Sandra Fluke didn’t even need to appear before a committee to create a row. That was a Rat put-up when the GOP refused to put her before the real committee without proper vetting. The Rats win this game coming and going.
And it looks like we can apply the way the US government is handling Climate Change, with the methods it has used to handle every other aspect of our life's. Facts do not matter. Truths do not matter. All that matters is their control and our money.
