Someone check the potter's field.
Now people understand why Stupak decided not to run in 2012. The deed is done, he walks off into the sunset while others try to fix the mess.
Stupak is classical looter. He did his services, looted the treasury and just walked away.
It would be fun if a citizen journalist ambushed him.
He’s a partner with Venable LLP (Lobbying)

Doing the same damage as always only now he doesn’t get the scrutiny of the media. Same thing a huge number of our former congressmen do. Currently there are 370 former members working in lobbying.

Because he was right, the pollution, graft, and corruption is in the Tax Code and is arranged by K Street ergo where Stupak is now working...
Forbes, was right, if you think about it...
Oh, by the way who took out a full page add against the Flat Tax in the WSJ?
You guessed it Mitt Obamaney....
Hmm, sold out on Obamacare and now to K Street does that make Stupak a Double Putana?
I’ve always said that the only way to eliminate corruption was to eliminate as many taxes and regulations as possible. It would remove many of the incentives for lobbying and bribery.
Maybe he is purchasing a rope as did Judas Ischariot.

My spidey senses feel a giant scammer looter will be found out.
IT’S WORTH REMINDING EVERYONE HOW THIS MONSTROSITY BECAME THE LAW OF THE LAND, AND WHO IS MOST RESPONSIBLE.
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO WADE THROUGH THE WHOLE THING JUST READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH:
Evil, or just Stupid?
October/November 2009 and ObamaCare was stalled in the House, the main sticking point being government funded abortions. There were enough Dems opposed to abortion that refused to vote for the ObamaCare if it contained any abortion language that it would not pass.
Representative Stupak (D) MI introduced his amendment that prohibited any government money from ObamaCare bill being used to fund abortions. This essentially would end all abortions, as no medical procedures outside the ObamaCare System can be done. No going to a doctor and paying him directly for anything. Thus, with his amendment, ALL abortions would be illegal.
This amendment to the House bill, if it passed, would give the above ‘Pro-Life’ Democrats a green light to vote for the ObamaCare bill.
Not enough Democrats supported the Stupak Amendment for it to pass. Many Democrats were vociferously opposed to it. It could only pass with Republican votes.
National Right to Life favored the Stupak Amendment, and insisted that Republicans vote for it. Further, they threatened any Republican who didn’t vote for it with their active opposition to that Republican during the 2010 fall election.
The Republicans caved, even those who could see the eventual outcome, right down to the last man. One hundred percent voted for the Stupak Amendment, along with a bunch of Dems who were opposed to abortions. Stupak handily passed.
Nobody believed the Amendment would stick; eventually it would/will be overridden in some fashion and Government funded abortion would become part of ObamaCare. Abortion is the Prime Sacrament of the Left, and will not be denied government funding, let alone be made illegal.
With a green light, the Pro-Life Dems could vote for ObamaCare, and although many hard-line Leftists were angry, enough of them also could see the end game, and agreed to vote pass ObamaCare.
A couple days later ObamaCare passed the House.
Everyone knew how this would play out, and it did. Rush spoke about it on his show.
I am of the opinion even National Right to Life knew it would play out this way. Im not aware of anyone who thought otherwise. That leaves us with two opinions of their leadership;
The NRTL is Stupid Strategy;
1. They are so locked into their stop abortion at all costs viewpoint that they cant operate with a strategy that goes beyond 24 hours. Liberals like to say that conservatives are stupid and easily lead, this situation is circumstantial proof that Leftists are right from time to time. This is the NRTL Stupid Strategy.
OR
The NRTL is Evil Strategy;
2. They were in cahoots with the Pro-Abort crowd on this, and were complicit in getting ObamaCare passed in the House, ObamaCare which will include a monthly premium from all of us to fund abortions. This would be the NRTL Evil Strategy.
Either way, too stupid, or just evil, they are unfit to lead the movement to reduce or end abortions. Their thuggish actions have brought us to the brink of the enslavement of 300 million Americans, ending of the most advanced medical care in the entire history of the world, and will lead, ironically, to Chinese style government mandated and government funded abortions.
I am unaware of any other organization which has played such a pivotal role against Americans and babies in the ObamaCare fight as National Right to Life has.
Hey reporters....how about asking Senator CASEY what HE thinks about his pal, Obama????
DISABILITY???? Are you certain???
Interesting the way he walks and maintained a reputation as a good basketball player. In reality he has been collecting state disability for decades because he twisted his knee getting out of a sate police cruiser.
Calling James O'Keefe. There is a call for Mr. James O'Keefe.
Consequently, "blaming" anyone for the original pro-life Stupak Amendment is misguided. His treachery was AFTER the Senate disregarded the existence of the Amendment.
I’m not blaming Stupak. He’s a Democrat. All Democrats either worship at the abortion alter or will, under duress, pay homage to the abortion alter.
Stupak is not to blame any more than a wolf is to blame for killing the family dog. That’s who they are and what they do. EVERYONE knows that.
I blame National Right to Life, and for all the reasons outlined in my earlier post.
Without intense support from National Right to Life, ObamaCare would have never passed the House, and would be but a distant memory today.
