I’m having quite a time training one ear to listen to the radio station listed above AND CSPAN! Anyone watching CSPAN? The House members are wrangling – pretty funny.

They’re going to vote on the House Health care bill today.

_________________________________________________

shame on them for not postponing the vote and honoring the Fort Hood victims.

WOW MURPHY THANK YOU SO MUCH I was just going to post this excerpt from HALF THE SKY

Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, in their book Half the Sky brings up this topic in one of his chapters: Is Islam Mysoginistic?

A politically incorrect point must be noted here. Of the countries where women are held back and subjected to systematic abuses such as honor killings and genital cutting, a very large proprtion are predominantly Muslim.

In this chapter they also discuss the predominance of violence due to the high percentage of men in the 15 – 25 age range.

Young bulges may well be particularly destabilizing in conservative Muslim countries because women are largely passive and silent – amplifying the impact of young men. Moreover, in other parts of the world, young men aged fifteen through twenty-four spend many of their waking moments chasing young women. In contrast, in conservative Muslim countires, some young men make war, not love.

In strict Muslin countries such as Afghanistan, many young men have little hope of ever finding a partner. Typically in such nations there are at least 3 percent more males than females, partly because females don’t receive the same medical car as males. Also, polygamy means the wealthiest men take tow or three wives, leaving even fewer women available for the poor. The inability of a young man to settle down in a family may increase the likelihood of his drifting toward violence.

Young men in such countries grow up in an all-male environment, in a testosterone-saturated world that has the ethos of a high school boy’s locker room. Organizations made up disproportionately of young men – whether they be gangs or boys’ schools or prisons or military units – are often particularly violent. We suspect that the same can be true of entire countries.

HALF THE SKY is now the definitive work on women and the world … and after reading it you will be on a different plane of awareness when discussing any topic related to women and the world .

When Dances has a chance she will upload this flyer, along with another one she made, to the ACTION CENTER. You can download it from here for now, and from there later.
How about a Saturday Flyer Day? It’s a beautiful day for it.

Top lefthand column.

I can not believe the President is holding a meeting and will probably speak during the commission of the USS NEW YORK. I can’t even explain how I feel that he is trying to take the attention away from this momentous occasion. I wonder if he just “happened” to schedule his meeting to take the attention away from Hillary who did attend the commission?

scarlet — that is some scary shit — no wonder they don’t want anyone reading it

WHO is this pretendadent??? Where in the hell did he hatch from…the bowels of hell?

He is more Indonesian than American imnsho

(((((PUMA-SF)))))

Thank you for all your efforts. Fingers crossed that there will be MSM coverage of your rally.
_______________________________________

FL Barbara,

Thank you for representing PUMA at the commissioning of the USS New York. Please give Hillary a wave from me.
________________________________________

NOP,

Thank you for the Video showing that inspite of all the damage that occured from Katrina, New Orleans can rise above and show their love of their fellow countrymen and honor them with a wonderful ship.
________________________________________

I can not express my rage and horror in words how I feel about the callousness and disinterest of our Congress and Administration. They should not be in session today. They should be honoring the fallen and injured at Fort Hood and those that where taken from us in the atrocity of 9/11.

Instead they are trying to force a bill through that they have not read and do not have a clue about the total ramifications of the legislation that they are passing. The fact that they are even going to try to add “stronger” anti-abortion coverage to it today before they vote infuriates me to no end. If the Bishops are so focused on having this anti-abortion language added why are they not going after anti-vasectomy language. Isn’t that the same thing? Oh no wait, that would be against men.

I am going to stop here because I just have to get away for a while before my head explodes.

I understand that the media did not show the ceremony of the USS New York and Hillarys heart felt speech, key word, heartfelt because the focus was on the Sat HC meeting. How sad. Let’s not bring attention to the other terrorists huh?

I would not have come and neither would anyone I spoke to if “the apologists” was here. The woman who was requested to speak was our former Senator, but they won’t mention that, might. Make Obama look bad that he wasn’t wanted here.but hey don’t jump to conclusions.
Do you think we wanted him to stand here and say “hey folks what a great contribution Islam has made, you got a nice new ship here”

Keep him the fuck away from NY.

