He wanted to negotiate instead of exposing this hostile anti freedom takeover of our government? And now he's not even sorry for how he voted take away our freedoms? I'm glad he's gone! He's a prime example of why the gov keeps growing and choking off more of our freedoms! Good bye and good riddance!

Mr. bennett has just retired in shame. Saying he would have still voted the same but a few votes even knowing it would cost him his career. He sold the people out and blaimed the tea party. Good ridance!

@wired55 My God you people are short sighted and stupid. I'm so glad you've been proven wrong and lost.......AGAIN. Did you not listen to anything the man said? He's advocating for you. You people are too stupid to feel embarrassed with your nonsense! LOL

He talks about "market forces" needed to take hold in health care. He must not be speaking of "free market forces" because last time I checked there is nothing free about the government coercing me to buy health ins.

But it's done from the free market

[wired55]

This lying scum claims "power to the people" where his bill actually takes away the prerogative of the individual over how he spends his money. total and complete textbook-socialism.
