Pro-life Democrat Shuler vying to replace pro-abort Pelosi as House minority leader
Pro-life Democrat North Carolina Congressman Heath Shuler announced on CNN yesterday he would challenge renown pro-abort Nancy Pelosi for the position of House Minority Leader:
Well, obviously if she doesn’t step aside then I’m fully aware, I’m going to press forward. You know, I can add and subtract pretty well. I don’t have the numbers to be able to win, but I think it’s a proven point for moderates and the Democrat Party that we have to be a big tent….
Shuler has acquired an 85% positive rating from National Right to Life. He voted against taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research, supports the Hyde Amendment, and voted for the Stupak Amendment in Obamacare but against the final version that omitted the Stupak amendment.
One other reason to support Shuler? Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards is pushing to retain Pelosi. Richards knows Pelosi brings home the bacon.
The Republican in me wouldn’t mind if Pelosi remains visible in the top spot. It could only help our party in 2012.
But the dominant pro-lifer in me knows Shuler would 1) control pro-aborts from pushing their agenda, even in the minority; and 2) grease the skids for pro-life measures.

Pipe dream. Will not happen. Too many dems are radically pro-abort to allow this to happen.
He’s kind of hot.
@Jacqueline.
Yup. I agree. He is. :)

Yes, I’ve seen him in person and he’s a cutie… former NFL quarterback…

He’s undoubtedly a better congressman than he was an NFL player.
He named his daughter Island and his son Navy. Something ain’t right.
If Shuler’s the best man for the job, I’m praying he gets in.
Why only an 85% pro-life rating. What were his pro-death votes on? As far as I know EVERY Democrat would have voted for Obamacare if the Democrats needed their vote to pass it.
(Sarcasm alert!) Let Pelosi win so she can continue to drag the Democrats down to wherever she wants to drag them to…..well, hey, if she does win..they deserve each other, right?
I met Heath Shuler back when he was part of a Christian ministry during his playing days at quarterback of the U. of Tennessee Volunteers, who were then the real nemesis of my beloved Florida Gators in the SEC east. I met him at a church in Florida where he was giving his testimony, as I went there with a group of fellow FCA students to check it out and get his autograph. :)
