Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a California Democrat dismayed by the House vote over the weekend to prohibit taxpayer subsidies for insurance policies that cover abortion in the healthcare overhaul, is saying maybe the IRS should investigate the tax-exempt status of the Catholic Church following its lobbying effort for the restriction.

“I expect political hardball on any legislation as important as the health care bill,” Woolsey writes in Politico. “I just didn’t expect it from the United States Council of Catholic Bishops … Who elected them to Congress?

Catholics first

Rahmbo’s homebased Jewish charity second

Black churches 3rd

[clintonh8r]

Woolsey is one of the worst of the worst.

[Z in Washington]

Catholics, regardless of any position within the church that they may have, retain the right to freedom of speech whether that speech is conveyed individually or under any group banner.

Watch out Woolsley.
You may get what you wish for.
Every church that spouts your leftist Commie vomit will get the same treatment.

[wombtotomb]

Flak, target and all that.....

Don’t forget Benny Hinn and the rest of the televanglists !~

[silverleaf]

not to mention the REVrund Sharpton and the REVrund Jackson

amen brother, pass the plate

[2banana]

Will he include the black churches where obama and clinton speak and campaign????

[boomop1]

Who made congress exempt from following the constitution, Woolsey is scummy bit**.?

[mrsmel]

Who elected them to Congress?

FU, you POS. Who made you and other congressmen our rulers rather than public servants? Who elected ACORN? Who elected all the lobbyists that the "most transparent administration EV-ah" was going to do away with? I am steaming at the arrogance of this POS and her arrogant statement.

Wonder if someone wrote Woolsey’s opinion. Had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting her more than once. She is not the sharpest pencil in the pencil-box. Not even sure she can qualify as being a pencil.

Should, but probably won't.

[mrsmel]

Will he include the black churches where obama and clinton speak and campaign????

Excellent point, and I presume rhetorical.

[Ann Archy]

Hey Ugly woman who used to be on WELFARE.....PRETTY sure that Bishops are a LITTLE higher on the ladder than a Congresscritter.

[TYVets]

Now we know who got the 0bama Chicagoland Contract to hit the Catholic Church.

Next, coming to any church that disagrees with the messiah.

[cranked]

Nothing more than a reprisal move by the whining candyass libtards.

[A.A. Cunningham]

“I just didn’t expect it from the United States Council(sic) of Catholic Bishops …

That's the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Representative Scheisskopf.

[DGHoodini]

Yet another proof that the Dims have sold their souls to the Devil, annd are damned. God hating, soulless creatures of Satan.

[Ballygrl]

Hmm, so maybe they’ll investigate the tax exempt status of the Black Baptist Churches? media matters? Jesse Jackson and Al Sharptons groups? I can go on.

[SamuraiScot]

Who elected them to Congress?

Who elected you to God?