I want this ship to be the one that brings Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist back to the US I want him to be tied to the bow of this ship and feel the arms of those he murdered strangeling him.

Hillary looked beautiful and received a hug warm welcome.She is loved here in NY.

Sec. 399V (p. 1422) provides for grants to community “entities” with no required qualifications except having “documented community activity and experience with community healthcare workers” to “educate, guide, and provide experiential learning opportunities” aimed at drug abuse, poor nutrition, smoking and obesity. “Each community health worker program receiving funds under the grant will provide services in the cultural context most appropriate for the individual served by the program.

THEY Have totally undermined health care in this country by providing that UNLICENSED and UNTRAINED persons practice ANYTHING OMFG you cannot imagine the implications of this one provision .. this alone puts death panels to shame , this is beyond belief…

FLBarbara 11.07.09 at 1:55 pm

I cried, I listened to my president Hillary Clinton give a wonderful speech and tribute to 9/11 and she included Ft Hood.
I watched and listened on Fox which I was happy to log into, they had the complete ceremony.
I am so proud of her, she is extrodinary.

The Hole at the Heart of Our Strategy

We’re scrupulously non-judgmental about the ideology that drives terrorism.

(((HPBoston))))

I am sure that Mr don’t jump to conclusions is out of his mind that Hillary spoke of Ft Hood in the same sentence as 911

Yep Madame President speaks the truth.

I am going to try and find Hillary

BBL

Seniors will be short healthcare coverage…we will have shit for care.
All will have health czars we need a tsunami to wipe out this fucking government!!!

from Scarlet’s WSJ link

On Nov. 2, the Congressional Budget Office estimated what the plans will likely cost. An individual earning $44,000 before taxes who purchases his own insurance will have to pay a $5,300 premium and an estimated $2,000 in out-of-pocket expenses, for a total of $7,300 a year, which is 17% of his pre-tax income. A family earning $102,100 a year before taxes will have to pay a $15,000 premium plus an estimated $5,300 out-of-pocket, for a $20,300 total, or 20% of its pre-tax income. Individuals and families earning less than these amounts will be eligible for subsidies paid directly to their insurer.

wow

Well…I hope FL Barb found Hillary!

If TerryDo is around, I met Susan Miller last night. She and Henry Seltzer were at the Boston Apple Store introducing new astrology software and iphone astrology reports. Fun night!

“We’re scrupulously non-judgmental about the ideology that drives terrorism.”

You got that right. And it’s about time the war on women was acknowledged. Let’s frame it. If the super-politically correct want not to single out Islam, then hey. Fine. Call the right-wing Christians and Catholics who fuel the abortion clinic bombings and murders of abortion providers for what they are, too. Terrorists. Equal opportunity denunciation. Now we have bishops pressuring our representatives to support that outrageous Stupak amendment?! wth?

You know, neither the apologists nor any of those involved in religious struggles (is there a single war in the world not fueled by this?) give a damn about women, although they will use that rhetoric if it temporarily suits them.

That one woman author who named it on tv had an agenda not to single out Islam, but at least she A. is actively trying to drag Islam into the 21st century and B. is the only one connecting all this crap, from Noor’s murder by her father to the Richmond gang rape, as a WAR on WOMEN.

Islam tops the list. There is no going back to the dark ages to compare today’s religions with these barbarians who still stone and behead women. That was then, this is NOW. But the gang rape is now, too, and the Stupak amendment is now. We’re at war. It’s our freedom, right now. We can’t afford to frame it any other way. We can’t fight something not even being acknowledged.

Fuck you! we call it terrorism! Sick buch of killers hiding behide religion…get them the hell out of our military. Wrap em in their rugs and ship in to Iraq!!

