Stupak And Dems Celebrate Health By Getting Drunk

Stupak, Clearly Shaken by his Vote, Closes Bar with Fellow Dems
Bart Stupak and several Democratic buddies closed the bar last night in Washington DC.



Roll Call reported:

What better way to celebrate passing history-making legislation than kicking back at a dive bar famous for its cheap beer and taxidermy-heavy décor? A large group of House Democrats defied cigar-and-champagne stereotypes by partying down until the wee hours after the health care vote at the decidedly downscale Tune Inn on Pennsylvania Avenue.

HOH spies say the gaggle of jubilant Democrats included Rep. John Larson (Conn.), who got a roar of welcome when he entered the bar; Rep. Joe Crowley (N.Y.), who was briefly spotted standing behind the bar, handing out drinks; and Reps. John Boccieri (Ohio), Melissa Bean (Ill.), Tom Perriello (Va.) and Jerry Costello (Ill.).

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who had been the center of attention all weekend after resisting the abortion-related language in the bill but ultimately voting for the package, was among Tune Inn’s revelers. An HOH spy says Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) planted a giant kiss on Stupak’s cheek.

The celebration continued until the bar issued its last call for drinks, our tipsters say.

The Political Cost Of Health Care

Much has been said of the economic cost of health care which, simply put is that we can't afford this bill of entitlements. The political cost may be higher for the Democrats.

They probably have lost the pro-life vote for the foreseeable future. This will cut across many religious groups. It is unfortunate to the nth degree that Nancy Pelosi, allegedly a Catholic, directed this fight.

Many different political groups have been awakened from their slumber. Conservatives that thought their back was covered have rejoined the fray. Republicans who were uncommitted are now energized. Moderate Republicans who do that, "Oh, I just vote for the best candidate," now see in stark terms what that has accomplished. Independents and especially those that weren't interested in politics may not know that the Republican Party is their home, but they well know now that the Democrat Party is not their political home, in fact, it is a bordello to be avoided.

Older Americans are very angry with what the Democrats have done to them financially (and how they were used as bartering chips) and the young voter demographic is now more pro-life and conservative than in recent history.

Working Americans, many of them Blue Collar workers who thought they were voting for hope and change, know that vast amounts of money is being spent and someone will have to pay it back. That it is being spent on health care reform in place of jobs and the economy only compounds their anger.

The most important group affected is that block of voter that smells a rat. They may not have the intense involvement, thus the deep knowledge, of what is in the health care reform bill, but they know it stinks. It stinks the way it was passed, it stinks because they know they were lied to and it stinks because of their common sense which tells them that this whole charade is bull.

Many of this last group will vote Republican in the near future, but others that may have voted Democrat in the past will just fade into the, “they’re all liars,” group of voters.

If I was breaking out the demographic profile for the Democrats I’d be scratching my head a lot, because the historical number crunching method isn’t going to work next time around.

Stupak Or Tiger?

'IT WAS HORRIFIC. IT WAS DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR'...

'I TRIED TO STOP BUT I COULDN'T'...

 

Your call.

America Got Stupaked

Stupaked: deluded, fooled, duped or lied to.

Stupak Continues To Embarrasses Himself

"It is Democrats that continue to stand up for life (with this bill)."

"This motion is to politicize life."

I thought I saw puppet strings holding Stupak up. This guy is dumber than a box of rocks. He is being played like the cheap violin he is.

Remember, Republicans, Including RINO's Are Still Fighting The ObamasCare Debacle

Will this crap pass? Yes. Will it still be crap after Obama signs it? Yes and more so.

None of the fixes promised will be fixed. None of the promises of parity, fairness nor the promises of no abortion money through the fed will ever be realized. The starter home that Harkin talked about will become a monsterous house of horrors in which construction will never cease.

That voters appreciate what Republicans are doing is obvious, but Democrats still have their blinders on and are focused only on each other.

Stupak's troubles are only begininng.

And Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, said the group was set to give Stupak her group's "Defender of Life" award next week, but instead "we’re going to be working hard to see who we can find to run against him.”

“In a completely cynical move, they have made this bill passable and each of them are going to pay individually," she said. "And that’s what we do. That’s what we love to do is unelect people who say they're for life and then completely betray the movement.”

On  another note to Kaptur, Driehouse, Wilson, etc., how does it feel to betray one’s values? Who’s hatin' on you now. Ain't me. I just feel sorry for you for what everybody knew from the beginning, you'd betray what you believe in for political expediency and political gain. How’s that gain looking for you now?

STUPAK CAVES

An Executive Order from Obama is what changed his vote from pro-life to pro-abortion. As my used car salesman told me, "Sure, you can trust me."

Now Stupak is not to be believed by either side of the aisle. There's always a need for used car salesmen.

Stupak Bending And Breaking?

Stupak states he is still negotiating with the White House on the abortion language in HCR and sources say he will vote yes in the vote.

Don't be stupid Stupak. Obama and Pelosi will not only never work with you again, they will knife you as they throw you under the bus. That is how they work. They have fewer morals than most abortion doctors.
