Discussion: RNC Chair Says The Texas Abortion Law Is About 'Compassion'

[chammy]

No self-respecting gay man would have him.

[theod]

Yet there are no “hospital standards” forced on plastic surgery clinics in Texas. This is just more typical craven, rightwing, anti-woman legislation/regulation.

[fitley]

Republicans have taken lying to a new level. It’s 100% transparent.

[marby]

and it isn’t necessary to call that lie too rigorously either

[jinmichigan]

How can these people lie with a straight face? No war on women? Sure.

[ajm]

Compassionate Republican: Oh, dearie… I’m sure you don’t mean that. Once you have that child you don’t want everything will be fine.

What do you mean? What makes you think you might need Medicaid? And certainly not, no way are we going to help with your four kids’ college tuition. What’s that got to do with raising the minimum wage?

[clunkertruck]

The Christian Right would like to thank Texas for taking care of that pesky little “separation of church and state” thing – We have always felt that legislating our BELIEFS is not only the proper way to control people but the most likely way to SAVE YOU NO GOOD SUM MA BITCHES ! ! REPENT !! ! REPENT !! !

Compassion? Ok roughly 7-17,000 citizens wil die in Republican led states that fail to expand Medicaid. Their motto ought to be Love the blastocyst, hate the child.

Hey, Reince, what do you think about ISIS?

“Well, there’s about half of the sausage left, but two steps over blue, so obviously if he knurls the pickle Obama will have failed.”

GOP word salad, now 99 cents a pound!

[pearlywhite]

"Reince, can you spell ‘compassion’?

“D. I. E. W. H. O. R. E.”

[darrtown]

I’m working hard at not riffing on Mr Priebus’ name.
it’s taking considerable effort too.

[darrtown]

I am quite sure Mr Priebus has no idea what a blastocyst is.

[darrtown]

C’mon We all know there’s no repub war on wimmenz cuz Jeebus said so,

(snark)

[fiftygigs]

“…The issue for us is only one thing…”

Killing the right of people to make choices contrary to the wishes of a conservative elite who follow a different set of laws.

[ryanwi]

I still don’t understand how a guy who was the laughingstock of Kenosha when he was the Chair of the County Republican Party there gets to move up like that.

[sundancer]

You remember back when Sen. Kyl claimed that 90% of what Planned Parenthood did was abortions only to be fact-checked that it was only 3% of its services. He later went on to say “Not intended to be a factual statement”, for which he deserved well-earned ridicule. It was the birth of a new meme at the time. Planned Parenthood is not allowed by law to use any federal funding for abortion and is rigorously checked through oversight. Let me guess…Toady Todd didn’t confront Rinse Pubic Harebrain for his attempt to disseminate false information…because even though Chucky boy has been on the Hill covering politicians like a bean-counter, he hasn’t bothered to learn a fucking thing about the law, legislation of the Hyde Amendment, or anything really in all these years…and if he had…“it’s not his job anyways” to explain it to the American public, or so he likes to tell us. So that’s how we get this same lie over and over again, with another idiot MTP corporate lackey host taking up space, filling a seat for which he has no credibility as a “journalist” to fill.

Absolutely perfect,SR and no, Chuckles folded like a cheap tent on any fact check. The new set and format is only putting lipstick on a pig. Todd will go down in flames even worse than Gregory did. The high point of the program yesterday was Axelrod sarcastically referring to Mourning Joe as Dr. Scarborough after one of Joe’s rants on Ebola.

[ElderDavid]

Priebus, went on to mansplain the GOP issue for women. “Deep down you know we are right, this is for your own good. We know better. You don’t need a doctor to get back alley treatment for your condition.”
