Guess who finally wised up

Guess who finally wised up. Bart Stupak is the pro-life Democrat dimwit who provided the final vote for Obamacare after accepting the president’s promise to write an Executive Order allaying his concerns. Now he’s “perplexed and disappointed” that HHS is covering birth control and abortifacients, and he thinks it’s illegal. Anybody got a dunce cap he can borrow?

  • Anybody got a dunce cap he can borrow?

    Not me, but I'm betting Biden and DWS have quite a few extras and they can spare one.

  • Just another useful idiot. Stupak cant believe that barry and nancy lied to him. Now that he has seen what his vote brought to this nation, he wishes to try and explain it away. I guess he didn't read the bill until after it was passed. That and he trusted barry to keep his word. Again IDIOT

    • The House nad Senate were informed they could NOT read it until it was passes. And at a zillion pages mostly of legalese and special favors, I might not have read it either. THere was precious little about the program itself.

  • Sounds suspiciously like someone's reelection campaign isn't going so well. Could it be because he sold out all the people who voted for him in the first place? Maybe he miscalculated how many people were supposed to forget this little act of treason.

    • Bart is no longer a congressman. He saw the writing on the wall after his cave-in and chose not to run for reelection last year. The seat now belongs to a Republican.

    • Sorry, go to the grocery store & check out all the folks paying for their sh!t with your money with an EBT card. Welfare is a multigenerational lifestyle to many, & they all loves them some liberal/progressive Dems to keep that gravy train rolling in. That's way more then 6 people.

      • Don't hit me with a newspaper, but when the politicos talk about welfare, they are not including food stamps. THAT is considered a nutritional assistance program. Welfare rees to cash payments, housing, etc.

  • Bart's utter betrayal of his constituents should have occasioned his attendance at a tar and feathers party as the guest of honor. Where's the passion?

  • Stupak's problem is he's a middle-of-the-roader in a party that's now driving well onto the left shoulder. We call them middle-of-the-roaders, anyway... Lenin called them "useful idiots." Enjoy your retirement, sucker.

      • Reminds me of something El-Rushbo says every so often, that you will never find a musium or monument dedicated to great moderates of their time. The Kennedy's & Paul Wellstone are considered great liberals. Guy's like Reagan & Goldwater are considered great conservatives. Ask yourself this, who are the great moderates & what did they acomplish?

  • This happens over and over and over again with Libs. They support the candidate who addressed their particular pet issue, expecting that the candidate/party view will stay the same. But Libs are ALWAYS looking ahead, and they have learned that what they need to do to make BIG changes is to chip away at them bit by bit.

    They don't just want abortion to be legal, they want abortion on demand to be legal, they want abortion on demand to be free, heck - who knows? They might even want abortion to be mandatory to ease population overcrowding. Or they may be working up to infanticide like quite a few of their educators are in favor of.

    The point is that at some point, the Libs plans cross over the individual's lines. At that point, the person is in a terrible position. Do they suck it up and flip sides, or do they accept it, because they have truly believed in the BS they have been fed about how EVIL conservatives are? They are putting themselves in line for ridicule if they flip, but they have to accept the unacceptable if they don't.
