Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich) of "can't-do-enough-to-help-the-Bishops-strip-women-of-their-rights" Stupak-Pitts amendment fame, tells Congressional Quarterly today that Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Chris Van Hollen (D-Md) called him "urging him to run for re-election."

 

There you have it, gals.  The Democratic Party once again has your back.

To the firing squad.

 

Perhaps they are also urging Joe Pitts and Ben Nelson to create a joint ticket for 2012.

Asked whether he would refuse to allow his own daughters to obtain abortions if raped, Santorum explains that despite the facts of the conception, the baby is still a "gift."

If They Called It the “March for Forced Motherhood and Female Enslavement,” Then Would You Protest?

Without a doubt, those marching against women's rights this year will be as giddy with success as they are fanatical about their agenda. If they owned up to the program they are really pushing, that they are marching for “Forced Motherhood and Female Enslavement,” would that be enough to drive you out in the streets to protest? Stand up  for access to abortion and birth control at the Supreme Court in Washington, DC this Monday!

Rachel Maddow predicted a progressive women's revolt. I say we begin it RIGHT NOW.

With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans? Seriously, Bart Srupak reminds me of the Dixiecrats back in the '60s. Mebbe he's an Anticrat?

Walt Stupak & Van Hollen should both go away January 15, 2010 - 3:52am

I have real issues w/the DCCC ever since Rahm Emanuel was its chair. They tend to lean toward "Blue Dog" so-called Democrats & actively work against Liberal/Progressive candidates. I no longer donate any money to the DCCC or the DSCC - instead I research the candidates for races that are important to me & I give directly to the candidates themselves. Stupak should either go away or join the Repubes. Now if there were a Progressive Congressional Campaign Committee (or Progressive Women's CCC(PWCCC?)) I would support that.
