Tea Party Movement Activists: Healthcare-Massa Deal Chicago Thug Style
By Julie Smith on March 9, 2010, 6:30 amRep. Eric Massa announced his retirement effective yesterday at 5 p.m. According to Massa he is retiring due to the return of his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Some speculate the cause is much deeper than his health. You can bet that this controversy is not over according to some Tea Party Movement activists.
Harassed Out Of Office
Massa has been under investigation for allegedly sexually harassing a younger male staffer; Massa denies these charges. Some say that the information about the investigation was leaked in order to pick up another vote for health care reform. It should be noted that Massa was a ‘nay’ vote on the bill. Massa took to the airwaves Sunday on local the local radio station, WKPQ 105.3 FM, and accused his party of forcing him out because he opposes health care reform. Massa went so far as to say that he was confronted in the House shower by Rahm Emanuel.
Health Care Bill
What does this mean for the health care bill? As you would expect, this brings down the votes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi needs to pass the bill. Now the number needed stands at 216. News of Massa’s resignation has been a hit to groups such as the Tea Party Movement, whose core message is reining in government spending. They are avidly against the health care reform bill, so much so that 200 protesters turned out to voice their disapproval at President Barack Obama’s health care reform speech at Arcadia University in Glenside, Pa. Many went so far as to holding signs that denounced Obama’s proposals. Massa could end up being even more of a threat to the health care reform bill as well as his party because now he has nothing to lose and nobody to stop him with the accusations even though he has resigned.

In some cities Narco Cops are replaced every six months in order to keep them honest. Becoming too familiar with drug dealers has led to corruption. The same system should be used with politicians. The longer they stay in office the more crooked they become. The search for an honest man is never ending. They live only in heaven. Don’t expect any politician to be Gods gift to the public. If you do you will be disappointed.
