Well folks, please give your condolences to Grail Guardian as this dipstick is her congressman. Yes, I know, I am saddled with Mazie, Daniel, Daniel, and Neil but still?! There is a reason we call them non-representatives.
GG’s Non-Rep. Massa (D-NY) does not qualify for the “Honorary Democratic A** Award” like Sen. Lindsey Graham because he is a democrat, and due to that fact, I agree with reader Kathy that a new award category is appropriate because this goes WAAAAYYYYY beyond Today’ AYFKM? Award.
Non-Rep. Massa will be receiving the White House and Congressional “Let Them Eat Cake Award” for unbelievable audacity, cluelessness, and shredding of our Constitution.
Massa contends that he will only vote for a healthcare bill that includes a single payer option, and states:
…I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to help…
This guy is a complete POS that needs to READ THE CONSTITUTION, and be sent back to economics school; if he ever attended.
New Yorkers? Are you going to allow this mental reject drunk on power to ruin your lives and the lives of future generations with socialized medicine and whatever else Bambi wants?
Thought I’d share one of the responses I got when I emailed this link.
GG – OMG people are freakin’ stupid. “Healthcare Reform”, Cap and Trade and the rest of the crap they are shoving through is all about destroying the middle class and small businesses. They are striving to have 2 classes; lords and serfs – and just think about the percentage of home mortgages owned by Fannie, Freddie and the Banks? You know I could go on and on and on AND SO COULD YOU! It’s time to flip the whole congress and put in middle class businessmen and women who understand economics and set up term limits. No more free salary for the rest of your life after you serve. You gotta be coming from a job and going back to a job.
The next thing to go is the commercial real estate market. They are doing the exact same thing they did in the residential market last year. It’s all a matter of when… probably by year-end or first half of next year at the latest.

These people have no understanding of basic economics. This is one of many reasons why I have not jumped back into the market yet. The current gains we have seen are about to get wiped out again, if my read on this is correct.
Dug – we are so screwed. I wrote about this back in April and have been following it since last year.

DT… I had not seen those particular posts… I think those were before I came on the site. But, not surprised this has been coming for awhile.
People keep asking me why I am still keeping my 401K out of stocks… they look at me like I have lost my mind. But, so far this year… I am still on the positive side… at least not losing anything. These same people are still losing their shirts and it is about to get worse.
If these administration idiots could have chosen all the worst possible things to do to prevent economic recovery… they have chosen them all. One can only come to the conclusion it is by design… no one with half an economic brain would be doing what they are doing, otherwise.
I agree with Dug, I think you couldn’t brew up a more perfect storm… By the time the economy recovers, we’re going to have to pay back trillions in “stimulus”.

Justin? Pay back? LOL!
GG- “There are none so blind as those who will not see”
One thing is for sure in the next election, Massa’s opponent is going to have a hell of a sound bite. If this bill gets rammed through and is the disaster we all know it will be , Massa has handed this next election over to who ever.
GG do you think you might be interested in the position?
DT- pass the duct tape…I think my head is about to explode!
It doesn’t surprise me in the least that this unrepresentative would say he would vote against the “interests” of his constituents. There are plenty of POSs just like him. And what it tells me is the guy has been bought off by someone. After this video goes viral I think it safe to say that his chances of re-election are zero.
Kathy,
I’ve considered the Get Out of Our House route seriously. My only hesitation is that it would commit me to remaining in New York, which I’m not 100% sure I’m willing to do.
Listening to this dip stick, however, is making me weigh my options again…
Wes Clark would be so proud…(Clark the opportunist himself…)
Massa DOES have balls…but he’s playing in the wrong game.
However, most are. They are party members. Like Republican party members, they follow the leader, more so now that Democrats usually do.
You have to remember that the Republicans are no better!!
I dread them being back in power, too…
GRL,
You’re preaching to the choir here about democrats and republicans being different sides of the same coin.
What amuses me so much about Massa is that he’s been running for this seat literally for years and finally won by a very narrow (2%) margin, basically because his republican opponent was such a scumbag no one could stand him any more. Now it looks like we’ve got the same problem all over again. Methinks Mr. Massa will be a bit easier to unseat, though. I just hope this doesn’t inspire his predecessor to run for his old job again, though…
