Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

Stupak a Potential Gubernatorial Candidate?

WCMU reported this evening that House Rep. Bart Stupak (D-union hall) is being considered by some within the Democrat Party as a potential gubernatorial candidate in light of John Cherry's inability to get his political record surgically removed from his political aspirations.

I have not had an opportunity to think much about this yet, but it would be my guess that Bart would be the most formidable candidate the Democrats could put forward this year.

Bart represents much that is wrong with this state. He is drastically pro union, pro spending, pro government intervention, pro taxes, and anti business. What makes him a dangerous candidates to the Republicans is that on about 10 per cent of the issues he votes more conservatively, and these votes have been very public.

He is pro-life, pro-nuclear, and pro-guns/hunting. These are lynch pin issues that will attract a fair amount of one dimensional voters who would be added to a huge monolithic liberal voting bloc that would vote democrat if Sponge Bob were on the democrat ticket.

I have not investigated Michigan's rules as to how this would affect his house seat. If he does not run again in Michigan's 1st district I can see the Democrats having difficulty hanging on to the seat.

Congressman Bart Stupak on the Ron Jolly show describes the communications between himself and others, including those who are FOR and AGAINST the health care reform. He is suggesting the Senate bill is unacceptable to the house membership.

"you can't put one state above the others and expect other states to support it.."

"conferencing with the Senate we're going to conference with this bill and Senate is telling us they only have 60 votes so [expect to sign on to the Senate bill..]" "that's not going to happen.."

Stupak says when asked if he would "take one for the party" with the abortion issue; "No.. this is about Principle"

Principle..

Is it possible that 1st congressional district representative Bart Stupak is having a fit of conscience?

A recent CNS news interview reveals Stupak has been told to essentially shut up until the deal is done.

"They think I shouldn't be expressing my views on this bill until they get a chance to try to sell me the language," Stupak told CNSNews.com in an interview on Tuesday. "Well, I don't need anyone to sell me the language. I can read it. I've seen it. I've worked with it. I know what it says. I don't need to have a conference with the White House. I have the legislation in front of me here."

This from just one member of a coalition which found funding of abortion by taxpayers reprehensible, and so much so they held up the house vote until assured it wasn't going to happen.

Keep up the pressure, Stupak

Every once in a while, a member of Congress will display a brief moment if integrity, so allow me to praise someone on the opposite side of the spectrum for doing just that. Especially when it comes to the one issue in which integrity is vitally important. Bart Stupak, thankfully, is living up to his role as co-chairman of the House Pro-Life Caucus. He's been standing up to the health care bill for taking a "wink and a nod" approach to funding abortion.

The stimulus bill President Obama and nearly all Democrat Senators and all Democrat Representatives want to ram down our throats has other names, more appropriate names. Rush Limbaugh has called it the Porkulus Bill, referring to it's massive amount of earmarks. Senator Tom Coburn has another name for it, The Generational Theft Act.
