Honesty From A Congressman – He Doesn’t Care About the Constitution

By Parrothead Jeff, on 2 April 2010

You’ve known it. I’ve known it. Now at least one of the people who inhabit Capitol Hill has come clean about it.

Confronted by an angry blogger with a camera Thursday, an Illinois congressman said in front of several constituents that he doesn’t care whether the new health care law violates the Constitution, as some critics have claimed.

Blogger AllahPundit from the conservative Web site HotAir.com asked Rep. Phil Hare which part of the Constitution authorizes the government to mandate that all Americans buy a private product such as health insurance. The Illinois Democrat replied, “I don’t worry about the Constitution on this.”

“Jackpot, brother,” AllahPundit said.

Allahpundit can be found here.

Someone indict this jerk for breaking his Oath.

More on this later tonight…

Oh, but I’m so sure (snark, snark) it was “misunderstood” or “taken out of context” or some lame excuse so he can back pedal.

Pfffttt!!!

Well, he’s trying to backpedal, but I don’t think it’s going to work when that video hits the campaign ads

3-7-77. Need I say more? And it should be very interesting indeed when the proverbial bovine excrement hits the rotating air moving device. Hey! I still got it!
