In a daring and bold plan republicans have decided to ignore anything that might stimulate the economy and have returned to stimulating their base.
After months of focusing on economic rather than social issues, the House this week is poised to take up a measure that will bring the abortion-rights debate back to the floor for the first time since May.
Oh get real WaPo they haven't focused one tiny brain cell on the economy, its all about fitting the House into a womb.
Goddamn jobs we need to put women's lives in danger.
On Friday, the House will consider H.R. 358, the “Protect Life Act.” The measure, introduced by Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.), would prohibit federal funds from going toward any health care plan that covers abortion services; it also would block funding from being withheld from institutions that are opposed to providing abortions.
Yep good old Republicans funding propaganda rather than health care.
As The Fix’s Rachel Weiner notes, social issues have been largely absent from the presidential campaign trail this cycle, a product of the strong focus placed by most voters on jobs and the country’s still-struggling economy.
Focus? Myopically?
You know why?
Perhaps because their economics are so poor, their ideas so toxic; that when it comes down to it they cannot win on the economy?
Break out the wedge issues!
1] Women need to be saved even if their access to health care is removed!
2] Only heterosexuals are allowed to divorce and marry upon a whim!
3] Women and gays are so evil they are forcing God's hand hence causing abnormal weather patterns and natural disasters.
When all else fails, and fail they have......break out the hatred.