Keep reading…
Women aren’t the problem, they’re the solution — along with men.The best way to fight poverty and extremism is to educate and empower women and girls.Half the Sky lays out an agenda for the world’s women and three major abuses: sex trafficking and forced prostitution; gender-based violence including honor killings and mass rape; maternal mortality, which needlessly claims one woman a minute. We know there are many worthy causes competing for attention in the world. We focus on this one because this kind of oppression feels transcendent – and so does the opportunity. Outsiders can truly make a difference.

So let us be clear up front: We hope to recruit you to join an incipient movement to emancipate women and fight global poverty by unlocking women’s power as economic catalysts. It is a process that transforms bubbly teenage girls from brothel slaves into successful businesswomen. You can help accelerate change if you’ll just open your heart and join in.

Obama snubs Fort Hood to relax at Camp David

Dan Riehl checks the President’s schedule and learns that Obama’s not going to Fort Hood, but rather to Camp David for the weekend.

FLB,
What a great event for you to witness. Our girl looked beautiful!
I am so ashamed of that freaking fraud they call our president.
I cannot believe that they could not hold this vote of in honor of the lost and injured at Fort Hood. shameful, selfish, and sinful.
just makes me sick.

Agree and they sent the women into the firing squad and they went with shit the men told them to say!!
What the hell are they doing? Nothing a load of nothing!!!

#55 – persephone–

I heard that Owens now has the record for most promises broke in the shortest amount of time. Wonder what the fools in NY-23 are thinking now??

#56 that was pure thuggery

look for the return of the SEIU and their interference/infiltration in the 2010 elections.

and shame on the disgraceful press for all the bullshit spin they put on it
. hope there is a special hell for them where they eat nothing but shit sandwiches and have tv’s that only show britney spears vids.

#45 HP

Actually, they weren’t yelling. And how do I know what they were speaking about? They were shouted over. Did the white males do this to the other men? Nope. To the women’s caucus.

There are women there fighting AGAINST the Stupak womb-police amendment, fyi.

they should have been shouting “kill the bill!”

hi Zee

TerryDo,

Yes, Susan is petite, but a firecracker of a speaker! Harry Seltzer, in contrast, is very tall, and Swannie’s “YUM” distracted me, hahaha, because he’s very easy on the eyes. And quite the gentleman, not stepping over, interrupting, or competing with Susan, in stark contrast with the braying male type like Scarborough we’re stuck with on the national “news” stage.

And his site, astrograph, is quite good, too.

Both of them spoke of the transits in relation to the United States, and I hate to say it, but they’re worried. Especially regarding the economy, but not just that. They didn’t dwell on that topic, or elaborate, because the focus was on the software and the audience.

Hi persephone!

What I want to know, tho, is where were they when their male colleagues were speaking? Too respectful to interrupt?

Well, we can’t say this entire mess wasn’t expected. What really burns me up, tho, is all these moron Obots whining how they want Zerobama to “fight.” Hello, morons. Hillary TOLD you she was a fighter, and you sneered at her for that and said you wanted an appeaser!

What also burns me up are all these assholes who shrieked to high heavens that Palin (even tho she wasn’t even running for prez!!!!) would foist her “prolife” views on everyone. Why weren’t they shrieking this entire year when Zero was appeasing the womb-police? Zero was “reassuring” the womb-police long before Stupak came up with this crap amendment.

I mean, these things are my personal boiling point. The secrecy, the concessions to the insurance industry, all the other points everyone’s been following suck, and were to be expected, but I guess alllllll this stuff was foreshadowed so we can’t expect the Obots to wake up even when it’s finally here and shoved in our faces. But I still want to know when the hell they plan on waking up.

