Video - Rep. Massa: I will vote against the interests of my district
washingtontimes.com - Water Cooler ^ | 8/16/09 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 08/16/2009 11:33:17 AM PDT by paltz

Representative Eric Massa (D- NY) addressed an intimate group of Net Roots activists during their annual Net Roots Nation gathering in Pittsburgh this weekend. Mr. Massa reiterated his support for a single payer health care bill. He discussed the risks he takes for wanting to support such a measure in his "right wing Republican district."

According to Swing State Project, Mr. Massa won his 2008 race by two percentage points. The voting pattern index (PVI) is a Republican +5 seat. The National Republican Congressional Committee has the upstate New York congressman in their sights for 2010 along with 69 other House Democrats as reported by Politico. The transcript is below, and check out the corresponding video above

This guy is my rep, and I am completely disgusted. I’ve written letter after letter, and went to his town hall metting and he still does not listen. He is far worse than the RINO who voted for TARP that he replaced.

Sounds like he’s the one saying “Yes, Massa”

What bothers me most about this is the sureness he has about voting against the constituents.

I’ve wondered for a while what Pelosi has promised and how she is going to deliver the votes next year.

It can’t be anything but fraud.

MASSA: I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful.

Just wow! I hope somebody sends this to his district's local GOP.

He does not care........because he knows the party will generate the votes dead or alive he has the votes.

What’s with all the zombies? They’ll do their evil master’s work and the heck with the voters. He needs to be shown the door.

Massa has one of New York's famously gerrymandered districts which was once solidly rural and Republican but which was rejiggered to include Rochester's southernmost, upscale liberal suburbs.

And to make matters worse, the other end of the district (Chautauqua County) was cut out and combined with liberal Buffalo. Guess whose voters win that race?

He has totally lost sight of what "representative" means.

“I’ve wondered for a while what Pelosi has promised and how she is going to deliver the votes next year.

Absolutely. This is, as he says in this video, the most conservative district in at least the state (he says contry, but I think he exaggerates). Our RINO got the boot for not listening and I can’t imagine this guy doing the same thing and not sharing the same fate.

What Pelosi has planned? You think all that “unspent” stimulus money will suddenly appear in all Dem districts at risk in 2010? I do.

I’m in Rochesters’s southernmost suburb (NE Ontario County) It is NOT liberal. This ahole won by 1.6%, mainly by riding Obie’s coattails....
