This spineless idiot voted for this POS and is now running from the scene. There are few words and none that wouldn't break a rule to describe this SOB.By: Mike Allen and Josh Kraushaar

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who had a central role in the health reform fight as the leader of anti-abortion Democrats, plans to announce Friday that he will not run for reelection, a Democratic official said. Without Stupak on the ballot, the seat becomes an immediate pickup opportunity for Republicans.
"Now with health care done, he’s retiring," a friend said. "He has thought about retiring for the last three cycles, but was always talked into staying: to elect John Kerry to help end the war, to elect a Democratic majority to get health care done."
President Barack Obama called Stupak on Wednesday and asked him not to retire. Stupak, 58, also resisted entreaties from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), the dean of the Wolverine State delegation.
Republicans immediately attributed Stupak's decision to step down as a direct consequence of his health care vote.
“After selling his soul to Nancy Pelosi, it appears that Bart Stupak finally found the courage to tell her no," said National Republican Congressional Committee communications director Ken Spain. "The political fallout over the Democrats’ government takeover of healthcare has put the political careers of many Democrats in jeopardy thanks in-part to Stupak’s decision to abandon his alleged pro-life principles."

yes, he did ... even tho it was redundantbut he got his EXECUTIVE ORDER!
nope. he overplayed his hand. that's why he is leaving his cush position. Obama was the BIG winner. first, he took abortion off the table for the next 6+ years by signing that executive order. the abortion issue is something his administration will not have to contend withhe was the BIG WINNER!
LOL!
really, that's what you take from this? then you were asleep the past year while this matter was being poked and prodded and molded into the legislation we would up withthe meaning of suckerpunch stupak's swan song is---no more bluedog dems, no room in the PARTY OF PELOSI/OBAMA for LIFE
a party of extremes
please send us a postcard from the country to which you are moving ... since that is the only way you will be able to escape enjoying and living with the results, toolive with it, love it, it's yours
you're not worthy [said in wayne's world voice]party on, progressives
we did when we went to the ballot box about 17 months ago.you know what you're doing
and even BIGGER, he got healthcare reform passed
Couldn't have said it better myself. The man's an idiot and will probably be seen as such for his last actions in office. Stupak is best viewed by me as this politial cartoon illustrates. Congress is better off without him.
to the point that the blue dog's tail no longer wags the democrat's dog, we agree
Wow, and I thought you guys use to love and admire him.
he got healthcare reform passed. republicans cannot rescind it. appears that makes republicans the losers and today's pseudo-onservatives the biggest losers

Yes, it appears that Bart Stupak noticed the same thing.Has anyone besides me noticed that the public is pissed?
LOL.......... After the next election, Republicans can defund it and stop it in it's tracks. After the 2012 election they can and will rescind that POS, and hopefully legislate real health reform, not just a blank check for more government interferance in our lives. You are living in some dream world if you think any bill can’t be rescinded, or killed by lack of funds.
