With Friends Like Right-to-Life, Who Needs Enemies?

I have my pro-life credentials.  I've fought in the trenches, so shut-up.

 

Too many times while in the trenches, Right-to-Life national leaders have been there wiping out our side, handing victory to the pro-aborts.

 

Today, I lament and pray for and with Rep. John Shaddegg (AZ) who knew that if he could have received just a little bit of Right-to-Life's cooperation, Pelosi's health care bill would have gone down.  Instead, Shaddegg got a Right-to-Life knife in the back.

 

The battle lost in the House over the government health care takeover rests in large part on the shoulders of the national Right-to-Life leaders.  They are pinheads and they must resign now.

 

As the political dynamics tightened around the health care vote, liberal pro-aborts had to concede to a vote on the pro-life amendment in order to shave off enough pro-life democrats for victory.  A bitter political pill for their side, but they saw the bigger victory and could spin the pro-life amendment as "just acknowledgement of existing law contained in the long-standing Hyde Amendment." (Hyde Amendment = No federal funds for abortions)

 

Well, Shaddegg had a plan to throw sand in the gears and likely ruin the political machinery grinding out a victory for the government takeover of health care.  He was rounding up the votes to kill the pro-life amendment (by voting "present") and thereby killing the whole bill and quite possibly the entire effort. This would have caused such a train wreck, it is doubtful the liberals could have recovered, i.e., Waterloo.

 

But, NO ... as this plan was quietly being put together, Right-to-Life issues a noontime letter on the day of the vote stating a "present" vote will be scored as a NO vote, elevating it as the "most important vote" since the 1997 vote on the Hyde Amendment.

 

KABOOM!  Right-to-Life once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.  Good for Shaddegg being the lone "present" vote on the amendment.

 

This screw-up is so historic and monumental that the Right-to-Life leadership must take the honorable actions and resign, immediately.

 

Shaddegg has a 100% rating from Right-to-Life.  He is not a mystery or a double-dealer.  After all the work he has done on their behalf, a little help would have gone a long way.

 

Instead, it is clear ... Right-to-Life is more concerned about fundraising by "getting the win" on the pro-life amendment.  How long do you think that amendment will hold as the bill makes its way through Congress?

 

Go away Right-to-Life leadership.  Your actions are pitiful.

 

Why Is Capitalism So Unpopular?

"The academics envision a grand world, where Great Men fight Great Wars, periodically inventing Great Things or developing Great Ideas. Instead, the market provides us with incremental processes, which expend enormous piles of resources, in a quest to make better Triscuits. It is hardly the stuff of high drama, to say nothing of Great History."

Interesting ... a Car Lotto

Here's how the National Car-Lotto works: $1 tickets are sold nationwide every week. We take the average price of every model sold by GM, Ford, and Chrysler-say that is $25,000, with taxes, tag, dealer fees and extended warranties included. For every 25,000 tickets sold, one lucky winner gets the American-made car of his or her choice with all the additional fees covered and no tax liability until they sell or trade their win. 

With an advertising blitz on radio, TV, newspapers and the web, our big three could raffle off thousands of cars every week-30,000 cars is a reasonable goal, each one paid in full upfront with the lotto money. 

Everybody wins! Consumers get the car of their choice-a youngster in school might want a Ford Focus, someone else a Chrysler Sebring convertible, a family of five, a GM Hybrid Yukon. Regardless, each car comes fully loaded! The American public-not the White House-decides which manufacturers survive and thrive.

Tea Party Brooks Bros. Brigade (Photo)

The uber-leftists are labeling the average American Tea Party citizens who show up at August Congressional "Town Hell" meetings as the Brooks Bros. Brigade.

Here is photographic proof that these citizens who are opposed to government takeover of health care do not regularly shop at Brooks Bros.
