Stupak Ally in House Approves Senate Abortion Restrictions
Representative Dale Kildee, Democrat of Michigan and a strong opponent of abortion, announced on Wednesday that he was satisfied with the provisions in the Senate-passed health care bill that seek to limit the use of federal money for insurance coverage of abortion.
The bottom line really is if you lose your base support you’re doomed. Better to side with your base than it is to speculate as to what the independent vote is going to do. The independent is going to help you fund a campaign or ring door bells for you.
Instead of an congressional approval rating poll I’d like to see a poll that asks who do you blame for the current tone in congress the Dems or Repugs.
Oh man,that’s right.I listened to Lincoln this morning on Morning Joe and she’s a phony too.All she talked about is how she’s tries to find common ground and do what’s right for Arkansans,what dribble.Its amazing how politics works though,both former President Clinton and President Obama back her,she might as well be a Republican,what’s up with that??Oh well,they say politics make strange bed fellows,true true..
“Both dems and repug. Dems for being wimps and repugs for being hypocritical and stupid.”
Bev,
I agree.I don’t let either party off the hook! If anything,i’m at times tougher on Dems,hold their feet to the fire and demand the change we voted for..I don’t know though,at times i wonder if it does any good?I look at Liberal groups like Adam Greens,he worked hard for the Public Option,commendable guy,but next to the healthcare lobby, he didn’t stand a chance..
Ha,still find it hard to watch Tweety,so smug and all knowing at times! I will never forget how he championed Bush and admitted on one of his shows in I think 2001, that he voted for Bush..
Remember how Tweety gushed the day Bush landed on that aircraft carrier? He acted like he had the hots for Bush.
Bev, I agree with you. Both parties suck. And like Tony, I have no problem holding Dem feet to the fire. I expect the repugs to be worthless asses; I expect far better from the Dems. Too bad I’m so often disappointed by them.
After completing your census form I think everyone should make a copy and send it Michelle Bachman’s office with a big red F.U. written across the front!
Nanny,
I sure do remember Tweety gushing over Bush on the carrier,he followed the Bush narrative until his second term.Oh, i agree with you about the Republican’s.I expect nothing from them,but Dems core values are better than this,so i will call them out when they don’t deliver,hoping they will get back to themselves..
Yep,told Grace today again that her tea party compatriot Bachman is crazy! Telling people yesterday “You don’t have to pay the new government taxes on this healthcare bill”,sure her well known ass won’t go to jail,but the everyday tea party nut will..Whats up with the Minnesota district that put her in office???
Brian, I can’t look at that video again. It makes me want to vomit. What the hell is wrong with those people? Is that what they learn in their so-called Christian churches? Say what you will about Catholicism, but at least we are taught compassion.
Watching Larry O,the President handled himself well with that Fox jerk,but still it pisses me off.From the you lie congressman to right wing reporters and talk show crazies,there just seems to be a lack of respect for the office of the Presidency…
Sadly Nanny Israel is no more immune to it’s nut bag crazy right wing crowd anymore than we are here. Obama is Israel’s best hope for a lasting peace, lets hope they wake up and smell the coffee (my expression for the day!)

