Democrats more. In early February, Republicans led Democrats by 12 points on this issue. Voters not affiliated with either major political party heavily favor Republicans on health care, 45% to 29%.

A Big Snow Job investors.com In February, the Gallup report shows, some 19.8% of Americans reported that they were underemployed or not employed at all. That's one out of five workers — and even more than the 15 million unemployed estimated by the government. What's troubling is the obliviousness of Washington to this problem — the utter cluelessness they have about the most basic economic principles that guide our economy. With businesses struggling and fearful about the future, all the talk in Washington is about more reckless spending and taxing. They push ahead with a $2.5 trillion plan to take over 17% of the economy, while both Social Security and Medicare run on fumes and hover near bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Democrats think of the tax bonanza they'll get from letting President Bush's 2003 tax cuts expire at the end of this year, but don't consider that it will devastate the economy. Add to that cap-and-trade, new "fees" levied on banks, and the Obama administration's pledge to hammer those with incomes above $200,000 — that is, our entrepreneurial class — with higher taxes, and it's not hard to see why new jobs aren't being created. Talk of a business-killing "value-added tax" emerging from President Obama's deficit commission isn't helping, either.
