Comrads and Comradettes what you produce isn’t for you but for the good of the state.
To each their needs from each their ability.

What, exactly, do you propose he say? The stimulus money is to stimulate the economy. It is our tax dollars and it should go to us. Why, on God’s green earth would he give it back?
The Netroots quote is taken out of context. The loud minority, does not a majority make. He campaigned on meaningful health care reform. That is what he is sticking with. Imagine that? A congressman who delivers on his campaign promises.
Oh, and Sam Adams-The grammatically correct phrase would be, “To each his needs, from each his ability”, (Still not sure what that one means.)

  @ Clare – ““To each his needs, from each his ability”, (Still not sure what that one means.)” – Which is why you’re supporting Massa.

@ clare – If you actually thought about what you said you would realize that it doesn’t make sense. Your district is paying far more for the stimulus than you are getting back. It makes no sense to stay tied into an investment that will pull more money out of the district than put in!

@CGen,
So if Eric were able to give the money back, then our district would get NONE of it back.
Think about what YOU’RE saying.

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need(s).”
OH, THAT’S what you were trying to say.
YES! absolutely! “We are here to lift each other up, not to push each other down.” (and that is a quote from my 23 year old son)
And, I don’t follow Massa, I lead Massa. He works for us, and in turn we will work for him. Best candidate ever! So far, best congressman ever. Listens to his constituents, even the misinformed. 64 town halls and counting, and now he’s taking the weekend off to read the most current health care legislation before he makes a comment on it.
