Benedict Arnold was an American general who was considered a patriot but turned out to be a traitor to American freedom.
Will Stupak's name become as infamous in our own time?
YES
He won’t get that much face time. He is going to be “unelected” first chance the voters get.
I don’t know if he’ll become as famous as Arnold. Baby killers never are.
Darn. Was that stupek that I just stepped in?
He’s Judas Stupak.
For me it is. At least the GOP is putting them on record on the abortion amendment.
No. Arnold would have been hailed a hero if the British had won. Today the socialists won. Stupak is their hero.
No. You have to be a somebody first to be an infamous turncoat. This is Obama’s, Reid’s and Pelosi’s mess. History will frown on them, not Stupak.
To his credit, Arnold was an exceptional commander and a true war hero before selling out. Stupak is one who tried to capitalize on a stance that he really didn’t hold.
more like Judas Iscariot
We won’t remember his name in a couple of years...Hopefully he’ll be selling shoes on a street corner somewhere!!!
Yes. As he becomes the face of infamy, he will watch the president and his weasel-worded executive order fail to deliver, and he will, thrown out of office, watch the mounting death count of the young innocent lives he purported to protect, along with destruction of our health system, our economy, and our freedoms that he failed to consider. He is a cursed man who has unleashed the whirlwind. I would ask God’s mercy on his soul, but that would be hypocritical.
But we all know that Obama, Reid and Pelosi are fighting AGAINST the principles on which this country was founded. The control and tyranny they want to impose is not unlike that sought by the British parliament and their armies over Americans.
On the other hand, Stupak pretended to be on the side of life. Like Arnold, at the critical moment he turned his coat to support oppressors.
I understand your point, and it is a good one. In my paradigm, the conservative mind will judge Obama/Reid/Pelosi as the culprits. Stupak, after all, is a dem, a species not know to stand on principles. A much great judge than I, a supernatural one, will ultimately hold Stupak accountable. (As well as 218 other butchers.)
Arnold lived out his last years in England and died in a delirium.
Will Stupak flee his constituents in disgrace?
Wow. Stupak makes Benedict Arnold look like a Patriot!
Benedict Arnold was at least getting something from his wife, who was the mover and shaker behind his treachery.
Bart turned for another tired old promise from a professional liar.
