I wouldn't put it past the Democrats

Rep Eric Massa is claiming he is being forced out of office by his party leadership because he was going to vote no on Health Care.

Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) says the House ethics committee is investigating him for inappropriate comments he made to a male staffer on New Year's Eve — and that he's the victim of a power play by Democratic leaders who want him out of Congress because he's a "no" vote on health care reform.

"Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill," Massa, who on Friday announced his intention to resign, said during a long monologue on radio station WKPQ. "And this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they've gotten rid of me and it will pass. You connect the dots."

Massa insisted that he did not know the basis of a House ethics committee investigation into his conduct until after he announced his retirement last Wednesday, and he took House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) to task for going public with information related to the probe before it is completed


People try and say it is the Republicans who aren't inclusive. When it is the complete different way. If you're a Democrat and you even think about voting against the leadership you will be forced out.

Hopefully more and more Democrats will learn from this. If they band together they won't have to be ruled by Nancy Pelosi in the House. If they want to save the once great Democratic party they should band together and take the party back over.
