Breaking: Stupak Will Retire
Apr 9 2010, 8:07 AM ET
WWW.MSNBC.COM
________________________ ______________
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) plans to annnounce his retirement today, Democrats briefed on his decision said. Stupak, the leader of a pro-life faction within his party, had received death threats and was under intense political pressure after he agreed to support the Democratic health care reform legislation, even though pro-life groups insisted that it would allow federal funds to be used for abortion.
Stupak negotiated a compromise with the White House, which resulted in President Obama's issuing of an executive order clarifying the executive branch's view of the subject. For that, Stupak was called a traitor to the pro-life cause. Stupak has represented Michigan's first congressional district for 18 years. He will make public his decision at a press conference later today.
Stupak hinted at this course in a letter to constituents on Wednesday. His district, representing parts of the state's upper peninsula, is marginal: President Obama received 50% of the vote there.
Charlevoix County Commissioner Connie Saltonstall will probably take Stupak's place as the Democratic nominee.

I wonder what really happened with him and the administration. The presidential paper that was signed certainly wasn't what Stupak & others were originally looking for...which was a change to the language of the bill. I think Stupak folded under the administration's heavy hand.
-
Its called selling your soul for 30 shillings of silver.
-
Ironic that the leader of the Pro-Life platform received death threats.
Probably from Christians too, no doubt.
-
There are crazy people everywhere Lurker. But it does look like Stupak caved pretty good on this one.

Pro-life, but he is a sleazy, corrupt, scumbag DEMOCRAT.
Please provide proof that the "christians" did it.
Otherwise, since you have no evidence you should take the same advice you give christians regarding their belief in God which is "keep your nonsense to yourself."

I think its painfully obvious he and the other dems did fold but I too would like to know the details as to why.

The Pro Life stance is valid if you are a Republican? That is what you are saying?
With that mentality, it is easy to see why I support Pro-Choice.
You are still beyond "pretty stupid" you know.

who is Jesus to Stupak's Judas?
-
He chose to run like the ‘Rat coward he is, than take the a$$-kicking that was coming from the voters in November. Typical DemocRat.
-
The American taxpayer who works 50% of the year to fund these scumbags' salaries, pensions, etc.
-

Let's not complicated things here with logical questions.
-
Oh the irony of inability to actually see the irony here.
you mean like those who are pro choice but feel that men shouldnt have a choice in the matter? ;)
-
Laura Ingraham has it that Bawney Fwank is going to retire as well.
-
you mean like those who are pro choice but feel that men shouldnt have a choice in the matter? ;)
Or like those who are Pro Life but support the death penalty?
-

Does it occur to you that some believe there is a difference between innocent life and those who have committed horrific acts that society deems worthy of the DP?
-

LOL at least we are consistent on one subject...abortion we are pro life b/c the baby is innocent and both men and women should take responsibility for their actions...criminals who have been deemed guilty should as well take responsibility for their actions as in death
pro choice feel that women should hav a choice to walk away from a pregnancy but not men...so women should have the choice to shuck their responsibility but men have to under the law ;)
::)
you guys cant even get on the same page on one issue ;)

Does it occur to you that the outcome is still the same? A life is taken.
Or is that too much to comprehend so the only thing left is to spin it.

there is a difference between the two one has chosen actions that they must take responsibility for...They threw their life away, what did the fetus do?
does it occur to you that making a man responsible for a womens decision isnt giving him a choice?
-
Does it occur to you that your frantic whining has NOTHING to do with the thread topic?
If you don't like the fact you have no say so over a woman's body and decision to carry or abort, don't get the bitch pregnant. That's pretty simple. Whining about it on an internet message board isn't changing anything.
-
I'm for both abortion and the death penalty.. 8)
-
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANOTHER GARBAGE MODERATE CONSERVA-DEM DOWN!
Hopefully Max Baucus is next.
-
You do realize this seat is going to go to the GOP now right?

the women has a choice too, she can choose not to have sex and get pregnant but sht still gets a 2nd choice while the men dont...very pro choice of you their lurker ;)
-
GARBAGE "Moderate" CONSERVA-DEMS, like Bart Stupak are of the absolute worst political stripe to have in office.
This is the best news of the month so far.
-

Same difference as Stupak. Look at his voting record. This at least culls the herd of Conserva-Dems.

well there would have been at least one big difference...health care bill
-

It's called sarcasm. To go hand and hand with the irony of the original post.
Perhaps when you can grasp a concept that simple, you can more easily grasp the fact that there is no concrete outcome of the little example you harp on and on all the time about.

and what does that have to do with the original topic that you chastized me for going of topic about?
again oh the irony
-
Because mine was actually relevant to the sarcasm involved.
Yours? Not.
But hey, no harm in trying huh?

What is your opinion on christian democrats?

Isn't getting the abortion what a responsible pregnant adult would do with an unwanted pregnancy? It's the choice of pro-life republicans! http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2013/07/24/desjarlais-pro-life-congressman-who-urged-abortions-for-ex-wife-and-mistress-is-running-again
Say you banged some chick and the rubber broke. A few weeks later you get the call that the stork is on the way. You don't want to marry that chick and you certainly don't want a kid with her..forever. I think I see a way out of this.

A hypocritical one of course. You can't expect anything logical from that retard.
