Surprise: Democrat Who Won New York 23 Race Already Breaking Promise On Government Health Care
That didn’t take long:
Congressman-elect Bill Owens was sworn in at noon today.
Owens indicated in a press release that he was now in favor of the bill in direct contrast to his earlier position during his campaign.
According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the public option had no place in the health care reform bill. Contrary to that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor of the bill even though it now contains a public option.
Funny how Democrats usually campaign with conservative stances on issues only to turn around and become true-liberals once in office. Even Obama did it. Remember all his talk about transparency and tax cuts and responsible spending? Once in office he broke those promises almost immediately.
Meanwhile, Republicans plan to vote unanimously against Pelosi care. That unified opposition will allow them to hang this ugly bill around the neck of Democrats later, but that’s cold comfort once we’re all locked into a government-run system.
