Representative Bart Stupak, D-MI, one of the Congressmen who sold their souls (apparently for billions of your hard-earned dollars in earmarks to their districts) to Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and changed their votes to "yes" on the President's health "care" Ponzi scheme at the last minute, has made a surprise announcement that he will not be seeking reelection in November.
Question - if imposing such an unconstitutional requirement for every American to buy a product they may or may not wish to own from a private business is such a good idea, then why are the ones who ended up voting to place that burden on the peasantry (while exempting their own senior staffers, mind you) dropping out of their campaigns left and right, instead of reveling in the supposed mass good cheer and felicitations that we were lectured would surely result from their "brave" actions?
UPDATE: Radio host Laura Ingraham is tweeting that
"Sources tell me Bawney Fwank [Rep. Barney Frank, D-MA, who tends to talk like Sylvester the Cat] won't run for re-election. Wants to work on the board of a bank and make $ before retirement"
Because he demonstrated such astounding financial acumen when he (among others) assured us in 2004 that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were perfectly solvent and in no danger whatsoever of failing, which is then precisely what they did? Good grief, what bank would want to be associated with him?
Regardless, there's yet another champion of socialized medicine that's getting out before they're run out on a rail.
Seems to be a lot of that going around these days. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of people.

Methinks Frank will get in due to his political connections...sad to say. Hopefully he will indeed be at least out of Congress, though.
Pretty sure the idea is to get out now, since they know they're going to be voted out soon. This way, they avoid the media frenzy and it makes voters look a lot less angry.
There is probably also a touch of "let's get someone on the ticket who might be electable before it's too late." I would be very surprised if a lot of guys hadn't gotten a note from Kim Jong Obama saying "ya better get out or da bill is gone."
