Fred Upton got the post he wanted in the House, as Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.  Boehner gave him the job over massive objections from conservatives.  Perhaps if Upton cries, he will convince some of them that he's going to be a real stalwart.

JGillman of RightMichigan voices the concern that so many are thinking.  Now that Upton got the post over all the objections, will he do what needs doing?

Judging from some of  his responses to criticism, I'd say that's a definite no.

Uh oh.

Fred Upton, a Republican from Michigan, is insisting he is worthy to chair the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and has written an Op Ed in the Washington Examiner titled, "Rep. Fred Upton: A new majority for America."  In it, he describes what he will do if in fact he is chosen as chair, and reiterates his manly chainsaw approach to the budget, and unfortunately, uses the words, "shine the spotlight" on the Obama-Pelosi regulatory policies.

Stupaks betrayal came at a cost.  He realized quickly enough that his upcoming campaign was probably a lost cause, and announced his decision to not run for reelection April 9, 2010.

In fact, many of those critters still pursuing the dream of perpetual political payoff through a lifetime of "service" are realizing they "stepped in it," and are currently running back home shaking off their jackboots so maybe it doesn't stink so much come November 2nd.  The spell apparently has been broken, and the realization that overstepping constitutional authority might come at a cost.

They are pretending THEY didn't support the health care plan... though they might have voted for it..  another case of what "is.. is.." perhaps.  They have gained new smarts as judgment day approaches in a month from now.

"I do not trust a temporary executive order to make sure we're not using taxpayer money to perform abortions",said Opsommer

In the end he caved, based on the promise of executive will.

I suppose he hoped that his constituents would believe the executive order signed by the President might actually have some effect of law.  It may theoretically, but it cannot be enforced effectively, and Hyde will not cover the new departments and provisions.

1. His adviser, pro-abort John Weaver, is to McCain what Rove was  to Bush, and left the GOP for a time to be a Democrat adviser


2. Weaver and his other adviser, John Yob, tend to only work for  pro-abort 'moderates'


3. Snyder gave money to John Dingell (D), who is a big pusher of  ObamaCare that includes taxpayer funded abortions, on several occasions


4. Snyder gave money to IMP-PAC,a group that can be boiled down to a  single primary issue - abortion-on-demand in the GOP platform

Ultimately the truth be told, it was as he said in the August town hall, he was going to vote for this no matter what. Weren't you Mr. Stupak?

Mr. Stupak will not acknowledge the conflict of his "pro-life position" with the contradictory vote his record will carry forward. Insisting that President Bush signed an executive order banning embryonic stem cell funding by government and it carried the same weight as Obama's exec order.

"Take a look at what Bush signed.. its no different"

Actually Bart?  IT is quite a bit different.  Given that president Bush did not want the funding to exist, he signed into law to protect life as long as he was able.  He did not have the favor of a legislative act in front of him, and felt he needed to do something.  He stood up for something he believed in.  And guess what?  Your guy, Barack Obama rescinded the order upon taking office.
