Stupak is stupid

Stupak Announces Deal With White House on Abortion Funding Ban

1. An executive order cannot replace legislation passed by Congress.
2. Even if it was Constitutional, the word of one man can be changed by one man, any time he chooses.
3. Once this door is opened, it will be almost impossible to close it again.

Maybe his district will make him unemployed this November. Somebody this gulliable should not be in his position.

I knew there was something wrong when I agreed with your thread title. :roll:

I think Stupak is stupid, but that is because of the realities of women's health care, not politricks.

Bart is a smart gander. Thank you Stupak.

Every person in Congress can be bought for some price, or they wouldn't be there.

Please join me and others and give Congressmans Stupak a call of "thank you" tomorrow morning. He is on the other side of the issue of abortion as far as this Dem. is concerned, but at least he know that he must do the right thing!

Stupak Office--Rayburn Office Bldg, D.C.: 202 225-4735.

I hope you and stupid er Stupak have a few trillion laying around to pay for this. And I would appreciate your assistance in paying the new taxes I will have to pay with absolutely no benefit to me. I know ya'll hate us calling the chosen one a socialist, but all this redistribution of wealth sure sounds like the definition I learned in Political Science.

Trillions lying around to pay for it? :roll:

How much does an abortion cost? Bearing in mind most women who can afford one forego insurance so that there is no paper trail for some rude and ignorant S.O.B. to rub in their faces at a later date.

How much does a pregnancy and baby cost? It's a hell of a lot more.

So much more that my insurance company won't pay for one unless I add coverage to my policy more than 60 days before I conceive one. :angry:

I was refering to the entire bill, not just the abortion component. Because babies "cost" I guess the government will next prohibit us from having them.

One thing that continues to suprise me about this whole debate is the number of people who seem to think insurance companies are not supposed to make a profit or should provide unlimited care at a minimum premium. I would suggest a class in economics or business administration will cure such notions.
What scares me about this bill is that these same people will be administering the program. Without an idea of profit/loss the deficit will grow exponentially.

He's weak. He waited until after there were enough known "yes" votes to say he had changed his mind. That way he could say his vote didn't matter.

What a puss...

I have a greater appreciation for nuns at this moment in time. They are showing more independence and seem to be helping sway votes.
Op-Ed Columnist - Eraser Duty for Bart? - NYTimes.com

' ....... Stupak got in hot holy water when he told Fox News, ?When I?m drafting right-to-life language, I don?t call up nuns.? He followed that with more scorn for sisters, telling Chris Matthews that the nuns were not influential because they rarely try to influence ? which makes no sense ? and because ?they?re not the recognized spokesperson for the Catholic Church.? He listens to the bishops, he said, and antiabortion groups. ........

On Friday, Tim Ryan, an antiabortion Democrat from Ohio, took to the House floor to say he had been influenced by the nuns to vote for the bill.

?You say this is pro-abortion,? he said to Republicans, and yet ?you have 59,000 Catholic nuns from across the country endorsing this bill, 600 Catholic hospitals, 1,400 Catholic nursing homes endorsing this bill." ..... '
