Bart Stupak was holding on his vote until anti-abortion language was added to the health bill recently passed by Congress. Unfortunately for all the babies, he was not the stalwart defender of life he pretended, working with Obama to vote yes in return for an executive order regarding the abortion issue.
Here’s the worthless executive order ‘mandating’ that federal funds not go to fund abortions. Executive orders can be ignored or repealed with no vote. It has the value of a campaign promise.
The real 30 pieces of silver? People are saying it could have been airport funding.
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Menominee) announced three airports in northern Michigan have received grants totaling $726,409 for airport maintenance and improvements. The funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration.
“This federal funding will help these airports better provide critical services to communities in northern Michigan,” Stupak said. “I am pleased the FAA has made this investment in our local airports and the individuals and businesses they serve.”

Da ogne bocca dirompea co’ denti
un peccatore, a guisa di maciulla,
si` che tre ne facea cosi` dolenti.A quel dinanzi il mordere era nulla
verso ‘l graffiar, che talvolta la schiena
rimanea de la pelle tutta brulla.<< Quell'anima la` su` c'ha maggior pena >>,
disse ‘l maestro, << e` Giuda Scariotto,
che 'l capo ha dentro e fuor le gambe mena.De li altri due c'hanno il capo di sotto,
quel che pende dal nero ceffo e` Bruto:
vedi come si storce, e non fa motto!;e l'altro e` Cassio che par si` membruto.
Ma la notte risurge, e oramai
e` da partir, che' tutto avem veduto >>.Dante’s Inferno, Canto XXXIV
Translation:
At every mouth he with his teeth was crunching
A sinner, in the manner of a brake,
So that he three of them tormented thus.To him in front the biting was as naught
Unto the clawing, for sometimes the spine
Utterly stripped of all the skin remained.“That soul up there which has the greatest pain,”
The Master said, “is Judas Iscariot;
With head inside, he plies his legs without.Of the two others, who head downward are,
The one who hangs from the black jowl is Brutus;
See how he writhes himself, and speaks no word.And the other, who so stalwart seems, is Cassius.
But night is reascending, and ’tis time
That we depart, for we have seen the whole.”
