“We’re in deep, deep trouble when Joe Biden is the voice of reason within the inner circle. “

Hillary could’ve been Obama’s VP and she’d be for the rule.

“What are we doing here?” asked Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, stepping outside his wheelhouse to ask about a rising storm involving the Obama administration and the Catholic Church. “What’s the point?”…

S’matter, Leo, don’t know who your boy is? Idiot.

During the primary, Hillary was endorsed by ‘Emily’s List’...meaning they felt she was even more pro-abort than Hussein.

That would be, until he got Kathleen on his team.

The media totally fails to get the point. This is not even about abortion, although that is a side benefit for obama. What it is about is undermining the Faith as a competing source of moral authority against the State. For Obama's dream to come true the Church must be discredited if not destroyed.

This will never get out of committee and dirty harry controls what gets to the floor, and they will never get 60 votes to break a filibuster.

So while it will make good talking points, obummer will never have to pull out the veto pen.

If the SCOTUS declares obamacare unconstitutional, this whole issue is moot.

Obamacare screws everyone equally but just one rule makes it Obama against Catholics.

Of the five, four of them voted for the health care law. And Manchin would have voted for it too had he been in the senate at the time.

They’re fooling nobody.

That’s the whole point as to why the pro-aborts are so vehement about forcing this on everyone.

If there is ANY HINT that abortion has a moral component,
that leads inexorably to the truth that it is murder,
and those that have participated in it have committed murder.

And liberals are “good people”, donchaknow, so they can’t think of themselves as murderers.

Casey Jr. is only opposed because he is up for reelection this year and there are a huge number of Catholic voters in Pennsylvania.

Otherwise, he would be more than happy to throw his Catholic faith under the bus in order to rubberstamp his bum chum ObaMao.

It seems to me the President of the United States essentially assumed power greater than the Pope; he unilaterally changed the law of the Church.

It is a breathtaking power grab. Has this been done since Henry VIII? No, Hussein has not kicked out Catholics and seized their property, but he has as a matter of fact, vetoed laws of the Church.

Hussein once again shows he is willing to exercise tyrannical powers.

This is all about setting a very high bar! Everyone knows that once an entitlement is established, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to remove without political peril!

Look, the way that Obamacare was written, every President gets to go through and make changes to the insurance requirements and standards from one year to the next.

If Obama says this is covered, the next President says NO, we are removing this, then the people will now feel like they are having “a right removed” by those evil Republicans!

That is why he decided to shoot for the moon! He is hoping to set the bar so high that once established, no one will ever be able to remove it without stumbling politically! PERIOD!

This is one tool to use against Obamacare.

It is too complicated to take on all of Obamacare, in any political strategy.

We have to bring up each part we don't like, separately.

Also, this is a GREAT issue in teaching the Catholic Bishops how naive they were, to give government this much power.

They all voted for Obamacare, now they don’t want to be blamed for the results - hypocrites all.

LOL!~
Manchin is another Webb- ALWAYS votes with the left when it counts, sometimes votes against them when it doesn’t matter.

‘Allahpundit’ is a sniveling fool.

Heck, Manchin probably asked Obama to have Sibelius do this so he could use his fake ‘opposition’ to drum up moderate support.

‘Allahpundit’ is a sniveling fool.
