Rep. Baron Hill on His "Yes" Vote for Obamacare: "I Feel Like I Walked the Plank" (You Did)

Sucker.
US Rep. Baron Hill (D-IN) with his buddy, Barack. (WIBC)
What was your bribe, Representative?
Was it worth it?
Rep. Baron Hill walked the plank for Obamacare yesterday.
Bloomberg reported:
Obama is unlikely to find either Democratic or Republican willingness to work on issues of mutual concern.
“The president just has a limited ability to ask Democrats to cast any more tough votes going forward,” said Vin Weber, a Republican strategist and former congressman from Minnesota.
Said Representative Baron Hill, an Indiana Democrat, “I feel like I am walking the plank.”
“In the short term, it’s going to cost me,” Hill said. “It remains to be seen whether or not people will see the benefits that are in the bill 10 years out.”
Say your good-byes, Representative Hill.
Hill will be a good one to keep tabs on after the November election. Hopefully, the bribe was good enough to offset the time he’ll need to find a new job in this horrid Obama economy.
GOP Leader John Boehner has more on the Democratic hangover today.

I’m guessing you should have thought of that before blindly toeing the party line huh? Better get some boxes together, you’re going to need them. Maybe you and your fellow liberals can get a bulk deal on moving boxes from U-Haul.
Bye now.

Memo To Obama Voters
Seen in comments here:
We have a high-tech business near Chicago. We modeled this “health-control” disaster scenario recently. Since it has now come to pass we are moving R&D and manufacturing over-seas. We will be laying off staff in the US and hiring in China and India. It’s pretty clear others will be following us. All you folks who voted for Obama and his crazy leftist friends – have a nice day. Bye

Dell commented:
Any time an elected American representative, senator or president refuses to zealously represent his/her constituents by voting AGAINST their clear-cut wishes, the price paid will be a swift boot to the curb and a lifetime stigma of failure as an agent of the people.
By doing so, that representative presents us with a powerful case of taxation without representation.
You’ve walked the plank by your own choosing, Hill. You have failed in your oath to represent your constituents and it’s time to pay the price. Please don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out.
Pinkie commented:
Enjoy your next career Congressman. Oh, and there will be no whinning about all of your staffers loosing their jobs because you took a bribe and sold out your own citizens. Your staffers are just going to have to learn to enjoy job hunting in Barrack Obama’s economy. Best wishes, a voter!
Rocko commented:
We need to remember these politicians even after they are voted out of office. I hope Baron Hill finds it difficult if not impossible to find a job in Indiana for the next 50 years. No one should sell them a house. They have screwed the once working people like me so that I can no longer find work. They should feel similar pain. Bankruptcy will be forcing me from my home soon so maybe Baron can feel what it is like not know where you are going to live.
kansas commented:
I remember back in the day when representatives represented the people, not a party or a president.

Sucks when you don’t stand on principle. Feels a little empty standing for party, doesn’t it?

….When the roll is called, I will proudly cast my vote in support of a bill that covers thirty-two million Americans, allows all Americans to access a private insurance exchange similar to the one offered to me and my colleagues, stops the abusive practices of insurance companies, and accomplishes those goals in a fiscally-responsible manner.”
Ginger commented:
We could be rid of this illigal immigrant fraud Barry/Steve/Barack Hussain if president Bush will give us the large folder he has on this fraud.
Ginger commented:
Some one get Busch’s address and we can send him our demands to expose this fraud AND Hillary and Bill Clinton!
Tom of the Missouri commented:
I am not exactly sure how the Congressional benefits work, but don’t these bastards get very generous pensions and health benefits for life after their short service in Congress that we will of course get to pay for for the rest of their lives? Does anyone know? I also think that they get to convert any leftover campaign funds to their personal use when they leave. I wonder if it is taxed? Also we should keep a watch out for the government job he may have been offered for his vote where he will be eligible for another taxpayer funded pension and benefit plan at taxpayer expense. Walk the plank indeed? I wish I had the opportunity to walk such a golden plank.

Do the bribes include a freshly cut horse’s head between the sheets?
Callipygian1 commented:
We have our own weasels in Washington State… Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Jim McDermott, Brian Baird, etc. I will do everything I am legally empowered to do to make their re-elections fail. Baird is retiring, I hope he has a horrid retirement.
I’m going to revise my will to include. “Upon my death I hereby instruct that my votes be used only for Republican or conservative matters” -It’s necessary that I do this; trust me, I live in Washington State.

“In the short term, it’s going to cost me,” Hill said. “It remains to be seen whether or not people will see the benefits that are in the bill 10 years out.”
It’s the black plague to your career and it’s bad for the people, most of whom already knew that and didn’t want you to vote “yes.” So, why’d ya’ sign it anyway, dips**t? Duh.
NeoKong commented:
Isn’t it so sleazy the way all these media outlets that propped up Barack Obama and his boondoggle are all of a sudden in tune with the anger of the voters when up until last night almost every single one of them was accusing Tea Partiers of spitting on black U.S. reps and calling them the n-word.
So now after the vote has been cast they find out how to report the news….?
Shameful.
squeaky commented:
[Hill said. “It remains to be seen whether or not people will see the benefits that are in the bill 10 years out] a lot can happen in 10 years.
waiting 10 years to find out you’ve been fleeced. what a scam.
2Brixshy commented:
Die hill, you traitorous bastard.
The only thing that remains to be seen is how badly you will be beaten in Novembe, scumbag.

So what’s to stop the Dems from seeing how much more they can cram through between now and November, since they know they’re toast already–Cap and Trade, Amnesty, and who knows what else?

“I feel like I am walking the plank.”
you are dude..
[11/19/09: Obama's leniency toward Islam provokes the question of whose and what interests he is really standing for. The man with the name Barack Hussein Obama apologizes for America to Muslim nations while he endorses Islam in America. The socialist plans he has proposed and enacted will force Americans into feudal serfdom, ending the liberty and freedom we cherish today.
With Communism riding the backs of liberal Democrats, and Islamists riding the backs of both, Obama's plans are not just socialist. They form a framework for generations of "dhimmitude," a class status forced upon non-Muslims by coercion and constant fear of reprisal as a result of cowardice, vulnerability, bribery and extortion, while paying "jizya"taxes for the "right" to live as second class citizens. Obama's controversial plans and the resulting taxes are effectively dhimmitude and jizya in accordance to Islamic doctrine-to control dhimmis until they embrace Islam completely.]
unfortunately for all of US, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet..

Obama crooned in his ear, “Yes Rep. Hill, I swear I’ll still love you in the morning…”
karen commented:
Rep.Hill is a wimp and doensn’t belong in Congress. He knew the bill sucked and voted on it anyway. Your telling me he spit in America’s eye cause he wasn’t going to get invited to any more parties? What a weak piece of sh–!
Iconoclast commented:
He will be lucky to get off that lightly.
