Healthcare Hardball? Bart Stupak Gets a Primary Challenge
The Lid/Free Press ^ | 3/8/2010 | The Lid

Posted on 03/09/2010 2:34:22 PM PST by Shellybenoit

For the past two weeks all eyes have been on Bart Stupak the man who is leading the Democrats objecting to the health care bill based on the abortion issue. Stupak and is group may be the key to whether or not Americans are burdened with a government takeover of 17% of the economy that they very much object to. The status of Stupak's negotiations are updated in the press on an almost hourly basis.

Today there was a piece of news that the cynic in me says could very well be an act of White House pressure on Mr. Stupak and his pro-life coalition.

If so, he’s from a conservative district, and folding on abortion will hurt him more than folding to Nancy. Of course, he may be too dumb to realize that.

They don’t have to pressure Stupak. He was always going to support the Pelosi plan. He is like all Democrats a certified liberal who will fall in line when Nancy tells him to.

All this other stuff is posturing to keep his name in the news and face on TV.

It’s about time people realize there are NO-ZERO-NONE honorable Democrats. They care only about themselves and their power. Like Jeremiah Wright, they say “God damn America” if it gets in the way of their power.

In truth, Stupak would gladly trade a million aborted babies for keeping his power in Congress. His upcoming vote will prove it.

This butthole supports funding of Planned Parenthood...the major performer of abortions in the USA.

“Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

So he decided "die quickly" is a good plan, after all?

217, if you're swapping one that works for one that's burned out.
