MICHIGAN PAYOFF FOR STUPAK 
Posted on 03/22/2010 6:37:54 AM PDT by Mrs. Frogjerk
Even after the main vote on the Democrats' health bill Sunday night, tempers continued to flare in the House.
Following the vote on the massive health bill, Republicans challenged the Democratic bill's language barring federal funding of abortions, saying it was weak and would effectively allow public funding for abortions.
Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, who had fought for tough language barring federal subsidies for abortion coverage, denounced the Republican move, saying it was nothing more than an attempt to deny 32 million Americans health care. From the Republican side a voice shouted, "Baby killer!"
It was not immediately clear who had called out the epithet.
Rep. John Campbell (R-Calif.), said it wasn't him.
"I don't think it’s appropriate at all," he told Politico. "The people who know won't give it up," Campbell said. "I'm not casting dispersions on that state" in a reference to lawmakers from Texas.
Republican Rep. Joe Barton of Texas said he heard the scream but wouldn't say who was responsible.
"I can make a guess," Barton told reporters.
Fox News is searching for the source of the remark.

If they had any brains and gumption, they would bring up the rat congress”man” who called American citizens peacefully exercising their right to protest, “teabaggers” on the floor of the House those same citizens support with their taxes, and his salary. It’s not hard to find, it’s on video and in the record, and this accusation is a TRUE one!
Well good for her! She isn’t a politican that’s why she repented.
Disgusting!
If the Republicans manage to become the majority “ALL” of these back room deals need to be investigated and these scum need to be held accountable!!!!
MICHIGAN PAYOFF FOR STUPAK
Me too, and whoever said it only spoke the truth-but that’s a crime in our new Orwellian world.
I am sick to death of the hypocrisy! It's high time the Republicans pushed back and opened their mouths more irregardless of what some panty waste has to say about it!
I love the way our money is used as bribes for votes that go AGAINST OUR BELIEFS! How does this happen? I want to know EVERY SINGLE PENNEY that duhbama has PROMISED of OUR MONEY to the corrupt democrats willing to accept his bribes for a vote for his obamacare horror.
I would refuse to extend my hand to him during Mass. In fact, I would have to leave rather than see him desecrate the Host. That holds true for any "pro-choice" "Catholic" politician.
DEATH PANELS
Actually, a lot of them do....even Jane Roe. We should pray for his enlightenment.
The dude’s from California. We’re lucky he even speaks English. You want him to talk it good, too?
So Stupak sold out babies for airplanes. Good trade.
What an unbelievable weasel he is.
I hope his soul is haunted for the rest of his days. If he has one.
I thought they were going to take out those imaginary Death Panels?Sarc in the extreme!
GOOD!!!!!!!! Time for niceties and decorum is over....pitchforks and torches, tar and feathers....fubo said to get into peoples faces, well alright....anyone supporting this bill is my enemy...and will be treated as such
Ms. Roe is not a politician. Politicans who are baby killers NEVER repent.
Spartacus was on TV the night before so Wayne stands up and says “I am Garth Agar”
Someone else rises up and says “I am Garth Agar”
Another person rises up and says “I am Garth Agar”
Then Garth gets up and says “I am Spartacus”.
So the cop grabs him.

Do You Know Jack?
There are good reasons why even secular society ought to disapprove of suicide. I’ll share them with you.

According to an upcoming HBO movie, “You Don’t Know Jack,” folks. The “Jack” in this case is Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a.k.a., “Dr. Death.” The title also means “you don’t know anything.”
Actually, we know quite a bit about assisted suicide-it’s those who insist otherwise that need instruction.
While the movie hasn’t aired or even been viewed by critics, we can infer its perspective on Kevorkian from the comments made by its stars, Al Pacino and Susan Sarandon.
According to Pacino, viewers “don’t know this guy.” Kevorkian “is more than meets the eye...[the film is] a portrait of a zealot. I don’t think we see that often.”
Kevorkian’s “zealotry” also appealed to Sarandon, who said that people who dedicate themselves to a cause at the expense of anything else in their lives “are really fascinating people.”
For his part, Kevorkian is said to be “enthused about helping with the film.” His lawyer thinks the film won’t be “scathing and critical.”
I guess not. I certainly doubt that three Oscar-winners-Pacino, Sarandon, and director Barry Levinson-have come together to make a film that won’t be at least a little sympathetic to its subject.
What viewers will probably see is a story about a man whose excesses hurt an otherwise noble cause and led to his downfall at the hand of religious zealots.
Of course, there’s nothing noble or “compassionate” about physician-assisted suicide-and you don’t have to be religious to believe that.
No one would call the British magazine Spiked religious or even traditionalist. Yet, it recently ran two pieces about why assisted-suicide should remain illegal. In one of them Kevin Yuill of the University of the Sunderlands makes clear what many assisted-suicide advocates try to obscure: The ultimate goal isn’t to alleviate suffering, but to enshrine in law “the right of any person to end their life.”
This “right,” according to Yuill, threatens the “assumption that human life is valuable.”
He calls suicide a “deeply anti-social act” that destroys “possibilities”-not just, obviously, for the individuals themselves, but for others too. Yuill insists that it’s this social harm and not what he terms “outmoded religious beliefs” that lies behind the “taboo against suicide.”
In the other piece, editor Mick Hume adds that the “right to die” is the result of a “loss of faith-not in God, but in humanity.” Hume decries the lack of belief in “the human capacity to transcend the limitations of our lives.” In this “demoralized” setting, the wish for a “good death” replaces “the aspiration for a better life.”
What Hume and Yuill miss completely is the connection between Christian ideas and the beliefs whose passing they lament. What Hume calls “faith in humanity” is inseparable from the idea of our being created in the image of God. What Yuill calls “possibilities” is derived from Christian ideas about hope.
But that’s OK. When it comes to assisted suicide, the next big so-called rights campaign that the left will wage, we Christians welcome good, prudential arguments. So that even non-believers can come to understand the “aspiration for a better life.” Chuck Colson Christian Post Guest Columnist http://www.christianpost.com/article/20100314/do-you-know-jack/
