Even Boston Globe Unable to Spin Coakley Health Care Flip-Flop Hypocrisy

It seems that the flat out health care flip-flop performed recently by Massachusetts Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate was too hypocritically self serving for even the very liberal Boston Globe to spin in a way to make her look good. Either it was that or the fact that that they aren't worried about how such a story would affect Coakley's chances in the special election on January 19 since it is widely assumed that a win in the Democrat primary leads automatically to a coronation in the general election in that liberal state. Whatever the case, Boston Globe writer Lisa Wangsness shines a light on Coakley's blatant political hypocrisy:

State Attorney General Martha Coakley, the Democratic nominee for US Senate, reluctantly threw her support yesterday behind the Senate health care bill, even though it contains restrictions on abortion coverage that abortion rights groups are calling unacceptable.

During the primary campaign, Coakley said she would not have supported the House health care bill because of provisions designed to prevent federal funding of abortions that abortion rights advocates said went too far. Her stand was a major point of debate during the campaign; several of her opponents criticized her for being willing to sink the health care bill over a single issue, but she insisted that there were some things on which she would not compromise.

I understand this clown will be in a debate tonight. Anybody know of the link to follow that debate?

No surprise here. A RAT always takes a principled stand unless and until it's convenient not to.

My Goodness! Why would you want to punish yourself so? There’s got to be a rerun of Gilligan’s Island on somewhere!

I hope Scott Brown has a chance. There’s a 3rd party candidate name Joe Kennedy, no relation to the Ted, who may take some of the moonbat vote from people thinking he’s a real Kennedy.
