Wow: Dozens of Democrats lining up against ObamaCare over … abortion ?
Hot Air ^ | July 22, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 07/22/2009 4:16:30 PM PDT by RobinMasters

The Standard counts no fewer than 53 Dems on record as having problems with the House bill, but so lopsided is the blue majority that the GOP would need to peel off 40 of them to block it. That’s not going to happen on Obama’s signature policy initiative. Assuming their objections are economic in nature, Pelosi will simply shower the fencesitters with legislative goodies until enough of them are willing to choke down ObamaCare.

But what if their objections are based on something more profound than economics?

Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak said he is “optimistic” that his campaign to include explicit language condemning the use of federal funds for abortion in the House health care bill will pass the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The congressman from Michigan did however say on today’s “Washington Unplugged” that the House will likley not vote on the bill before their July 31st deadline.

I reduced the physical size of that Hill-Dr.gif twice to get it in proportion to the the crowd and Obama - it should have also made it sharper/crisper

If you redo it I believe I can recreate it over again with an updated Hill-Dr.gif

Nothing that is resized gets sharper or clearer. Anytime I resize something I have to go around the edges and redo.

I need to make something for me to post.

I definitely think contacting one’s congress critter is a great idea, but lying about my address removes all my credibility. Also, it seems to me that the staffers screening the e-mail will likely recognize the address and bin them.

0bama’s HealthCare DEform is the “crown jewel” of his Socialist takeover plan, bolstered by Cap n’ Trade, er, Charade. If we can defeat this and Cap n’ Charade, we have defeated HIM!

You are absolutely correct.

The two together would constitute almost absolute control of the economy and the American people.

That's why Obama is so angry, because he has a despotic personality and he is so close to destroying America as the Founders conceived it.

So close.

“Catholic” Notre Dame University supports abotions and abortionists.

Abortion is a BIG money maker and Dems and Libs own these business.

The family from Calif that got killed going skiing to their mansion in WY were big in the abortion business. They could afford a Swiss Pilatus turboprop. It is a $3 million plane. Abortions are BIG moneymakers.

The father and owners of the chain of abortion clinics was not on the plane but his family and grandkids were. The plane was overloaded. It crashed into a cemetary and hit a monument to babies that had been aborted.

There is so much about iran in the works that trying to get it written and posted is outrunning AntiMullah. Probably going up by the end of tomorrow.

What’s funny is that Mullah shills and lobbyists in the USA are setting up protests against the Mullahs!!! Another indication of the splits in the islamic regime where members of one faction or another have been arrested and their friends want to put pressure , by the USA, on the islamic regime to release them..

What is Obama doing behind the scenes for these people? What clear message if any, do the Iranian people get from our state dept?

I don’t like having to throw cold water on everybody’s joy over SOME democrats who do not support tax-payer paid abortions - but they probably still support abortion.

Also .. these so-called “blue dogs” will only side with the repubs UNTIL THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT FROM THE PRESIDENT - AND THEN THEY WILL VOTE FOR THIS MONSTER LEGISLATION.

Please - everybody - remind your congress people of this fact and don’t allow them to become excited by the so-called “bi-partisan” show.

Remember - BI-PARTISAN TO A DEMOCRAT MEANS THIS: DO IT THE DEMOCRAT WAY. If we forget this - we will get hoodwinked into supporting these blue dogs when we should be very, very suspicious of them.

ALSO REMEMBER - THE WORD IS OUT ... THE DEMS WILL NEED SOME REPUBS TO GET THIS MONSTER PASSED. That means the blue dogs will be looking for the repubs who are easy to fool .. and we all know who they are.

Hey, Four Peas. I did a bunch of thinking about the "plausible consistuent address" thing, and I finally came to the conclusion that it is dishonest. The Representative has a legitimate interest in sorting out who's in his district and who isn't. If I circumvent his mail-sorting method, I am actually undermining the whole idea of constituent-representative communication.

Therefore -- whether it "works" or not is irrelevant here---I think I was wrong.

I am not going to use my "plausible constituent adresses." In fact, I am going to destroy the ones I compiled (a couple dozen) which I had stored on my computer.

Thank you for tweaking my conscience on this. Mrs. Don-o
