"I agree with you, but it's probably not even possible to get a special election in order before the House votes on healthcare (which they are saying should be before Easter)."

I agree a special election won't take place before Easter. I disagree that a House vote will take place before Easter. It may all be a moot point now. He's supposed to resign effective 5:00 PM today, however he said in a radio interview that he may rescind his resignation. This is great. Dem party imploding.

after asserting that an ethics investigation into allegations that he sexually harassed one of his aides may have been orchestrated by Democratic leaders to get him out of office before the health care vote.

This was exactly the scenario I posted the moment they announced the "charges" against him.

While it’s the latest in a string of bad PR the Democrats have taken this week, Massa’s exit will actually help House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her quest to pass health care.

What a coinky-dink!

News of his "sexual harassment" charges found their way into the press a day after he announced that he wouldn't vote for the Senate version of the healthcare bill.

The fact that he wouldn't vote for it because it wasn't leftwing enough is irrelevant. He wasn't obeying orders.

This guy must be reading my posts. He's too stupid to figure out what they were doing to him on his own.

He should rescind his resignation and throw a wrench in their plans...fight them the whole way until they get him removed.

I would be their worst nightmare and I would be on every talk radio and news show I could get on if I were him. Let the dirty politics be known...

There’s nothing fun about this...they’re ramming health care into law...the health care that has to be rammed because we don’t want it and they don’t care. And we can’t stop them. What pisses me off almost more than anything is they aren’t affected by this healthcare.

Whether it becomes an R seat before the health care vote is unlikely - as Gov. Paterson (D) controls the date of the special election.

Paterson hates Obama and the health care bill.

There won't be an appointment before the health care bill but only because Andy Cuomo keeps hiding Paterson's pens.

Of course. It is the same Stalinist tactic that the corrupt Democrats and their partisan allies in the media used in 2006 to take over Congress.

They implied that the Republican from Florida had molested kids. He never touched them but that was the talking point. He was a homosexual. And that bit of “homophobia” was used (combined with the toe tapper) and a partisan smear of Tom DeLay to cry crocodile tears about a “culture of corruption” (TM) that rose the to top ranks of the party.

Except the DNC and media knew MORE and EARLIER about the sexual emails and IM between the Florida congressman and the aide. It came out in the subsequent investigation. CORRUPT, they knew and “did nothing” except to say put it on hold to use as an October Surpise. The health and wellbeing of the (Democrat) aide was not a concern of Nancy Pelosi or the MSM.

If it was true that there was no basis for these allegations he should be fighting tooth and nail. He originally was going to announce he wasn’t running again because of health reasons. Then he announces that he’s stepping down immediately due to ethics investigations. I have to think there is something to the charge even though I don’t want him to step down. The Dems fight tooth and nail even when their guilty. He needs to consult my favorite Democrat on this, Jim Trafficant. You gotta admire a guy that goes down fighting all the way to jail...

Additionally, all of Foley’s emails were published ad nauseum - while we still do not know precisely what activity Massa is accused of.

"Sexual harassment". The MSM and Rats like people to draw their own conclusions. They are more "salty" than what may have happened.

They tried to pull the same stunt when they smeared Carrie Prejean for "posing topless" and then people saw the underwear ads for what they were.

Governor Paterson is under pressure himself...he could schedule and early election just to spite those who are pressuring him!

Barack Hussein Obama is rewarding one of the Rats’ brothers’ with a judicial appointment.

There are payoffs for those who toe the line.

Meanwhile Tom DeLay’s case STILL has not come to trial 4 years later.

Drive this home. If it is such a great deal, then Barack on down need to get in line for the SAME EXACT HEALTCARE system.

No separate but equal care.

...the dems wouldn’t do this strictly to get rid of him because he voted no, would they? nah, can’t be../s

Here's what they do - dems tell their people "anything goes" they got the press in their pocket. Run free - run wild.

It's only "news" when a Republican is involved. It's how they kept the "news" about Byrd being a member of the KKK for all those years. It's how Kennedy - all of 'em - got passes for decades.

What they DON'T tell young dems is if they go off the plantation, they'll sic the dogs on 'em.

And that's what happened here. This guy is an "EXAMPLE" to all those who don't want to pay for "protection"...

They're effing thugs. Period.

Fox played the radio tape this morning. Again, Fox News is in the Dem’s chicken coop exposing them.