Well I watched it all the whole thing and the women were pushing for THE WHOLE CRAP BILL and yes they were yelling too and I heard what they said .
These were not the women against Stupak, they never mentioned that at all!! FYI
A stunt lined up and pushing the bill.. a planned stunt!

lol dont mess with HP she will kick your ass

a great excerpt from HALF THE SKY

http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780307267146&view=excerpt

Yes it is hopeless the deals have been made, the show is going on and we are all screwed!
The factions who want to kill abortion rights by passing this bill are more than happy to go along. The insurance and drug co are feeling just grand and our doctors are going to stop practicing medicine and we are again screwed and taxed to our quick deaths. Oh and the lawyers they are all in congress and in total control.
Islam sucks and I am sure they are in the bill too, sucking off America!

sorry prpl its page 32

Nidal Hasan
Uniformed Services University School of Medicine

Moderate Muslim is an oxymoron – like jumbo shrimp or honest politician/lawyer – think about it – am getting tired of the pc crap skirting around the fact that the killer was a terrorist – anyone who says he is a muslim first, american second – kick them the hell out of the armed forces, law enforcement, etc. – they live to kill all infidels and take over the world – fuckers……….
ISLAM SUCKS and so do all of those asshole congress critters sitting in DC – none of them should be re-elected to office – they keep forgetting they work for us – instead they think of only themselves – nasty pancakes made me want to vomit while she was spinning ….creepy old creep….

and the old fraud in chief is so in tune with the country that he’s spending the weekend at Camp David – nothing about the new ship, nothing about Ft Hood, no shoutouts to Hasan – just his arm twisting behind closed doors – asshole – can we please please please impeach this arrogant narcississtic POS??????????????

Are you serious???? He’s at Camp David???

Lana 11.07.09 at 7:00 pm

FLBarbara #22 Unbelievable that the media didn’t cover this event. Very curious–Who was it that requested Hillary speak? Did they really choose her over That One? I heart NY!
——————
Lana,
it was on Fox News that’s where I saw it.

Has anyone seen this? “Unfortunately, for the thousands being turned away in clinics across America, the CDC has decided to prioritize the millionaires over the masses,” Sloan added. “First, the bailout, then the bonuses, now the vaccine. When will Washington start putting the needs of Main Street above those of Wall Street?” Goldman Sachs, for some reason (wink, wink) has received 3,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine for its employees–though I highly doubt there are 3,000 pregnant women and infants working there. Is this how they will run healthcare???

http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/43065

Pers,
Is that the “one of these does not belong” quizzes like we got in elementary school?

Lana,
yvw.. yep lots of room at Camp David for hula hooping for Mo, and BB with the boyz for o’wimpness

#86
yes!
wtf!

congress and the president are just ignoring the Ft. Hood massacre.
foreign papers are commenting on the lack of interest and media coverage.
it’s just bizarre.

I always wonder if he has secret meetings at Camp David. He seems to go there often.

Lana

we will shut up, pay up, watch our tax dollars fund all sorts of goodies for Wall St…bonuses, bailouts, preferential medical treatment..

if HC passes, according to the CBO the grand government will take 20% of everyone’s pre-tax income.

people will be serfs, working to pay for their healthcare.

i blame every democrat that didn’t scream for the bill to be killed-instead Obots wanted their f*cking public option.
happy now, drones?

now get to the back of that flu shot line, unless you’re a banker or some other important financier of political campaigns.

Can I get a mammogram on Monday?

Lana #84 what possible justification is there for any company to be given vaccine before hospitals, or given it at all? – let them line up with the rest of us.

My thought exactly, RemVem. It infuriates me. I can’t understand why this isn’t plastered across all the newspapers and news stations. It’s outrageous.

I have been watching the health care “debate” all day. “Debate” ? – it’s just an opportunity for representatives to grandstand and get on the record for the folks back home. Boehner seems to have a strategy – having asked the chaire of three committees if the Stupak amendment were to pass and as a result HR3962 also passes could they guarantee that such Stupak language would be in the final Bill. Well, of course, none of them could guarantee anything and this will cast doubts in the minds of people that the Dems have no intention to follow through on that issue. IMO the Dems have done a better job of countering any perceived inaccuracies in the Repubs assertions. Doesn’t mean the Dems are correct – they just seem to have been doing a better job of immediately making a counter point and having the last word.

murphy 11.07.09 at 8:45 pm
you can only get a mammogram if you can prove that you’ve never had an abortion prple.
——————-
WHAT????!!!! what the fluck??? Isnt breast cancer the NUMBER ONE KILLER OF WOMEN ???

Stupak is up on C-Span

No, surely you are being facetious Murph?