Obama Puts Off Asia Trip, Again, to Deal With Health Care
President Obama has decided not to leave on a scheduled trip
to the Pacific on Sunday, the second such delay in his travel
plan, in order to maintain full attention on the health care
overhaul before Congress. “The president greatly regrets the
delay,” said his spokesman, Robert Gibbs. “Passage of the
heath insurance reform is of paramount importance, and the
president is determined to see this battle through.” The trip
will be rescheduled for June, the White House said.
The current version of the state budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year, which starts July 1, eliminates all money for the Drug Assistance Program, which provides life-saving HIV/AIDS drugs to the state’s low-income, uninsured and underinsured residents.
The latest Rasmussen poll has John McCain up over primary challenger and former Rep. J.D. Hayworth by a mere 7 points. As a point of comparison, Rasmussen’s last poll of this race, from two months ago, had McCain holding a 22 point margin.
“Christiane Amanpour To Host âThis Weekâ On ABC”
This should be interesting. George Stephanopoulos was never tough on guests or members of the round table. Amanpour reminds me of strict Catholic nuns.
Betsy Markey (D-CO) declared she’s a yes vote today. Hopefully that will put an end to all the commercials telling us to call her and say “yes” or “no.”
This is a pretty courageous position for Markey. She represents Colorado’s 4th CD which is pretty red outside of a few pockets. She defeated the hideous three term Republican Marilyn Musgrave.
I thought the best part of Hardball was the end, where Tweety brought up the nut-job that says that we should replace Grant’s image with Reagan’s on the $50 bill. Not the part where he brought up the obvious: Grant won the Civil War and was a popular two term president. What was interesting was when he pointed out that revisionist historians painted Grant poorly. Unsaid, but clearly obvious was that revisionist historians have painted Reagan as a great president.
An AZ example of Dem wimps. My congressman, Harry Mitchell, and the one from the Tucson area, G. Gifford, are both sitting on the fence according to the morning paper. I hope it has changed since this am.
If Harry votes against it, I will not vote for him again. My hubby worked the streets for him in 2008. That won’t happen again, I can assure you.
If the blue dogs can’t stick get their ass together for the Dem prez’s primary cause, then they can become official repugs. The dems just can’t get it thru their head that they have control. They don’t know how to handle it. They all suck.
I think you’re right Brian. Stupak may be stupid, as his argument is specious, or he could be using this to get his face on TV. But my guess is that Nancy Pelosi asked him if he likes his balls and would he like to keep them.
I doubt it, Brian. I think he knows he’s fucked no matter what so he’s going to stick to his guns and play the martyr. He seems to enjoy doing the “woe is me” routine. Asswipe!
Brian,
Very good links today,the S.Carolina cuts in funding for People HIV/AIDS is sad and ignorant.I don’t know about Stupac changing his mind,fundamentalists rarely do,he’s blinded! Rachael has been fab on calling him out..
Healthcare votes an “affront to God”?
Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann and Steve King all slam Dems for timing of votes
Their latest complaint? The way that a couple important votes have happened to run up against religious holidays. The Senate voted on its version of the legislation on the day before Christmas last year, and now it looks like the House will vote this Sunday. As Beck and King pointed out Thursday, this Sunday happens to fall during Lent. They weren’t happy about that. http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/03/18/dems_timing/index.html
Beck talking about God,what BS! Its an affront to their God to let 45,000 people a year die from lack of healthcare.Beck’s a Mormon,that’s something i know a bit about,silly man,how will he meet his loved one’s at the Temple???
“Has Rahm’s assumption about progressives been vindicated?”
“Last September, Rep. Anthony Weiner said:
All of the protest letters in the world donât add up to much if you donât finally stand up and vote No on something the President and Nancy want. There is clearly a sense that progressives in Congress are easily rolled. . . .
If the Congressional left can’t pass even something as modest as a watered down public option, then frankly I donât think anyone is going to take the left very seriously later on in this Congress. When Blue Dogs talk, there are fewer of them but they have more influence than when progressives talk . . . You can only shake the saber so often before someone expects you to use it.
Weiner, however, is one of those House members who is now voting for the final bill even after vowing unequivocally that he’d vote NO if it did not include a public option. Whether he’s doing the right thing is a separate question; what’s clear is that he’s the author of his own powerlessness for exactly the reason he himself so eloquently described just five months ago.”
Yep,wasn’t it Rahm who said don’t worry about those Hillary supporters they will come home!It seems like Rahm is spot on and a real valuable asset to President Obama….
Brian,
I had the thoughts about Rahm after reading the Greenwald Salon link i posted earlier.Rahm it appears is pretty spot on in much of his political assessments..
Tweety link was good,shows the tea baggers for what they really are..Love how Tweety points out how when Republicans have control they do nothing on healthcare..
âHowâs it been? Like a living hell.â â Rep. Bart Stupak
Poor Bart Stupak.
“Yeah, women whose privacy rights are targeted by a religious zealot tend to take that very personally.
However, Mr. Stupak must be positively thrilled that he gets to play the martyr. Itâs the starring role of his political lifetime.
And just in case you thought this was a principled stand, itâs not. Via Reality Check, when Mr. Stupak was confronted with a White House letter reportedly ârepresenting 59,000 nuns that was sent to lawmakers urging them to pass the health care bill,â his response was a shrug:
The conservative Democrat dismissed the action by the White House saying, âWhen Iâm drafting right to life language, I donât call up the nuns.â He says he instead confers with other groups including âleading bishops, Focus on the Family, and The National Right to Life Committee.â (emphasis added)
Bart Stupak, serving the patriarchy through Congress.
Stupak is a sexist for sure,he as a man knows whats best for women and their bodies..Bastard,he needs a primary challenge,but his district in Michigan is probably so conservative the Republican would probably win then..
It’s snowing pretty hard. Yesterday’s high was in the upper 60’s. Not suppose to reach 30 today. It snowed on the last day of summer and now it’s snowing on the last day of winter.

http://thesuperficial.com/2010/03/rielle_hunter_is_a_liar_get_ou.php

Wow Blanche Lincoln is really taking a stand! Give me a friggin break dnd.

She’s a two faced coward.
