I know not everyone agrees with me. But oh thank goodness. At last!
And–calling Bart Stupak, of all people, the one who gathered his fellow Democrats in opposition to the bill earlier because of his anti-abortion stance, a baby killer? Calling John Lewis, a civil-rights-era hero, truly, a hero, the N word? Spitting on the opposition? Republican congressmen inciting the crowd outside to a near riot from the House balcony and proclaiming, That’s kind of fun! Watching Boehner screaming Hell! NO! over and over–
Who on earth wants to be on the side of people like that?
And then Nancy Pelosi. Whatever else you may think of her. Calmly and surely, taking her turn at the podium, talking about the actual issue at hand: what was in the bill, what it meant to Americans, and why it was an important piece of legislation that after all the work done on it and the ways that it would benefit the American people, deserved to be passed. The contrast!
Well, now, actually, Mr. Boehner, sir, the American majority has voted.
Yes.
