Bart Stupak turned?

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

Bart Stupak, a pro-life Congressman from Michigan is talking to the White House and other House leaders about changing his vote to yes if abortion would not be paid for by taxpayers in a final bill.  MSNBC put up a story saying the deal was done, but then has pulled it down.  Congressman Bart Stupak is part of a pro life group of Congress people apparently critical to any outcome in a vote later today.

He was interviewed by the Washington Examiner minutes ago with protestors sounding off against the bill around him.  According to that late report, there is no deal.  (Ignore most of the media that is telling you this is a done deal.  They just can’t help themselves being an open cheering section at this point.)

Consequences of this action are now for the moment still rumor as the regulations in those pages are so burdensome some suggest the medical field will be decimated by departures, insurance companies will be forced to take on charity cases – re: existing preconditions leading to their demise and the ultimate control of yet another industry by the federal government.  Those who believe the bill of goods will lead to better care for less remain among the minority of the fanciful.

Hoboken resident Mo DeGennaro who was hospitalized earlier this week at Hoboken University Medical Center is off a respirator.  He has also taken medication orally and we’ve been informed – has befriended his nurse.

A first hand source relayed word that when Mo heard former DCA Director Susan Jacobucci was no longer part of “the State government,” it brought a smile to his face.

Da Horsey has also now confirmed this is in fact the case.  There’s a new sheriff in town.  And we’ve been told, “a new Mo.” Read More...

Horse Sense: Mason and the Russo clan accountable

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

The kabuki theatre in Hoboken is dying a brutal death of a thousand cuts, as accountability finally enters stage right with transparency. It’s been a long time coming and you may have missed it if you didn’t stay up to almost 2:00 till the end of the City Council meeting. Councilwoman Mason and Councilman Russo have been leading the charge of the loyal opposition. Unfortunately, they have been less than faithful to the facts and decency. It appears those chips are finally being called in. Read More...
