Bart Stupak, Bob Casey, Dale Kildee. What do all of them have in common? I'll tell you - they all proclaimed to be pro-life Democrats and then sold out the unborn, essentially throwing them right in the wood chipper head first with the passage of Obamacare that taxpayers to fund elective abortions. In the summer of 2009 I predicted that purportedly pro-life MI Democrat Bart Stupak would fold like a cheap K-Mart
picnic table and vote for ObamaCare even though it will throw taxpayer money at the abortion industry:
There's no such thing as a moderate Democrat, only liberal Democrats in conservative districts. Example #2,927 - Bart Stupak. Indeed I have said it before (many times) and I will say it again (many times) - there is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat, only liberal Democrats serving in right-of-center districts. Oh they may claim to be pro-life, but the difference between them and true pro-lifers is that the issue is not just one of several competing against each other. No. For the true-pro-lifer, abortion holds absolute veto power. It's not the same as single-issue voting, mind you, as pro-lifers are just as concerned about other issues such as the economy, takes,
healthcare, etc. It's just that no other issue would goad the pro-life politician, or voter for that matter, into casting a vote against the unborn no matter how benign it appears on its face. I have written about this issue extensively on this blog, with these few posts as mere examples:
You'll note Michigan Rep Dale Kildee was on that list of traitors. US Rep Dale Kildee (D-Flint) is another one of these fake pro-life Democrats that claimed one thing only to end up perhaps being the deciding vote on passing the pro-abortion healthcare bill in the House; thus he will Kildee babies. But it's for the greater good don't you know. Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, or in this case scrambling them as well. But his contortion in
trying to explain why he is throwing unborn babiesw under the bus, a visual far more appealing than what Planned Parenthood will literally do to them, got getting pretty crazy. He claimed that his priest basically gave him a
green light. Said priest vehemently denied it, and said that Kildee doesn't attend church much either. People like myself have been saying forever that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRO-LIFE DEMOCRAT! So it's only fitting that Kildee is aborting his re-election to a 19th term in Congress:
U.S. Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Flint, announces he will not seek 19th term U.S. Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Flint, announced this evening he will not seek re-election to his 19th term in office.
Kildee, 81, has been a lawmaker at the state and federal levels for 47 years.
The kicker comes at the end:
Kildee has been known to say he would remain in office until "God or the voters" decide otherwise.
Like his fake pro-life stance, those words weren't worth paying any attention to either. MLive has a ton of links with liberals heaping adulation on part of the machine that has decimated the economy:
By the way, how's Flint doing after his 40 years in Congress (for that matter, how have Conyers and Dingell's districts fared after even longer tenures?)? Yeah - he was
that bad. You'll note that Democrats are insisting in nepotism to solve their problem in the aborted re-election effort. Michigan Republican Party Chairman Bobby Schostak spoke the truth in that Kildee's political days were numbered thank to the community organizer-in-chief:
Michigan Republican Party chairman blames Obama for Rep. Dale Kildee's retirement"Michigan conservatives and tea party activists were eager for another shot in 2012," said Michigan Republican Party Chairman Bobby Schostak a news release. "Given that Democrats have to run on Obama's miserable record on jobs, national debt, and the economy, it's no wonder Kildee decided that a graceful exit was preferable to a certain defeat."
..."Barack Obama is going to have to explain his record to the taxpayers, families, and unemployed workers of Michigan at some point," Schostak said in the news release. "Voters won't be buying what he's selling, and representative Kildee didn't want to be his pitchman."
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