Rep. Rosa DeLauro – passionate argument against Stupak amendment – her time expired and she would not shut up ….

I think/ Murphy is referring to those health care plans that drop women for pre-existing conditions such as having been raped.

PumaSF
You rock! Thank you so much for all your efforts, thanks Murphy and Dances.
We do make a difference. I am glad your day was a success. We need these rallies all across the nation.

Whoops. Sorry. I’m trying to learn how to bold print one word and obviously I haven’t figured out how to END the boldface. My son may have helped me.

You can see I’m not a real savvy computer person, but I am wondering if there is a way to take the picture of the flier at the top of this thread and post it on my facebook page–like as my status or something. Any ideas?

the shock and awe on the dem blogs is amazing, considering 2 weeks ago the same people ranting were supporting government run health care.
gee, wonder what made them change their minds?
dumbasses.

Puma-SF
I held you and the marchers in my thoughts all day.
Thank you for all you do!

very far Pfft

Dances, I was thinking of all of you today as well. I’m still working on the videos. It’s taking forEVAH. I’m not kidding when I say the fliers were a big hit. You’ll see a lot of the people holding them and everyone was taking extras to hand out to their friends. The organizers were really happy that we were there and they recognized me by my Puma t-shirt. This is a real chance for us all to make a difference.

Puma-SF – congratulations on a successful march – read a report today about the young victim In Richmond and how she clutches at her heart in gratitude when she reads all the mail and good wishes she has been sent. It will take much strength to recover from her ordeal – thank you for all you have done today

RememberNovember Yes, this young woman is amazing. She is so strong and she is not backing down. She is working with the police and as she remembers things she is reporting to them. We were all able to write her a note or video. There was a videographer there today and you could walk up and send her a message.

Ha! Puma-SF, just realized that I read that at your site – love the Puma Eyes!

Politico is reporting that the Dems have locked in their 218 votes.

Lana 11.07.09 at 10:05 pm

That has been up there for a couple of hours.

There was an article in SF Gate about the rally. Just posted:

http://pumaeyes.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/richmond-march-and-rally-supports-rape-victim/

Video coming soon.

Dances: She was amazing and I have the video of her speaking. Now, we need to her to say what she is going to do to help solve the problem. I tried to get the mayor or vice mayor of San Pablo to attend and speak as most of the rapists were from San Pablo. Unfortunately, they both had “previous engagements”.

In my incredible selfish day of my own personal “stuff” I neglected to Thank the incredible efforts of PUMA SF.
I just saw the beautiful pictures of your extraordinary efforts to bring the abuse of women to the for front.
I am humbled to walk among you incredible woman.
Thank you and blessings.

Stupak emendment adopted – I think it was 240 to 194 and 1 present

Now they are voting on the Republican proposal

Republican alternative went down – 258 to 176 – looks like 2 not voted

So no doubt Pelosicare will pass in the next half or so

murphy 11.07.09 at 11:24 pm
too good to see dwp working her tiny fingers to the bone again.
LOL!
—————–
LOL!! Anything to keep me away from Bejeweled Blitz…
I knew I was missing something … an addiction!

Dances #152 was addressed to you – sorry

Thanks so much idle fingers (NOT) Murphy and busy fingers Dances

That is MUCH better – now it feels like home

They are voting on the bill right now….

Shit… shit… shit…

HR 3962 has passed
CLOSE

218 TO 214 WITH 3 VOTES LEFT

Yep big margin…. pffft…

Wonder what promises they made to those who voted for it?

That’s what disgusts me – it’s not a matter of voting one’s conscience or for the good of one’s constituents – it’s about arm twisting and bribery

When it is so close like that makes me wonder – what if we had worked harder – is there anything morer we could have done?

I wonder if the closeness of the vote will give the Senate pause?

(((Goofs))) – but damn this pisses me of royally – ME TOO

Oh dear – I realize that with so many different life experiences and with such a complicated Bill that we are not all in agreement on this blog re health care reform. Because it is SO complicated and there are limits to how much one can research I have concentrated on seniors (having experience ) and I think we are right royally screwed.

