lol apparently my Congresstard tacked on some hugely restricting abortion amendment onto the Health Care bill UPsuckage once again

it caused some DRAMA with people we know and love

One by one, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had leaned on her rank-and-file Democrats for months to cast off personal prerogatives for the sake of a history-making health care bill.

But for Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, this was too much to ask.

So when Pelosi announced late Friday that she would allow an amendment strictly limiting insurance coverage of abortions, it touched off an angry yelling match between DeLauro and another Pelosi confidant, California Rep. George Miller, and t.ears from some veteran female lawmakers, according to people in the room.

Some of the lawmakers argued that Pelosi was turning her back on a decades-long campaign by female Democratic members in support of abortion rights. Miller rose to Pelosi's defense, which resulted in an angry confrontation between him and DeLauro, said the sources.

Miller told DeLauro that there were "more pro-life votes in the House than pro-choice" and that abortion-rights advocates had better acknowledge that reality.

In the end, Pelosi's strategy paid off in a big win for her and President Barack Obama. After Rep. Bart Stupak's (D-Mich.) amendment banning abortion funding was approved with 64 Democratic votes, Pelosi was able to push through the health care reform package on a virtually straight-line party vote, 220-215.

In an interview, DeLauro denied yelling at Miller, although the Connecticut Democrat admitted that she made her views "strongly known" to those in the room.

imagine her screaming at you :eek:

1. Linda McMahon (R-CT)
Running for: Senate



omg so real so fierce *fans self* x 1000

Now what's this glorious business she's talking about? WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT <3



She's Vince McMahon's loving wife, but she's always been the brains behind the operation. Now watch the same ad with some of her wrestling appearances tied in:



SO MUCH BETTER RIGHT? She'd be the first US Senator to have been seen kicking someone in the balls, so...
HAVE
TO
WIN

At first, I thought it might be another publicity stunt/WWE storyline, but she's pretty serious about it. She relinquished her role as CEO and is going to spend a bajillion dollars on her campaign, so she's really going all in. It won't be easy though. She's running against infamous Chris Dodd, whose popularity is in the turlet.



This means oodles of Connecticut Republicans will think they'll finally have a chance to win a statewide election, which means Linda will have to get a through a tough primary. Then beating Dodd won't be easy either no matter how hated he is.

but whatev, if anyone can do it, Linda can. I BELIEVE IN YOU GURL!

lol <3

Now I'll be getting back to the g.oddesses that are actually in Congress. Here are the top 10 to refresh your memories ^_^



I just realized that most of them are absolutely despised by the opposing side. Polarizing hags <3
