Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh Says Debate Over Birth Control Has Nothing To Do With Women (VIDEO)

Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh Says Debate Over Birth Control Has Nothing To Do With Women (VIDEO): "Deadbeat dad and Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh is at it again. Involving himself in issues he is woefully unqualified to be involved in, Walsh sat in his chair during the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on birth control last week and complained about President Obama’s new rules about contraceptives.

As part of Darrell Issa’s inquisition, no women were permitted to testify about birth control. Instead, the Republican head hunter invited a bunch of He-Man woman haters, also known as religious bigots, to speak on the issue of birth control, even though they lack the necessary anatomy to actually qualify to speak at such a hearing...."

What an asshat. This has EVERYTHING to do with women since it's us it's affecting. I don't give a shit if some religious organization doesn't want their insurance company to provide it or not. Every woman is entitled to these medications, especially if they need them to treat Fibroid Tumors or PMDD or any other medical disorder that only affects WOMEN!

Never Forget The Republican Manipulation of 9/11 For War and Profit

Never Forget The Republican Manipulation of 9/11 For War and Profit: "Many cultures celebrate anniversaries of important events or milestones like the length of a marriage, years a business has existed, or any event important enough to remember on a specific date. For the past week, Americans were reminded to remember the terror attacks on 9/11 and in many cases, organizations repeated the phrase “never forget” as if anyone over the age of fourteen needs to be told to remember the death and devastation America suffered. However, there are reasons to remember the vicious attacks other than the toll in innocent lives; Americans should remember how Republicans used the event and subsequent anniversaries for political gain. 9/11 signifies the beginning of America’s crusade against Islam and Republicans’ money-making scams to enrich the oil industry and corporations. Republican policies since 9/11 have caused untold damage to America and the world making their celebration of 9/11 tantamount to Germans celebrating the Holocaust....."

The Dirty Little Red State Secret: Welfare Disguised as Defense Spending

The Dirty Little Red State Secret: Welfare Disguised as Defense Spending: "Charged with finding the cuts to balance the budget for the debt ceiling debacle that Republicans built, Senator Kyl and his Republican friends cry foul when the cuts come near home.

If you’re wondering why Republicans are whining about possible cuts to the defense budget in the Super Committee that wouldn’t even be in place had Republicans not held the country hostage over raising the debt ceiling, one of the main reasons is because they hail from districts and or states that rely on military spending, or they are chairman of the Armed Services Committee or the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Charged with finding $1.5 trillion in cuts to reduce the budget, John Kyl (R-AZ) threatened to quit the Super Committee today if defense cuts were on the table. At a luncheon held by the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation, CNN reports that Kyl said cuts should come from “entitlement” programs like Medicare and Social Security, not defense spending....."
