You can always recognize a Tommy Christopher article just by reading the headline.

It sounds like to me he is voting in opposition to his donors. Unless the implication is that Blue cross wants abofrtions out of the public health care so people will run to them for that coverage. I do not know that the abortion dollar is truly that large.

Perhaps I’m reading the story wrong… but doesn’t it seem to suggest that Stupak gets money from folks profiting off abortions, therefore “campaign donations” doesn’t make a lot of sense. Unless you’re suggesting that Stupak is purposely trying to keep abortions out of the government’s plan as to make the private insurance plan more enticing. Either way, I’m not buying it.

What’s the media angle? No, Magister and Fidoohki, it’s not to embarrass Stupak, it’s to inform the public that he obviously has many dogs in this hunt and it’s all about campaign donations. Like the old saying goes “Everyone has their price” and we can see what this devoted follower of the C St. Cult is. He doesn’t need help being embarrassed, he’s more than capable of doing that on his own.
