Stupak, Dems reach abortion deal; 'eight or nine' will vote yes

By Jared Allen - 03/21/10 03:33 PM ET

Democrats have reached a deal on an executive order on abortion that could hand them a victory on healthare.

"Eight or nine" Democrats, including Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), will announce the deal at a 4 p.m. press conference, according to an anti-abortion Democrat.

"We've changed [our votes]," said Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio).

Driehaus said he's seen the executive order and can now vote for the healthcare bill. He said Stupak has signed off, as well.

Driehaus made his remarks just a few moments ago in the Speaker's Lobby. He said the group of "eight or nine" Democrats -- including Stupak -- who had been withholding their votes plans to announce the deal at 4 p.m. in the House Radio/TV gallery.

The executive order will be revoked as easily as Obama can sign his name. Its meaningless.

[ReformedBeckite]

How many pro-abortion Dems will bail?

Just enough to get the bill passed.

Really now, had we any doubt? I lay this at the feet of Republican’s as well as Democrats. Had the Republicans sought to shoot down some of the spending bills under Bush and held the line on bailouts, of which John McCain was instrumental in passing, and had Republicans put more real conservatives in the running for POTUS, we likely would not be at this juncture right now... damn, just Damn!! GD the Republican Party, GD them!! But all love to Michelle Bachman and Paul Ryan.

I just moved my 401k to all cash. This vote is going to tank the market.

[rogertarp]

Cut it loose.

[crosshairs]

Yep Bart Stupid caved.

[Caipirabob]

Stupak caves in...

More babies to feed the abortion mills on the public's dime...

[GeronL]

All politicians are POS. Some are just piled higher and smell worse.

You keep posting this. Please tell me why then if I do not pay payroll taxes for social security and medicare, I will go to jail?

You are losing all your freedoms anyway! How could defending the Constitution be any worse? Keep in mind our founding fathers were threatened with death by hanging from King George III while they were writing the Declaration of Independence but they still persevered. Any sacrifice we make to preserve the Constitution will be far less.

[gitmo]

They have declared war on the United States of America. I hope they get EXACTLY what they deserve.

[muawiyah]

Probably his weiner bumping buddy Rahm Emanuel calling up screaming death threats.

Might ask him about it.

Buy a weapon and ammo.That is your second amendment right as if you didn’t know . Trying to fan the flames ??

There aren't any flames yet. But I pray to God there will be. And I know that a few of their smoking carcasses hanging from a bridge maybe asking too much but it would be nice. If it was good enough for Blackwater...

[outofstyle]

You’ll go to jail if you let them take you to jail. Give me liberty or give me death.

I hear you brother. But the post was concerning these meaningless state resolutions that supposedly exempt states from medicare. This in meaningless garbage. Politicians are the opiate of the people.

[GeronL]

HE DID IT. THAT GUTLESS S.O.B. DID IT, AND CAVED TO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

every politician, especially Demwhore Party politicians have their price.

[teg_76]

I don’t know....join a militia, nothing illegal about that. What are you looking for?

[OwenKellogg]

There was no expiration on our oath!

as if you didn’t know. Trying to fan the flames?”
-
I do not remember a time when I did not have guns and ammo.
What is your point?

[ought-six]

I won’t stop fighting, either. However, I am a realist. Winston Churchill’s words are so very appropriate now: “If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

I said the Stupak situation was stupid a LONG time ago, back in November precisely, and I got heckled for it, so do I receive an apology or what? I could smell a rat many months ago and look what happens. VOTE THEM ALL OUT DAMMIT!
