VT Calls for Immediate Resignation of Congressmen “Baby Killer” Neugebauer

Texas congressman admits yelling ‘baby killer’

Decency in all Leaders Demanded Now! 

A Republican congressman from Texas on Monday admitted he shouted “baby killer” from the House floor as Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., defended his change of position on health care legislation on Sunday. But Rep. Randy Neugebauer said that his remark was a comment on the bill itself and not directed at the Michigan lawmaker.

VT is sick and tired of this lack of decency and respect for others. It’s hurting our country and our people from the top down.

If the Republican party is really serious about being a decent serious party for the American people, then VT demands that the GOP leadership ask for and get the resignation of this poor excuse for a congressmen.  Replace him with someone who can speak intelligently, communicate your position, and do so with respect for others.

Thugs are not leaders in America and any party who condones by not demanding the resignation of a thug is, by definition, a party of thugs and paints all of its’ members as thugs.  Every American, stands against thugs and if you want to be taken seriously by Americans, get rid of this thug and show by example that you won’t tolerate thugism. 

Warning to Democrats! This is a equal opportunity demand and does NOT absolve you of anything.  Engaging in anything less than civil discourse will be a reason to go after you too! If you use words like NIGGER, HITLER, SOCIALIST, COMMIE, FAG, and HOMO and lobb insults at Americans who oppose your point of view, you too will be called out and end up on our go-after list.

Rep. Randy Neugebauer said “In the heat and emotion of the debate, I exclaimed the phrase ‘it’s a baby killer’ in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership,” Neugebauer said in a statement released by his office. “While I remain heartbroken over the passage of this bill and the tragic consequences it will have for the unborn, I deeply regret that my actions were mistakenly interpreted as a direct reference to Congressman Stupak himself.

“I have apologized to Mr. Stupak and also apologize to my colleagues for the manner in which I expressed my disappointment about the bill. The House Chamber is a place of decorum and respect. The timing and tone of my comment last night was inappropriate.”

Neugebauer’s statement put to rest a whodunit that had political junkies on the edge of their seats late Sunday and early Monday.

The comment could be clearly heard in C-SPAN footage of the debate after the House’s passage of the health care overhaul legislation.

The voice yelled at Stupak, D-Mich., as he spoke in defense of a deal he made with the White House to drop an amendment he co-authored in exchange for assurances that President Barack Obama would issue an executive order stating that no federal funds from the legislation would be used to pay for abortion coverage.

Suspicions immediately focused on the California and Texas delegations, based on the accounts of several lawmakers who said the voice emanated from the area where they were seated.

Reporters quickly quizzed members after the vote and continued to press for a name on Monday to no avail, though several lawmakers indicated they either knew or had a good idea who the speaker was.

Democratic Rep. David Obey of Minnesota, who was presiding over the debate at the time, told the Talking Points Memo that he knows who yelled at Stupak but “doesn’t see any point” in identifying the speaker.

“I think people have a right to make a fool out of themselves every once in a while without causing Armageddon,” he said.

But at least two Republican lawmakers — Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Tom Price of Georgia — told Politico that they believed the comment was shouted from the gallery.

For his part, Stupak said he didn’t see who made the remark.

Several Republican lawmakers who were publicly identified as suspects felt compelled Monday to issue press releases denying they had used the phrase, including Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas and George Radanovich of California.

The breach of decorum on the House floor came a little more than a year after Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., yelled “You lie!” at Obama during his State of the Union address.

The House later passed a resolution, largely along party lines, saying Wilson’s conduct was a breach of congressional decorum that brought “discredit to the House.”

But we need to go much farther than this. This has gotten way out of hand and is a threat to our National soul and security. Anyone who breaches common courtesy and decency and cannot argue their point of view intellingently in a polite manner must go.

“Baby Killer” Neugebauer and any other leader who engages in such behavior must go and go now!

Let the new age of civility and decency come back to the USA now!
