Hit and Run

Just like a driver who flees the scene after inflicting both physical and immeasurable psychological damage, Bart Stupak has now decided to flee the scene of his crime and retire from the U.S. Senate. Like so many other Democrats who have already read the handwriting on the wall, Stupak is getting out while the getting is good. The worst thing for any politician is to lose in an election and this guy had a big "L" all over his forehead. This phony Pro-Lifer and his contingent of 8 or 11 others who are supposedly Pr0-Life almost single-handedly allowed for the final passage of the health care reform bill. He and that stupid contingency of other Pro-Life Democrats bought into Obama's lie that the abortion expansion that had been written into the health care law could be easily overridden by a Presidential executive order. If that were true, then a line-item-veto would never been needed to exclude individual spending items from any Congressional Budget Bill. But, we all know that no President has the power to do that.

So, as it stands right now, "Stupak the Stupid", becomes another in a long list of sacrificial lambs that were slaughtered at the unholy altar of Obama, Pelosi and Reid so Obama could have a legacy other than possibly being the worst President this country has ever seen.

I say... Good riddance!
