First, the author of the article says:

“Massa opposed Obamacare because it wasn’t liberal enough – because it didn’t entirely nationalize health care with a single-payer system – and Beck is about to crown him queen of the tea party.”

Then the author of the article says:

“Eric Massa was one of 39 House Democrats who voted against health care reform. A third of those Democrats were, like Massa, newly elected. All but one of them was, like Massa, from districts that voted for John McCain. A good chunk of them were, like Massa, in districts which had recently elected Republicans.

Of the 39 Democrats who opposed health care reform, Eric Massa had the fifth-smallest margin of electoral victory.

Put another way, he won the seat by the skin of his teeth and if he didn’t mind his P’s and Q’s, he would lose it.

So he was expected to vote against health care. His constituents didn’t want it, and he had to oppose it. That was understood by all, including the Democratic leadership of the House.”

Ok, author of article, you can’t have it both ways. Methinks you lie like a dog to put forth your own twist on this story, it being, that Massa is a liar, but it appears you are a liar too author. Seems to be a common trait among Dems.