RemNov,

Okay, I’m going to make a sweeping generalizing statement here.

I don’t think we could have done anything more to change the vote… there are too many people on the hill that have been there forever and their votes are for sale along with their consinces… Until we vote all these corrupt B*stards out we will have crap like this happening.

As far as it giving the Senate pause… see above. Luckily they are moving at a snails pace as it is and the HC bill probably won’t go to a vote in the senate till after the first of the year.

All these amendments etc that they just voted on adding on the floor tonight will probably be thrown out in the Senate..

Aaaaak… that they did this at all without reading the damn thing just aggrevates me to no end…

Yes (((CJK))) – I’ll be writing too to express my disgust – I spent the day calling – many lines busy but got through a lot of the time.

Hi (((NikkisMom))) – I know you have been busy too – thanks to all who expressed their concerns to our deaf Reps

Goofs “As far as it giving the Senate pause… see above. “? What did I miss (see above?)

…and the re-election of every House member who voted for this monstrosity?

CJK….. YES!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL BE THE FIRST TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ‘NOPELOSIEEEEEEEEEEEEE’ Sorry, I don’t care if she is a woman… She is a Beast and a piece of shit…. She is no better than road kill on the side of the road…. I will do everything in my power and disposal to rid that piece of crap from representing America…. Period…. Sorry, I am not going to go with the herd… like Cattle…. I have to tell you there are alot of women in politics that are not worth a grain of salt… Just like the men…. they are in the same pool… ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t care about the party anymore….. The PERSON is what matters…. If they, can be bought and sold like a piece of shit…. Well, I will NOT vote for them or support them…… I have had it….. The Democratic Party betrayed all of us and those slime sucking freaking freaks and frauds can all screw themselves….. I am sick of all of it…… NO MORE!!!!!!!!!

CJK, You know it suits my personality better to be ‘for’ something rather than ‘against’ but that is one campaign I could get behind. However, seriously I don’t think there is a snowball’s chance that with her constituency in San Francisco that could ever happen. It seems like a distant memory now that I remember choking up when she became Speaker – what a difference a primary makes …

Yes, Goofs we’ll have to make a list

One of the biggest disappointments to me as a women has been Nancy Pelosi

P.S. Though Pelosi may have enjoyed some popularity in SF, I believe she’s vulnerable because of the Fraud’s back-peddling on all his promises to the gay community and Pelosi’s obvious slavish devotion to the Fraud.

P.P.S. Also, I read recently that Pelosi has only a 34 percent approval rating among Californians.

CJK… And, it will get lower… That I can assure you……………

Wellllll – I confess I hadn’t checked it out lately – just assumed (bad strategy) That she bwas still very popular . Hmmmmm – very interesting. That cheers me up – so now I can go to sleep with a smile on my face

FLBarbara – I so agree – I used to be impressed by her – she wrote me to congratulate me on being awarded various NIH grants and that seemed very supportive of othyer women. I guess power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!

Sweet dreams everyone – we have work to do…

The typos are too much …:( Sorry but you know what I mean

“I tried to get the mayor or vice mayor of San Pablo to attend and speak as most of the rapists were from San Pablo. Unfortunately, they both had ‘previous engagements’.”

(((puma SF))) I’ll bet they did! Kudos on a successful and meaningful event. Awesome job! You were a “representative” to many today.

FL Barbara! Did you catch up to Hillary? Or can’t you say…?

Hope to soon see a list of all those Congress critters we’re opposing for re-election (especially ‘nasty pancakes’), and lots of creative bumper sticker ideas. ‘Night night to all lovely, wonderful PUMAs everywhere.

Thanks, Zee! You must have ESP. I was just reading TGW on the same topic. http://guerillawomentn.blogspot.com/2009/11/stupak-amendment-passes-64-dems-voted.html
That should be a good start on our PUMA ‘hit list of the heedless hypocrites’ for 2010! ‘Night again.

Hi again, FLBarbara! You always inspire us! Stay well.

