“If you get to the final point and you are a critical vote for health care reform and every piece of evidence tells you if you support the bill you will lose your job, would you cast the vote and lose your job?” CNN’s John King asked Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado on Sunday’s State of the Union.
“Yes,” Bennet bluntly and simply replied.
So Bennet is boldly and shamelessly stating for all the world to hear – that he does not intend to vote the way his constituents want him to – but rather along party lines, on a matter with (imho) grave constitutional ramifications…But that’s not the quote of the day, this is…
When your “representative” thinks it’s his job to represent Ze Pahty rather than his constituency, he’s a friggin’ tyrant. There’s no other way to put it. He shouldn’t just lose his seat. He should lose his head. -
