The newest member of congress, Bill Owens, from the famed New York state 23rd district is making the job of his probable opponent, Conservative/Republican Doug Hoffman easier by breaking four campaign promises and voting for the abominable Obamacare scam yesterday.
I mean, most politicians wait oh, about a week at least, before breaking the major promises of their campaigns. But no, Mr. Owens could not wait but for a day and BAM! He votes for Obamacare. Lock, stock and barrel.
According to this report, Mr. Owens had told voters in the recently concluded special election that he won that he could not vote for a public option.
SURPRISE!
The public option is the "highlight" of this bill.
Mr. Owens also said that he was against that massive cuts in Medicare that was supposedly going to help fund this monstrosity.
SURPRISE!
There are hundred of billions of cuts in Medicare. And this is according to www.factcheck.org.
Mr. Owens said that he does not favor tax hikes that would fund this government takeover of health care delivery.
SURPRISE!
Of course there are tax hikes. And allowing for temporary tax cuts, the Bush tax cuts, to expire.
And most odious, but not surprising, Mr. Owens said that he did not favor allowing illegal aliens to be a part of this scam.
SURPRISE!
Of course to pay off the support of Hispanic Caucus, there will be no prohibition to illegal aliens being allowed to be part of the government-run health care delivery scam.
Amazing!
Four promises broken in one piece of legislation.
Doug Hoffman is noting this, I am certain. This will be an issue next year. In fact, it may be THE issue next year.
I hope that Mr. Owens does not get all that comfy in Washington. Votes matter and this maybe the vote that costs Mr. Owens his job. As it should be.
