Stupak Sales Out!!!Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) sales out big time! Following the successful vote in the House or Representatives today, House Republicans raised a motion to recommit. In their motion the Republicans moved to have a vote on the inclusion of an amendment to the Senate Health Care Bill that would include language like that of the Stupak Amendment which would protect against federally funded abortions.
During rebuttal, Democrats then ushered Rep. Stupak to the pulpit where he proceeded to tell the Republican party that the amendment that they were proposing did not seek to protect against federally funded abortions even though the Republican Amendment was referred to by the Republicans as the Stupak amendment. So, Stupak is saying that his own amendment is not anti-federally funded abortions and that the unenforceable executive order offered up by President Obama was? WOW! What does that say about Rep. Stupak, besides that he has no idea how the law works - which is scary in and of itself since he is a lawmaker?
It is clear that Rep. Stupak sold out to President Obama following a closed door meeting with him where the president promised, and we all know how Obama keeps promises, that he would sign an executive order which would protect against federally funded abortions. Well, that's nice Mr. President, however an executive order is not law and does not supersede law or trump law in any way. Therefore, no court in land will even consider any executive order issued by the president when deciding a case to cover abortions using federal funds since the Senate Health Care Bill that just passed allows for a mere accounting trick that would essentially allow for them.
Rep. Stupak held out until the day of the vote before he changed his vote and before he committed the mother of all flip-flops essentially calling his amendment a joke. But Rep. Stupak is no different than other Democrats in the House. Speaker Nancy Pelosi or President Obama pressured all of the swing votes that Democrats needed in order to pass this bill. Most of them held out until each of them, in turn, got a personal visit from either Speaker Nancy Pelosi or President Obama, and after their visit they miraculously changed their votes. Hmmm, now isn't that strange? Well, it gets even stranger when Rep. Bart Stupak stands up following the vote and denounces his own amendment. What does that tell you? It tells me that something was said in that meeting that persuaded Rep. Stupak to sale out his political career because now nobody will believe a word this guy says again.
Rep. Stupak ran on a pro-life platform but when challenged to stand up for his ideals Stupak decided to sale them out for his political party. Americans will see this sale out exactly for what it is, and that is that Stupak probably cut some deal like the rest of the Democrat vote changers after they met with Nancy Pelosi and President Obama. Moreover, Americans will see that Obama's approach to politics is not one of "change" and that it is more of an augmentation of the corrupt politics that Americans want nothing more to do with.
Congress if you don't agree with me and what I am saying about the sentiment of the American people, then just go look at your approval ratings. Upwards of 70% disapproval ratings is not a good thing.
