How do SoCons feel about being treated like a battered spouse? The House can't do a vote even if it is defeated to show at least they tried.

[Jack Hammer]

No one speaks for the murdered children.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

How convenient.

It’s a show vote. It is nothing.

Rand Paul is a corrupt little weasel who is in with McConnell. Here’s the proof:

He’s dead to me.

Like McConnell he makes himself appear conservative when it doesn’t matter, by participating in bills that have no teeth, that go nowhere. If he had filed an amendment or even tried to file one to a must-pass bill, then that’s not a show vote. But he didn’t. He’s playing games and the link above makes it painfully clear he’s a coward.

I think what SoCons lack is a healthy supply of pessimism and cynicism. What they have in droves is normalcy bias and wishful thinking.

I can’t find my shocked face . . . it’s around here somewhere.

Boehner probably has to go to the liquor store, the rest can wait.

"House vote to defund Planned Parenthood unlikely."

FIXED.

[Logical me]

So Cruz was right that this defund of Planned Parenthood should have been attached to the transportation bill. The transportation bill will probably be fast tracked before the Senate recess. And McConnell did lie and this rat face really shi! on Americans that overwhelming showed discuss.

[onedoug]

Of course. It’s what ghouls and murderers do.

[tennmountainman]

The House is too busy planning for ramming the Ex IM Bank through.

[navyguy]

The Republicrats, led by Boehner, don’t have the coconuts to defund PP. They’re terrified of being called meanies.

John Boehner’s health advisers relative does abortions.