Thought I’d leave you with links to some interesting blogs re the so-called ‘healthcare reform bill’ that the heedless House (heedless of the will of the American people) passed tonight. ‘Night PUMAS.

Yes it is hopeless the deals have been made, the show is going on and we are all screwed!
The factions who want to kill abortion rights by passing this bill are more than happy to go along. The insurance and drug co are feeling just grand and our doctors are going to stop practicing medicine and we are again screwed and taxed to our quick deaths. Oh and the lawyers they are all in congress and in total control.
Islam sucks and I am sure they are in the bill too, sucking off America!
———————————-

Reposting my words on this brutal attack on American women…I will NEVER even admit to ever being a demoCRAP!
I am on strike…..

It seems perversely appropriate that the House passing the Health Rip-off Bill is being discussed on a post about rape. Not to diminish the horribleness of sexual battery, but I feel like I am watching my entire country get raped.

What do you think of this website?
http://www.firecongress.org/

Good mornin, Pumas….I didn’t sleep very well last night. I can honestly say, for the first time in my life, my heart ached for my country and my fellow citizens, and most especially for my sisters.

I didn’t know that Stupak was a democrat – he proposed the amendment for the ban on abortion in the govt. healthcare bill. WTF?

Vote results on that bill here:

NikkisMom 11.08.09 at 10:16 am

Me too… I am very tired. Watched those freaking ignoramuses throw us to the wolves.

from Nikkismom one more time:

it will not pay for abortions under the govt. healthcare bill, NOR will it allow any other private insurance companies participating in the exchange to pay for abortions.

The Senate must get this shit out of this bill and this bill is shit! Flush them the bill and Obuma!

Vote the BUMS out!!!

And 51% of us can start a fund to pay for abortions for any woman who wants one for any REASON!! Give up donating to politicians give to the abortion fund!!! We will go underground……..

Eggsackly!! I did not want to use the word but it did just happen to America and it is brutal!
————————
Agreed HP! I am sure there are going to be a lot of websites and blogs popping up trying to suck in the uninformed, trying to get their money. I trust no one, except right here, at PUMAPAC.
I woke up this morning feeling such dread. I feel like I did when the election was stolen. Like we felt on that day in Denver, and on the flight back home surrounded by all the obots flying back to Chicago, knowing that I sitting there alone with my Hillary gear still on, that they had no clue on what was in store for America. I did, we did. We still do. Time to re group, and get stronger and kick their asses out. they may be able to knock us down, but they will never knock us out.

Goldman Sacks ‘Doing God’s Work’ (mmm-kay!)

Even though he proudly pays himself more in a year than most of us could ever dream of — $68m in 2007 alone, a record for any Wall Street CEO, to add to the more than $500m of Goldman stock he owns — he insists he’s still “a blue-collar guy”.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6907681.ece

now who is taking up the collection to get rid of Nancy, I’m in.

Yes let’s make that very clear

ALL WOMEN SEEKING A PRIVATE HEALTH PLAN CAN NOT BUY ANY COVERAGE FOR ABORTION!! NONE NADA ZILCH

cash only! Force the poor to forced pregancy! And the middle class too!

Why is Pelosi’s name on the Nays on that list?
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll884.xml
Is this list accurate?

I will vote for no one…one big freaking cesspool!

I will write in Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck.

Pers!! you had mail, you have mail and you have trouble in river city…..

Prpl – #234 – that was the “ban on abortion funding” (Stupak) bill, not the healthcare bill, so yes, Nancy voted against it.

p.s. the parentheses above is NOT a hug for Stupak!!!

what’s river city? are there bars?

I am tired…the snake oil salemann from that play/movie
with his fast talking rant came into my head.
The Music Man…YOU GOT TROUBLE

salesman should be spelled obuma…..

Strange the Democrats got elected b/c we could not trust the Rebublican…now we have no party with any values we value.

