NY-23 Congressman Bill Owens took one hour to break four campaign promises.
After being sworn into the US House the New York democrat announced that he had changed his mind and would endorse Pelosi’s nationalized health care plan after all.
The Gouverneur reported, via RedState:
Congressman-elect Bill Owens was sworn in at noon today.
Owens indicated in a press release that he was now in favor of the bill in direct contrast to his earlier position during his campaign.
According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the public option had no place in the health care reform bill. Contrary to that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor of the bill even though it now contains a public option.
Of course, this surprises no one.
