Because if they vote for the left will be outraged, and if they vote against the right will be outraged...in any way one side or the other will be outraged at the other.

When we ever catch on? They can manipulate things so we are always looking over there and not looking where it matters. That is not to say that this issue does not matter, just that they made it matter.

After watching some of the testimony in the ridiculously named committee session "investigating" Planned Parenthood, and seeing other public statements of Republican politicians, I am stunned at the level of ignorance - most of it willful - of these "leaders".

Some think that all PP does is abortions. They refuse to stipulate to the verifiable fact that 97% of what PP does is non-abortion services that cover all other areas of women's health.

Republican are just pure evil. Assholes, plain and simple.

They just want to stir up the angry masses and lies are never off the table.
