House Republicans Kick Off 2014 With Renewed Focus On Abortion, Birth Control

Looks like they've learned from their mistakes in 2012. They're really making a push to increase women voters!

They've clearly learned nothing.

statistically speaking, can the dems abort themselves out of contention? at times it seems like a race to the bottom for either dems or 'pubs

...queue rise of the paultards?

Awesome.

House Republican leaders sent a memo this week to the entire GOP conference with talking points designed to help rank-and-file Republicans show compassion for the unemployed and explain the Republican position on unemployment benefits.

nothing says heartfelt compassion like focus-group vetted talking points

Death spiral.

Tuesday came the bizarre news that there were going to be four – four — different GOP replies to the State of the Union address. To work with Republicans Obama would need actual Republican leaders, and instead he’s dealing with hundreds of freelance potentates and kooks.

"shut up, conservatives", he explained

The Democrats are primarily a secular party that ignores, if not condemns, most church teachings (such as on abortion and gay marriage). The party has come unmoored from any religious values. It glorifies the individual, no matter what choices that individual might make.

Actually, i know a lot of people who identify as democrat that would disagree with this. I disagree as well, but not because of party affiliation.

It's about the separation of church and state, which is pretty much one of the main topics that got the ball rolling which eventually led to the formation of this country. Not to mention it's half of the first amendment to the constitution.

i would say until being an un- or other-believer stops falling out of favor & is more socially acceptable, you will see lots of 'culturally christian' democrats.

funny how those who clamor for independent thought (as christianity is frequently couched when perceived to be under attack), are loathe to extend this same courtesy.

I was a religious liberal for many years before I become a godless liberal. I still do not believe the two are mutually exclusive.

as much as i disagree with religion and fail to see value in it, i still believe in religious freedom. until you try to legislate your beliefs. then you'll find out what happens when you fvck strangers in the ass,

Republican lawmaker very sorry he said men should be able to rape women if abortion is legal

lol wut?

GOP lawmakers blasted the Obama administration Wednesday for failing to fully enforce several federal laws, including the Affordable Care Act, current immigration policy, sentencing laws and the federal ban on same-sex marriage.

so wait, they want to sue / allow lawsuits against the president for not enforcing a law that the supreme court overturned as unconstitutional?

I disagree. I strongly encourage these types to continue to openly voice these thoughts, as loudly and as often as possible, to remind the voting public exactly the type of representative they are.

and this is where we strongly agree. now, take this to the next level of private enterprise: if you have douchebaggery going on, do not pass laws. pass information.

x-post to healthcare thread?

It’s easy to poke fun at Bill O’Reilly’s freakout over President Obama sitting down with Zach Galifianakis on his satirical Web series “Between Two Ferns.” On one level, it’s a typical case of Angry Grandpa just not getting it – Did he really say “Abe Lincoln would not have done it”? Why, yes he did – but it’s more than that. It’s a case of an entire political demographic panicking over how irrelevant they’re becoming, and how Obama is hastening their passing.
