'Rachel Maddow Show': Stupak Abortion Stance a Plea for '15 Minutes of Fame'
Newsbusters ^ | March 10, 2010 | Jeff Poor

What's a principled stance on the life of an unborn fetus if it means achieving the be-all and end-all victory for liberal ideologues - a government intrusion into health care? According to The Nation's Chris Hayes, it's just "one giant obstacle."

Hayes, filling in for Rachel Maddow on MSNBC's March 9 broadcast of "The Rachel Maddow Show," didn't seem impressed with Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. Stupak, who has a documented history of having a pro-life position on abortion long before so-called health care reform was even a possibility, has been taking heat from left-wingers in this political battle. But according to MSNBC, it's just his "15 minutes of fame."

"If health reform is finally going to happen this year, Democrats have one giant obstacle standing in their way, his name is Bart Stupak," Hayes said. "Democratic Congressman Bart Stupak from Michigan has threatened for the last week to pretty much anyone who will listen, to bring down the health reform bill if the anti-abortion language he prefers is not in it. And Bart Stupak says he's not just speaking for Bart Stupak. He is speaking for the Stupak dozen."

The far left is just mad that its Stupak or a republican. Moving to the left won’t happen in that district so they’re stuck with Stupak.

It also so happens that the Stupak language is the only thing the Roman Catholic church will countenance. (Many evangelicals agree with this too.) Why do all these Rats go around flaunting their Catholic connections when they don’t give a rat’s patoot about what their church is saying?

"Catholic Is As Catholic Does."

The Kennedy-Kerry types are just CUACs (pronounced "Quacks"):
Catholics United Against Catholicism.

The tagline is for them:

She’s jealous because more people see him in any 15 minutes of his work day than hers.

(I believe that there are 435 members of the House of Representatives.)

Then why does he support the current level of funding for planned parenthood? The provider of the majority of abortions in the USA?

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
