Source: AP

Bart Stupak of Menominee is an ex-state trooper. He led a group demanding assurances the plan wouldn't fund abortions before supporting it.

6. No, but we aren't calling his home or office making nasties
nt. We would like to see them primaried. Although I have not dog in the fight, Im gay, no kids ..we rescue dogs. I would rather see women able make up their own minds.
The right whiners are the enemas (sic) of freedom.
I have had enough exposure to them, they ain't my friends.
