“When I voted against the cap-and-trade bill, the phone rang and it was...” — Eric Massa Quote

When I voted against the cap-and-trade bill, the phone rang and it was the chief of staff of the president of the United States of America, Rahm Emanuel, and he started swearing at me in terms and words that I hadn't heard since that crossing the line ceremony on the USS New Jersey in 1983.

In health care, the biggest imperative is: Fix those who cannot get insurance without changing the world for everyone else.

I happen to believe that health care is an imminent crisis. It is.

I'm collateral damage. I'm road kill. And in 72 hours, nobody is going to remember who I am nor are they going to care.

I am leaving because I have to fight simultaneously a potential recurrence of cancer the Democratic leadership, a health care bill that's going to destroy this country, my opposition to it and a belief that my party has become what it became - what it campaigned against.

I came from a broken home and have been so concerned about my own family that divorce has not even been in my vocabulary. It's against everything I ever believed in.

Some people are ok with doing nothing all day after they retire, but then some people if they had nothing to do would go mad and start banging their heads against a wall.

I am not protesting against the conduct of the war, but against the political errors and insincerities for which the fighting men are being sacrificed.

I don't have any personal grudge against Vince Russo, but I just know watching the shows that all his shows look the same.
