Yes, my husband and I left in disgust, he wants the health care bill so bad, abortion really doesn’t mean much to him.
Call his office anyway. They keep track of the tallies. Have your friends and relatives do so as well.
The House-Senate parlimentarians will be ruling this week as to whether the House can even proceed to reconciliation without the House passing the Senate bill as-is and then having the president sign the bill into law. Senator Conrad supports this belief.
If this is the ruling, then there is no sidecar, no tiebar, and I don’t see how Pelosi can get the Senate bill thru the House with all its corruption. Game over.
I believe Stupak is trying to give his leadership some room to maneuver, but my guess is that most members don’t want any votes on this — in either chamber — everyone is looking for an escape hatch and scapegoat.
I do agree that Stupak sounded like jello — at best.
Yes, I believe he intends to support this so called health care bill.
Makes me ill.
Good for you. Politicians hate it when you turn your back to them and walk away.
