The GOP has a code of silence, just like street gangs.

Simply amazing!

4. Here's one of many:
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2010/03/rep-neugebauer-says-he-shouted-baby-killer-during-health-debate/1


He maintains that he shouted "It's a baby killer" -- meaning the bill, not Stupak himself. At press time, no one could be found who believed him.

9. "I figure members have a right to make an idiot of themselves once without being exposed"
But Neugebauer 'fessed up' to being the idiot.

10. Apparently, Neugebauer disagrees and believes idiots should be exposed immediately.
I applaud his great moral courage in standing up and admitting to his own idiocy. Truly, a man of outstanding moral character, if little brain matter. :eyes:

5. Obey knew who it was also
Rep. David Obey (D-WI), who was presiding, says he knows who shouted "baby killer" but "doesn't see any point" in identifying them.

"I think people have a right to make a fool out of themselves every once in awhile without causing Armageddon," Obey said, when asked if the person should be admonished.
