Discussion for article #241163
For those who donât know, Cecile Richards is the daughter of the late Governor Ann Richards of Texas. She learned her politics with her mother, Molly Ivins and Barbara Jordan as role models. Sheâs used to dealing with grandstanding male blowhards who are completely and utterly ignorant of their topic, and dismissive of women in positions of authority.

The vicious glee that the Republicans are demonstrating at interrogating a woman is really difficult to watch. It is so similar to the approach to questioning Hillary Clinton - interruption, discrediting insinuations, twisting of both facts and any reasonable attempts to answer questions. It will appease their base, I suppose, but I canât see how this would garner additional support outside of the base.

The GOP really has a knack for going all in fighting issues that are generally very popular, often even in their own party. All this grandstanding is only approved by a small minority of people, and the rest think they are nuts.
Strategery in action.

Are there any decent Republicans left? Wait, let me re-phrase that ⌠are there any Republicans left with a shred of manners?

I feel like I need a wingnut-to-English translator to even begin to understand what is going on here.

This is the modern version of âAre you Now or have you ever Been a Member of the Communist Party?â witch-hunts under Joseph McCarthy.
They donât want answers, they want to push their Anti-Women agenda.
Disgusting behavior by these CongressCritters, even MORE disgusting is the behavior of the MSM, who once again, just like in the 1950âs are too cowardly to confront these Anti-American Behaviors.
Unfortunately, there are no Edward R. Murrows in the MSM anymore.

The Congo!! Where rape is part of the war strategy and any woman with a rape baby might as well kill herself in that culture? I wish we could send billions of dollars to those poor women.

Were I Ms. Richards my follow-up response to Chafets would have been, âDo actually want an answer? Because if you do, youâre going to have to be quiet and let me speak.ââŚ

I canât stand these fucking showboating Republicans. Theyâre like the fucking Gestapo when they hold a hearing and decide to go after something or someone. They donât want the truth, so they grandstand in order to shut down any answer that contradicts their bullshit narrative and pack of lies. Its all pretty obvious, otherwise theyâd allow for a person to answer questions in an expository manner, as theyâve been called to do before these committees.
This is just another fucking kangaroo court for the Operation Rescue and James OâKeefe supporters. They are a sick lot.

So Mr. Chairman, you are really, really concerned about your dead parents. Just not concerned enough to risk your political career by raising taxes to cover the cost of more cancer funding? Is that about right?
