Report : Stupak working with GOP to kill ObamaCare after Nelson’s sellout
Hot Air ^ | December 18, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 12/19/2009 12:04:44 PM PST by RobinMasters

So strange have the bedfellows become that this story is breaking almost at the same time that this one is. Pro-life and pro-choice, united at last!

Question: Will the nutroots regard Stupak as a traitor for working with the evil GOP or an unwitting hero in trying to block a bill they regard as a sellout to corporate America?

An aide to Rep. Bart Stupak (D. Mich.) coordinated opposition to a Senate compromise on the place of abortion in health care legislation this morning with the Republican Senate leadership, the Conference Catholic Bishops, and other anti-abortion groups, according to a chain of frantic emails obtained this morning by POLITICO.

Stupak is a tool of Pelosi, he fooled us last time, he will find a way to fool us again

I wonder if he is calling Ben Nelson to find a way to get something extra for his district...........

Stupak should leave the Party of death, and join the RNC.

They’re big government democrats at heart.

Ben Nelson proved he had a price, just like his fellow Catholic Mary Landreui.

What can we do? I have e-mailed all mys reps and senators. I have called their offices twice. I will keep doing so, I want to believe it will make a difference, but it seems as if these elitists belive that they know what is better for us than ignorant lil’ old us. They are cluless of what the average working public goes through just to make ends meet (especiaslly those who do not fall into the poverty level category. Please tell me what more I can do (before my head explodes).

National Organization for Women opposes Senate health bill By Michael O'Brien - 12/19/09 01:55 PM ET A leading women's group called on senators on Saturday to defeat its healthcare reform bill. The leader of the National Organization for Women (NOW) excoriated the language in the health bill curtailing federal support for insurance plan covering abortions, which was inserted to win the 60th vote of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.).

First time FreeRepublic poster!

It really doesn’t matter about Stupak. The Democrats fully intend to offer 1) a public option and 2) full single-payer Socialized medicine as the next steps. So, any Stupak amendment will be overturned anyway.

Is Stupak for real or is this just posturing? While all races have problems with “unwanted” pregnancies and abortions, is it not true that the black and Hispanic populations have a bigger per capital problem with it? If so, does Stupak want to go against his base? Probably not.

Yes, this is most frustrating. I really don’t think that Congress listens anymore to the center and right. Face it, the Left works really hard at this ... and won. Conservatives didn’t ... and we lost.

But we lost in a big way. I know Republicans who actually voted for Obama because they hated Bush. I am still shaking my head and asking “So, how did that work out for you?”

But 2011, something bad will happen in the global economy. Be prepared. The Treasury and Fed know the bomb is ticking and just want to grab as much $$$ as they can before it all explodes.

Oh, and Bush/Greenspan are ALMOST as much as fault as Obama/Bernanke. Its just that we have been becoming more and more Socialist since FDR and this is the crowning piece in the Socialist vision for the USA — the destruction of capitalism and the rise of the government as the controller of everything.

Unfortunately all the e-mailing and telephone calls to congress do nothing except give them a laugh. They are totally corrupt and and have the feeling of omnipotence when ever they get a chance to kick us peons in the face. After all they are absolute dictators over the common people. They are SCUM and human feces.

Don’t shake their lousy hands, don’t smile at their joking, don’t listen to them disarming anecdotes, don’t smile back to their smarmy smiles, don’t be kind to them, don’t give them a penny for their reelections, don’t treat them like you’d like to be treated, don’t respect their staff, don’t respect their families, don’t respect their friends, don’t give them the time of day... don’t...don’t...don’t. Shun them like the tyrants they are. Resist! Resist! Resist! Never give up. This is yet another sad day for America with these usurpers in control.

There just has to be something we can do...
I’m sure that this is the same type of frustration that led to the revolution against King George. I respect the Founding Fathers more than ever. I wish they were here to guide us. We the people must do something, but what? Any ideas? I can’t just sit here and accept my fate.

Welcome to Freerepublic.

It is over .Democrats have the 60 votes needed to end debate and so to
pass the bill, this destruction of America. People don't understand that Democrats have a
virtual dictatorship now with Democrats controlling 60% of the votes in the Senate. Democrats can pass anything into law even if every Republican Senator opposes it as all Republican Senators oppose this socialist government healthcare bill.

The fix is in . All this
“debate” between “moderate” and liberal democrats is all an act.
There are no moderate Democrats. All Democrats are
Marxists/liberals every one of them. Democrats are all Marxists.
All elected Democrats always knew they were going to vote for
government healthcare. This was decided on election day.So All
Democrats know they will all vote for Amnesty as that guarantees
democrats to 100 million new voters, the illegals and their
families back in the third world.

For Democrats/Marxists to do this on Christmas, on the day the
Creator chose to descend to the Earth as a man, shows the evil of
that these Democrats are. May God punish them in hellfire for this
direct attack on freedom, on the American people, and on God. To
hell with you Democrats/liberals/Marxists.

You liberals, and you anti-Republican “conservatives” enjoy
starving in the streets as you helped the liberals achieve the
elected Democrats insurmountable 60 votes in the Senate, a virtual
dictatorship.

Long live capitalism, America, and freedom. This will not stand,
us the men of freedom will not allow it to. I promise all of you that.
May God give us courage.

Long live the protector of the U.S border, the defender of faith
and freedom, Long live REPUBLICAN Tom Tancredo!

Guys, keep praying hard, doing what you think you need to be doing to combat this any way you can.

Keep praying to God it gets derailed somehow. we won’t know everything going on fully, won’t know what’s bunk and what isn’t, possibly as it gets closer and closer. God can stop this if He wants to. Enough fervent prayer might have an impact in ways we don’t even know. Someone changes their mind for whatever reason. Keep praying, keep calling or emailing, keep praying. Sincere prayer. For the country. For our future. For our freedom. For good government to return.

If we can stop it, or can’t, we can still work to get good government back by making it our personal missions, where we are, to oust every single person that votes for the most horrible piece of pig crap legislation ever to disgrace the halls of Congress. Remember how you feel this day, every day from now on, don’t forget, let it fuel you to work to get these people out of office. And get God fearing constitutionalists into office and reverse it.

Welcome to FR! May your stay be fun and informative.

I think you may be right about what the dems will try to do. Stupak, being a good so called blue dog democrat (so called because there are no moderate democrats), lies about who he is, what he wants, and when the chips are down, does what he can to help the party achieve its goals.

This is irregardless of political affliation and christian affliation. This bill needs to be defeated. lets work together, stop complaining and start working. It is not over yet, stop being defeatist. It is by Gods grace that we as christians and Americans can defeat this travesty being thrust upon us

At this point, I believe contacting them is a fruitless exercise. They follow the polls and know how unpopular this bill is. Rest assured of that.

Many years ago, there was a disgusting cartoon in Playboy by Gahan Wilson depicting a man putting himself through a meat grinder. The caption read, “This is the most determined case of suicide ever seen.” Perhaps so, until now. The Democrats are proving even more determined in their suicide effort. They are beginning to resemble kamikaze pilots. It’s an amazing spectacle.

It’s in God’s hands. At this point, about all you can do is pray.

Another exercise I’ve found pleasure and satisfaction in is cutting WAY BACK on discretionary spending. Deprive them of tax revenue as much as possible.
