Congressman Pete Olson won't give up his, but will vote to give up YOURS!

Note: Congressman Pete Olson (R-TX, Tom DeLay's old district) has a pre-existing condition which requires the use of a pacemaker. Lucky for him, his government provided health care, paid for by taxpayers, covers per-existing conditions. He is free to change policies without fear of being denied coverage or dropped. And if he retires from Congress, he will have his insurance protection for the rest of his sorry ass life.

Olson is a true believer of the "free market" yet declined to give up his socialized medicine. Each session Congress Members have the option to decline the government provided health care, but Olson declined to decline.

3. People like this make me physically ill.

How do they look themselves in the mirror each morning? Do they actually tell themselves that they deserve it more than some middle class person who is about to lose his house, his car and his family because the medical bills are piling up?

Trash, pure trash.

Looks like he is comfortable with his hypocrisy:

Representative Pete Olson (TX-22) - Representative Pete Olson showed his hypocrisy after asking the Obama Administration for three billion in funds for NASA from the economic recovery act, which he voted against. Members of the Texas delegation signed the letter, including two Republican Senators and 19 House Republicans who all voted against the recovery act in February.

4. Do any of them actually decline coverage?

5. Democrats should put amendments on the bill that would require it.

Then let them vote it down and change the wording a little an put it right back on. They played around with every bill we tried to pass - we can do it also and with more umph.
