Despite reports on MSNBC that pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak, D-Mich., will vote for the bill, he remains a "no" vote.
I just talked to Stupak in the basement of the Capitol as he walked passed a throng of protesters calling for members to vote against the bill.
"I'm still a no vote. There is no final agreement." Stupak said.
Stupak and other pro-life Democrats are in negotiations with the White House on a deal that would involve President Obama signing some kind of executive order that would ban federal funding of abortion under the health care bill.
"We are waiting until we have an agreement with not just the White House but also the Speaker and others," Stupak said. "There is no agreement. It's still a work in progress. I think we have work to do. "
Ouch! :0)
The current big announcement that Stupak may be close to an agreement with this Fascist bill is a nothingburger. No news, just a reiteration.
So is Free Republic
Nowhere, anymore. Fox pulled all free online streaming. Gone, gone, gone! :-(
Yes, just more drama.
Fox News (2:54 PM EST): Stupak may be rolling over
“Why does the MSM still continue to make him out to be a yes vote?”
The pro-communist MSM are the ones who elected Obama. They see their mission as guiding us sheeple to think properly.
I should say, EXCEPT for special coverage.
EXACTLY!
Keep Calling Stupak....they are answering the phones! 202-225-4735
This just red-alerted on Drudge;
FLASH: Senate Republicans found a provision in the new House health care bill that likely makes it ineligible for expedited ‘reconciliation’ procedures in the Senate. Dems refused to meet with GOP and Parliamentarian.... Developing....
You can bet if there was a provision making it ineligible.. Coburn found it.
Stupak has caved in which gives them 7 more yes votes Why dont we instead of hoping for repeal just go to refuse to comply to this crap What are they going to do,lock us all away in the internment camps Halliburton has been building
UN-informed mom of 6
Are you *****STILL***** going to work for Rep. Stupak this November now that he’s announced his decision?
Just wondering if you enjoy being duped.

Oh he caved like we knew he would. He folded like a cheap suit and, according to Planned Parenthood, is now responsible for 400,000 additional abortions per year as a result of the Senate bill passing. The blood of 400,000 innocent children per year are now on his hands.
Still think he is pro-life?
You guys don't get it!
Stupak DID NOT CAVE.
His intention was to vote yes all along!
