Interesting how the supporters of this bill and their gofers in the mainstream media have for months told everyone willing to listen that pro-lifers were either misinformed or lying to make political hay out of the inclusion of federal abortion-funding loopholes in this bill; yet, now we are told that the President, in order to sway the pro-life democrats into voting for it, promised to issue an executive order stripping those non-existant provisions from the final version passed. :bigyikes:The Executive Order will reiterate the the Hynes ammendment which has never changed. There was no funding for abortion in the bill. Do your homework
I am reminded of the hysterical, apoplectic monotony of the political left over their charges that our former President “lied” about WMD’s in Iraq while summarily dismissing the caveat that intelligence agencies around the world and at home, as well as Saddam Hussein himself, all assured us that they were there before the majority of those same leftists voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq. Have you not figured out yet that there really weren’t any wmd in Iraq. The bill stated that the president had the authority to invade if he knew of an imminent danger to America. He took it to mean he could do anything he wanted. He made up the war. Can you deny this at this point in time. or are you still looking for weapons of mass destruction
Okay. Tell me then, you principled leftists and lovers of life and peace, who’s lying now? Myguess is your congressman or senator. Who are they?
Further, why should we trust anything that elected officials----in an allegedly-representative democracy---- tell us when we are also being told that despite a majority of voters being in opposition to this bill; Please don’t go there months of debate and clarification; hours worth of speeches and policy-wonking; and, primetime interviews and press conferences by the President in more abundance than lobbyists in DC, The lobbyist in Washington are 36 to one. we are just too ignorant to understand what is good for us and that, given a few more months to explain our misgivings and misunderstandings away (the ones we didn’t catch in over a year of wrangling and verbiage) we will finally see the wisdom of our shepherdic, benevolent and wise leaders in voting against the wishes of their contituencies? Try looking up how much the insurance companies have spent to get there view across
Oh, and remember the then President-elect’s promise to “…fundamentally change the United States of America?” Why are we now being told that, despite being “historic” and “remedial” this bill in no way fundamentally changes the United States of America? Are you on VA health plan or Medicare? Do you have insurance?
Once again for those of us simply too obtuse to cut through the “fog of division” perpetrated by “astroturf-opposition” since the great uniter entered into office…who’s lying now?
