Eric Massa says Democrats at fault for resignation

Wires services • March 9, 2010


WASHINGTON — Rep.Eric Massa is now blaming his resignation on a conspiracy by House Democratic leaders to force him out before a crucial vote on health care, his third explanation for leaving office after he earlier cited health issues and an ethics inquiry.

One of 39 Democrats who voted against an earlier House version of the health care bill in November, Massa said in his weekly radio address Sunday that Democratic leaders will "stop at nothing" to advance the health care overhaul.

Massa didn't respond to phone calls for comment. The Corning Democrat's resignation became effective at 5 p.m. Monday.

The House version of health insurance reform passed 220 to 215 on Nov. 7. House Democratic leaders are looking ahead to a vote on the Senate-passed bill calculating that they can once again afford to have many members of their party vote in opposition.

Apparently he was on Beck's show tonight and didnt really cast any big stones as such.

We have to wonder about the judgment of these people when they are individually so obviously in the wrong and yet feel so empowered that they go around casting stones at others.
