The louse said he was going to not support the bill if it supplied funds for abortions.
It does.
He voted for it anyway.
It does, and will provide funds for abortions.
Good intentions? ‘Oh, don't judge me by the actual outcome of my actions, the outcome that as soon as I began my actions you all said was counterproductive to my stated goal, my intentions were good.’ Please.
We all knew that the Stupak amendment was a fig leaf. We told him it was. He said he would only support the bill if the language was preserved. It was stripped from the bill and he voted for it anyway.
His intentions were never honorable. His courage was always doubtful. His convictions were nowhere to be seen.
Again, he stipulated elective abortions. Fine, you do not believe he believes this. You do not believe the man has any convictions. Believe me when I say I do have convictions. Strong ones on this subject. After our day long conversation, I would hope you would at least believe that. We can disagree about Stupak. He voted for healthcare...I cannot defend him on that except like Rodriquez and Cuellar here in San Antonio, they truly believe this is the best for their country and their constituents were overwhelmingly for it..and they are the ones who will vote for them come time for them to be re elected. It is how politicians vote..the way it get them re elected. This is not my ..or your...first time at that rodeo.
