Who's the Fool?

Is Stupak a fool for thinking Obama's "Executive Order" actually means anything?  Or are we the fools for actually supporting Stupak and hoping we might find a genuine pro-life Democrat?  The answer to both is "yes".  It is clear that Stupak was just posturing all along.

This bill will bankrupt this country, expand abortion and ration health care.

Health Care Bill Passes Congress after Last-Minute Stupak Flip-Flop

On Sunday evening the U.S. Congress voted to approve the Democrats’ pro-abortion health care reform bill in a 219-212 vote.

The bill edged through the House after Rep. Bart Stupak announced earlier this afternoon that he and his fellow group of Democrats who had been holding out for language banning abortion funding, had struck a deal with the White House. That deal involved the promise of an executive order from Obama that Stupak said would uphold the Hyde amendment in health care reform, and prevent abortion funding.

The group of Democrats led by Stupak then promised to throw their weight behind the bill, pushing it past the 216 vote threshold that it needed to become law.

The executive order deal, however, has been unanimously condemned by pro-life advocates, including the National Right to Life Committee and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, as woefully inadequate.
