| I cannot edit at this point, but I apologize for broad-brushing too many people as liars |
|
In posting that everyone saying Stupak is innocuous is lying I went too far.
It is a very complex issue... too complex to broad-brush like that.
I question the sincerity of some, but many more have doubtless been taking a stand based on plain-reading, which is deceptive in this case. The amendment was written with the intention that it appear to be uncontroversial.
(A poison-pill is seldom labeled "poison pill")
In any event, since President Obama has offered his view on the matter I hope it will lead to more commonality of view-point.
Most of us want a bill. Most of us take choice very seriously. And most of us believe what we say when we say it.
My sincere apologies to the broad-brushed innocent
:hi:

It was not obvious at first that Stupak went so far beyond Hyde and not everyone is a slave to the 24/7 news cycle. Many who voted for Stupak probably did so thinking it was just a clarification of Hyde in this bill.

| 2. I'll give this a rec just for integrity... |
|
'cause you just showed me some. I wasn't one that you're apologizing to, but it takes a big person to do this sort of thing, and it should be encouraged.

| 4. Yeah, but it takes a bigger person to not do it in the first place! |

Poor impulse control.
Old conflicts bleed over into new issues.
I woke up in a state James Carville once called "pig-biting mad."

We're all 99% in agreement here. I don't want to fight with my DU brothers and sisters any more.
Apology accepted and I'll also apologize to you for being so brash in response to some of your OP's. :hug:

Jeebus.
Your reply should be an OP.
