Stupak Is Now On MSNBC Whining

[Me.]

still spilling his lies

[rurallib]

1. did he pull that list of 12 congress critters that support him out of his pocket?

ETA - did the interviewer ask him about the subsidized rent from the Family?

[RainDog]

2. did they ask him how he feels supporting an organization that harbors pedophiles?

that's his constituency, apparently.

[Me.]

5. No, They Were Trying To Reason With An Unreasonable Man

Whose feelings have been hurt by people cussing (his word) at him.

[Blue Owl]

3. What does he want -- a fucking Whitman's sampler?

Jeeezus.

[Me.]

6. What He Wants Is What His Bishop Pals Want

You know, those guys who have allowed pedophilia and cruelty to run rampant throughout the entire world, and that is to subjugate women and control their choices and bodies.

[butterfly77]

4. Who is this republiCON trying to fool...

he knows damn well that their is nothing that says abortion is not in the bill.

He is doing his best to help his party,he knows he doesn't give a damn about abortion because he could care less about the children once they arrive...

[Johonny]

7. I now understand his opposition to abortion

he's such a little baby, he must be afraid they'll abort him.

[Dr.Phool]

20. Introduce a bill to allow retroactive abortions.

Bye-bye Bart!

[Joanne98]

8. He's using abortion as an excuse. The Family was formed to protect the rich.

From unions and taxes. That's all they care about. It's all in Jeff Sharlet's book The Family!

Stupak is just protecting the 'for-profit' system.

[Supersedeas]

17. there's the rub

[Jennicut]

18. Totally. The Family helped elect him, they want him to do their bidding.

It is not about abortion, at all.

[tavalon]

9. Can you hear us now, Stupid, er, Stupak?

[kentuck]

10. He's a good Republican..

almost as good as Blanche Lincoln. Let them win with Republican votes, I say.

[Me.]

11. Talking About Republicans...

Wu, D from Oregon was being asked if he would vote yes and who does he quote, RayGun for God's sake, "trust but verify".

[cascadiance]

12. Damn, I'm going to have to ask Wu about that as my congress critter!

[Me.]

13. Do

Since when do dems reference Ronnie when being asked to stand by their party?

[cascadiance]

15. Well I think Obama references Ronnie more than I care for too. I wish he'd reference FDR instead!

[Me.]

19. We Are In Total Agreement

I am sick to death of the great God Ronnie myths. A lot of the mess we face today can be reaced directly back to him.

[corkhead]

14. He appears to have failed his corporate overlords

[gratuitous]

16. And what is he whining about?

Will this force federal dollars to pay for a legal medical procedure? It will not. Here's the tangential relationship Stupak is trying to cut: If a person gets help paying for her medical insurance, she cannot buy a policy that will cover abortion. If she wants to have abortion covered, she will have to purchase a separate rider that covers women's reproductive health. In Stupak's mind, if a woman doesn't spend her own money to buy medical insurance in the first place, then the subsidy or the tax credit she receives translates into federal dollars purchasing her reproductive health rider to her insurance policy.

The connection is so tenuous as to be unbelievable. By Stupak's "logic," any tax credit, subsidy or benefit finances or reduces the cost of everything a person may elect to do, and MUST be subject to his whim as to whether it should be allowed. Is it a ridiculous assertion? Of course it is. And I'm sure the person interviewing Mr. Stupak has made that point abundantly clear, right?
