If he indeed reflects the will of his constituents, Republican Rep. Randy Neugbauer may have just become the poster baby for why Texas should go ahead and secede from the Union: to hide public officials like Randy Neugebauer from view. Neugebauer, who has since admitted to shouting “Baby killer!” before members of the House after the health care bill passed, was supposedly objecting to what he views as pro-abortion leanings within the bill. He is now a colleague in shouting nonsense just like Rep. Joe Wilson, who shouted “You lie!” at President Obama as he delivered a speech before Congress, Randy Neugebauer couldn’t compose himself and be a professional, working adult. It was apparent that he shouted at Rep. Bart Stupak the “baby killer!” moniker after the Michigan Democrat voiced his support for the health care bill.
Neugebauer claims it wasn’t aimed at Stupak
Yet Randy Neugebauer apologized to his House colleague anyway. He claims the bill itself is “a baby killer ” – may be his last-ditch effort to squeeze campaign dollars out of anti-abortion groups. Who knows – perhaps he was looking for some debt settlement relief ?
He Who Shouts Baby Killer got less than $ 3,000 from the anti-abortion faction (from a Center for Responsive Politics survey). OpenSecrets.org suggests that could send anti-abortion groups into check-writing action. Those against the current health care bill are certainly steamed. Former G.W. Bush speech writer David Frum claimed “It’s Waterloo all right: ours .” There’s a Fire Nancy Pelosi petition making it’s rounds, but they’re a day late and a dollar short to pull the plug on health care reform.
Who fattens He Who Shouts Baby Killer’s war chest?
As per OpenSecrets.org, “the National Auto Dealers Association, National Association of Home Builders, Quantum Energy Partners, National Beer Wholesalers Association and National Association of Realtors” are big Randy Neugebauer bankrollers. You know, in case you were curious.
Is this the type of thing that Texans are happy with?
Despite whether someone agrees with Randy Neugebauer, is anyone really impressed with this “baby killer” routine? Mr. Stupak is far from being a baby killer. Acting like a neurotic, emotionally unhinged, and panicking teenager benefits no one. It makes a person look foolish to put it mildly, in the media and among citizens.
Shouting “Baby killer!” at grunt soldiers returning from Vietnam didn’t endear that small group of offending hippies to America, either. In both cases, perhaps a lack of information and heads swelled by some vague notion of selflessness without direction were the trouble. Randy Neugebauer would probably have additional fans if he were a bit more honest about things. Simply asking for anti-abortion group money would at least be more to the point. Payday loans with no fax are another short-term funding source, although Mr. Neugebauer would have to repay within a couple of weeks.
