Stupak: Pelosi And Hoyer Haven't Talked To Me (VIDEO)

"....so they'll wait until the last minute and see if they can run -- do an end run, get the votes without us."

What a team player.

Hey Bart! B.O.H.I.C.A. Get used to it, Mr. Team Player.

dude, it's not an end run if they don't need your vote. it's called, not wasting any more time on d**k weeds.

PoliSci 101: when you announce an irrevocable position people will start to take you for granted.

Theocrat fool.

"Me, me, me, me, me!"

Dumbass!

"In an interview aired last night on Greta Van Susteren's show on Fox News" Everything you need to know about Bart Stupak in the 1st 12 words.

How stupak is this guy?

Stupak is not standing in opposition to the bill because he believes abortion is murder - Stupak is standing in opposition to the bill because it's many provisions prohibiting the federal funding of abortion do not bear the name "Stupak" on them. And that makes Stupak sad. And if Stupak is sad, then all those poor uninsured people will just have to go without health coverage until the world recognizes the brilliance of Stupak. And only Stupak. Not some other, abortion-funding-prohibition measures that are not Stupak.

Good. Freeze the bastard out. Of this issue, and especially out of any issue that is REALLY important to his district. Icehole.

This is his own fault. He let the narrative of "The Senate bill allows for federal funding of abortion" gain traction, so if he votes for it then he's voting for abortion. This isn't about what he believes, but about public perception. Unless he's a moron like a good portion of the rest of the American people.

If he had immediately come out and 'endorsed' the abortion language in the Senate bill as 'not as powerful but still acceptable' then he could vote for it. Now it's too late for him to backtrack.

It pisses me off that any congressman, but especially a Democrat, would help kill what has been a decades-long goal of the party - all because it doesn't place *more* restrictions abortion.

If he really feels strongly about the need to further restrict abortion, that's fine. Let him introduce his own legislation independent of this package that would restrict abortion to his liking, find a co-sponsor in the Senate, and let the chambers vote on it separately.

They should lean on his cronies and make it clear they'll be outsiders in the caucus, just like Mr. Stupak. Maybe a few of them will flip.

Jeebus, this guy really is a media freak, 15 minutes of fame is not enough, eh Bart??
