The only way this panel will look legitimate is if democrats participate. They can take a pass, and let the republicans hang themselves. The optics will be terrible when you have just republicans asking questions and badgering women from PP.
Hell, except for a (very) few Catholic families, Mormon and Hassidic Jewish people and the Quiverfull variety of Evangelicals, most married religious people I know, even devout ones, practice birth control.
If thereâs one thing we learned during yesterday during Clintonâs Benghazi testimony, itâs the importance of having Democrats on the panel to not only give witnesses a break when theyâre being endlessly hammered with stupid ass questions but to also expose the dishonesty and games being played by Republicans heading up the investigation.
Itâs the same question Dems faced at the start of the Benghazi committee; I think they made the right decision by participating then, and I think theyâll make the right decision by participating now.
Without Dems on the committee, the GOP will basically be able to run roughshod over the people who testify. With Dems, at least there will be pushback and time for the witnesses to rebut the GOPâs harangues.
Republicans would simply frame the Democratsâ unwillingness to participate as proof Democrats are running scared, that theyâre afraid of PP being exposed as baby killers or something. And the American public would eat it up with a spoon and agree that Democrats must be hiding something. This is war, and you canât win if you donât show up.
I read an article that said the reason why republicans get legitimacy for some of their very partisan witch hunts is that democrats participate by asking legitimate questions. If democrats participate and do what they did yesterday by just saying how this is just a prosecution of PP than they should participate.
This is what our modern-day Pharisees who currently control Congress should be investigating:
Iâm pretty sure Clinton probably performed some of those abortions herself too.
We can be assured it will all go to hell in a hand basket fairly quickly, so there is thatâŚ
Oh, so thatâs why they keep singing this song.
Itâs all making sense now.
True that. Between both myself and the lovely Mrs. SBP there are multiple forms birth control at work keeping the world safe. Three kids is more than enough, but we canât get enough of each other. More in love than ever. 
JOHNâS LEGACY
WOW, War on Women! ! !
Another Panel?
Benghazie, he said âNOâ before he said âYESââŚhe lost. Shouldâve left it alone JOHNNY ;OL BOYâŚ
And now this, heâs a bigger fool than I thought he was.
What sort of brain dead people vote for this woman, besides the NRA, Monsanto and the Koch Brothers?
Why does he even care, heâs getting out of politics and doesnât need bait for republican votes anymore?
Why because yesterday and the last PP hearing/farce went so
well. Republicans never let facts or reality
get in the way of their lies and conspiracies
Marsha (canât give a straight answer )Blackburn is chair ? The looneist of all the tunes.
Weird thought: What if this were actually Tawn E. Bonerâs way of trolling (and exploding) the Rethuglican caucus? Sort of his little parting shot â "Here you go, losers!"
âRecent videos exposing the abortion-for-baby parts businessâ
They never get tired of lying, do they?
Once a divisive shit, always a divisive shit. As I posted when TPM ran the piece about Reid saying all those nice-like things about Boner, heâs been every bit as much as the problem and any of the Teahadis. One last grand âFuck youâ to reasonableness and decency.
Thereâs this weird, unshakable delusion among Republicans that if they somehow present their message in different packaging, if they just change the messenger, use more appealing terminology, voters will agree with their policies. They donât believe their policies and ideology are ever the problem. Thatâs why they keep trying to do the same things over and over again, and itâs why theyâre shocked every time their efforts fail.
Well, that and theyâre stupid.