Nancy voting against it was deceptive politics ; she voted against it after consulting with the Roman Catholic Bishops and after she knew she had enough votes to get it added on and the bill passed . She is pure undiluted hypocrisy

meanwhile the people at TC are just shocked, I tell ya.
but they sure made fun of those “teabaggers” being co-opted by the “wingnuts” to participate in HC protests..

wtf did they really think was going to happen?

Lieberman Announces Senate Investigation Into Fort Hood Shooting

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/08/lieberman-announces-investigation-fort-hood-shooting/

Sen. Joe Lieberman announced Sunday that he intends to lead a congressional investigation into the mass shooting at Fort Hood, saying the attack could qualify as a “terrorist act” rooted in Islamic radicalism — the worst since 9/11.

Finally someone speaking up!

Did anyone else see the photo shown on Wahington Journal this morning of Nancy Pelosi standing on tiptoe on her 4″ heels kissing Obama? It was in one of the morning newspapers, but I didn’t catch which one. It was disgusting and looked subservient.

FLBARBARA . .
Weren’t there some NO VOTES, too? I thought I saw that and am surious if they were all Dems.

Right after the hc passed last nite at 11pm ofuckwad sent out a fund raising email through organizing for America asking people to send money.
guess he needs the money to pay out all the money he promised in exchange for his yes votes on the hc bill.

Saw it on Fox

This interactive graphic shows the demographics they represent

Persephone… I am a Registered Nurse … for anyone who doesnt already know… and I am here to tell you our health care “industry” does indeed suck . However, how it will be improved by FORCING PEOPLE to BUY insurance , and that includes the government option , rather than doing the things that needed done incrementally , like Tort reform , making sure WOMEN kept their coverage etc etc. THE BIG LIAR and the little ones assured people over and over their present coverage would not change . What they neglected to to say was EXCEPT FOR THE WOMEN , especially the POOR WOMEN , but who really gives a flying fuck about them . After all they consulted the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH BISHOPS ( the same ones who ignored pedophiles for 40 years) . Doesnt anyone else wonder what the Bishops will be consulted on next?

Rancho,
NikkisMom gave us this link on the Supid bill

Labels and Gay Benefits in Health Bill
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON — Lower taxes for gay couples who receive health benefits from employers. Nutrition labeling requirements for snack food sold in vending machines and many restaurants. A new program to teach parents how to interact with their children.

Those are some of the little-noticed provisions in a mammoth health care bill taken up Saturday by the House of Representatives.

Patriarchy SUCKS

Did anyone see the Larry King interview last night with Mark Obama half brother of Obama?
He was talking about his father and domestic violence.

They look exactly alike and he told a very different story about life with daddy he wrote a book.

FLBARARA-Channel flipping last night to see the take re. the bill on other stations and saw the half brother. Started to watch it but had to turn it off.
Poor Obama and brother. . .they had a bad father. He wouldn’t even be on Larry King if his stepbrother wasn’t TOTUS. Were they hoping for some sympathy to go O’s way?

No sympathy for either one of them! Couldn’t Larry King find something better to focus on yesterday? . . . (Even tho it was probably prerecorded!) VERY INAPPROPRIATE ESPECIALLY GIVEN ALL THAT’S GOING ON EVERYWHERE!

They just got the Democrats to stab their largest constituency in the back and it didn’t cost Republicans but one vote. Brilliant!
——————
Rolling the dice, strategizing on the backs of women? Nice.

Someone also suggested sending the Stupak bill supporters coathangers!
Wonder how many are women?

The first part of the show was Rhiana, Robin Givens, Nicole Brown, Tina Turner, Halle Berry who all spoke to domestic violence. Kudos to them for doing so.

Then Mark came on to talk about how violent his father was to his mother.he actually teared up doing so.
What struck me was how much they look. And sound alike.It
Wonder how Potus feels about the interview and the tell all book?

(((Flbarbara)))
“Kudos to them for doing so”
________________
I didn’t see that part, just saw what looked like Obama’s twin, listened a bit then had to turn it off. I guess I just overreacted from the day, and that is GOOD that Larry King was addressing domestice violence! I do agree with you

I just couldn’t stomach any sympathy for Obama via his brother. MY problem at that moment and time.
