Today’s Republican Party consists entirely of reprehensible, hateful people who enjoy watching others suffer. No other conclusions may be drawn.

Alas, I do occasionally spend time there, but only because I haven’t been able to persuade family and a few friends to leave.

Not others, just the poor, the gay, women, sick and at risk.

It is sad to see this, and certainly illegal. No reasonable person would ever suggest that legislators should discriminate against particular individuals or organization based on propaganda or unproven allegations.

I think nothing shows the empty, reactionary, and dishonest nature of Republicans more than this attack on Planned Parenthood. The attack doesn’t even make idealogical sense. If the problem is that Planned Parenthood sold fetuses, then make that illegal (it is) and take them to court. Attacking a particular group by withholding unrelated funding doesn’t address the problem that caused the original outrage in the first place. It is, simply, using the legislature to try to convict an organization of a crime outside the judicial system, and is a direct threat to the integrity of our democracy.

Wasting public funds on political grandstanding by GOPers seems a default action. They must know that this action will be overturned.

The are potentially liable? How about you actually find them guilty in an investigation before you punish them.

Texas, the Repub politicians anyways are hurting Texans, women for the most part, PP will do just fine although they will fight for the right to also be in Texas.

Isn’t this illegal anyhow?
