[ellie]

1. Kaptur?

WTH? I will have to call her office. That is unacceptable.

[Bonobo]

2. Neal is my guy. He is about to hear a shitstorm. A. Big. Shit. Storm.

This is Northampton, MA.
Home to Smith College, baby.
He is in deep shit if that is right.
Fur will fly, I promise.

[LatteLibertine]

3. It's a shame so many supported the Stupid amendment

[FLyellowdog]

4. Can someone help me understand...

why someone would vote for an amendment which is in a bill that they are going to vote against anyway? Am I the crazy one? :shrug:

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. You are not alone. I wondered the same thing.

[FLyellowdog]

9. I'm just guessing here but

maybe they felt that the Bill would really pass so they needed to protect their moderate/right-leaning abortion ideals so they'd hopefully get reelected in their predominately republican districts. Now that I've said that,I don't even know if I'm making sense. I think I need a break. :crazy:

10. To maintain their anti-woman credentials ?
