The GOP's Dirty Dozen
Posted on 05/30/2008 7:28:41 PM PDT by Diago
Three news items this week again highlight the corrupt manner in which our tax dollars are doled out to evildoers throughout our country. These three items also hammer home why the GOP is known as the Stupid Party. If the Planned Parenthood is going to spend $10 million a year to elect Democrats, why do so many Republicans continue to vote to give $330 million a year to Klanned Parenthood? Never mind that giving money to Klanned Parenthood is like donating sand to the Sahara Desert. But with one hand Planned Parenthood accepts $330 million of our tax dollars from the Dirty Dozen Republicans and their Democratic friends , and with the other hand they write $10 million dollars worth of checks to beat the candidate these same Republicans are backing.
First we read that Democrats Give a Discount to Planned Parenthood by using a bill designed to help fund our troops. According to CitizenLink.com, on Wednesday, the U.S. Senate voted on an amendment to the War Supplemental Appropriations Bill. Democrats, led by Sen. Barack Obama, had inserted language to help Planned Parenthood into the domestic-spending portion of this troop-funding bill. The Senate passed the amendment 75-22.
Next a note from Father Pavone of Priests for Life concerning what we can expect from the billion dollar Big Abortion Lobby:
In fact, two of the largest pro-abortion organizations – NARAL and Planned Parenthood – have announced they plan to spend $10,000,000 each to influence voters and counteract the kind of work organizations like us are doing. You read that correctly: TEN MILLION DOLLARS EACH ... a total of $20,000,000!!!
Finally, we have this tidbit from the Family Research Council concerning the GOP's Dirty Dozen, twelve Republicans begging President Bush to help keep our $330 Million tax dollars flowing to Planned Parenthood - - in essence robbing the poor to give to the rich abortion profiteers.
The GOP's Dirty Dozen
May 23, 2008
Yesterday, 12 Republicans, led by Rep. Mark Kirk (Ill.), quietly sent a letter to President Bush asking him to keep the current Title X regulations. The current rules bar pro-life groups from receiving Title X funds and allow groups like Planned Parenthood (PP) to use dollars to help keep their profitable abortion business viable.
The existing Title X policy was put in place by President Clinton, who overturned President Reagan's regulations which protected taxpayer monies by separating the supposedly clean side of PP's business (PAP and breast cancer screening, HIV testing, etc.) from the abortion side.
A large majority of Americans believe that the federal government should not be funding abortionists, yet that is exactly what President Clinton's regulations, which have been maintained by President George W. Bush, do.
If this Dirty Dozen were really serious about protecting the supposedly legitimate side of PP, they would welcome new regulations to protect those efforts.
In light of recent revelations that PP clinics across the nation have been involved in racism, defrauding taxpayers and complicit in the statutory rape of young girls, someone should ask these appeasers of abortion and bad government why they seek to shield potential criminal activity.
If President Bush fails to act, our future President should. These changes are necessary to protect women and to protect PP from itself.
Contact your congressmen if they appear in the following "Dirty Dozen" list and express your disappointment: Reps. Mark Kirk (Ill.)
Christopher Shays (Conn.)
Kay Granger (Texas)
Jim Ramstad (Minn.)
Charlie Dent (Pa.)
Rodney Frelinghuysen (N.J.)
Ralph Regula (Ohio)
David Hobson (Ohio)
Judy Biggert (Ill.)
Mike Castle (Del.)
Wayne Gilchrest (Md.)
Deborah Pryce (Ohio).
Margaret Sanger must be laughing in Hell...well, may be not.
“Next a note from Father Pavone of Priests for Life concerning what we can expect from the billion dollar Big Abortion Lobby:”
I never heard how wealthy these murderers are. But God owns it all, my question is, if God wills to take away the wealth of the nation (through recession or another great depression) to prevent us funding abortions, are we willing to accept that as His will? Are we willing to give up the wealth of this nation to save the lives of the innocent? It’s an easy question for me because I am not wealthy.
bttt
Thanks for listing these. What is going on in our once-great party??? Grrrrr.
The GOP used to be the conservative party, but no longer. McCain is a good example of liberals infiltrating and taking over our once great party.
I agree. How can we encourage more conservatives to run? It boggles my mind.

From my perspective, you cannot have an organization that on the one hand receives money from politicans directly. And then have another organization that elects these officials...
I guess I need to send another letter to the IRS about this.
If McCain-Feingold does not address this, it should... If nothing else Senator John S. McCain should come out swinging on this issue.
THIS SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT CAMPAIGN ISSUE -- in my opinion.
We in Maryland gave Gilchrest the boot in the primary season. His days are numbered.
Now if we could only get rid of the rest of the liberals, Republican and demoncrat.

But...but...but, Obama Claims he’s a Christian.
I agree. Liberalism is a disease and we need to innoculate ourselves and our country against it.
