I know this district! I lived there for 30 years. I ran against the old man Eilliam O, and on my past life got Republicans elected to state legislative and aldermanic posts directing their campaigns in a solid blue area. Something none of you can say you’ve done and currently have a website conservatives for legislative offices can use to get elected.

Lipinski, did not have a viable candidate to run against him. He was under no pressure to vote yes in his district from his constituents who opposed it vigorously using some of my material. They urged him to vote no and he did. The pressue to vote yes came from the administration which he bucked and he’s gonna get smeared for doing so....By smearing him here your helping the socialists....
If there was any pressure on him, it was to vote yes because he is from the Chicago metropolitan area and the Democrats didn't want him to embarrass the president. But he stood firm and voted his conscience. God bless him. Now that he voted no, the white house will probably provide backing to a primary challenger who will do their bidding if he wins.
All of the Freepers on here attacking him are shameless. If you read the article Lipinski states that it wasn't just the abortion issue, but we cannot afford socialized health care. We should encourage Democrats to vote their conscience when it comes to social issues.
Thanks for the ping/post, mosesdapoet.
