It looks like the new Republican talking point is that: "There are more important things than living."

Or so I hear.

Now, that's not really a contradiction for the pro-lifers when you understand that a fetus is a fetish and very special and that's that. That's the entire ideology of the movement and the proof is in the parturition. When you are "out", well, sinner, you are OUT!

The emphasis is now on the life of an economy itself, (and the shady bastards who drink from the fountain). That is, a financial abstraction and let the consumer be damned. The official GOP view is now emerging as far as to what takes the priority. Human life? Oh, that's merely replaceable human resources. They do reproduce you know and we get even more of them by taking away their reproductive rights, so we have the people farm down well.

Now, where were we? Oh, on to PROFIT that sweet, sweet god. Praise Mammon! Hail Mammon! Another round of Mammon for the crew.

1. Deny he was pushing it
2. That’s a nasty question
3. Deny the preliminary results
4. Fire whoever reported the results

It’s really not very decisive or anything, but if things were working out more promising he’d be all over it.

"Considering you're not a doctor and have no medical training to speak of Mr. President, do you think you should leave the medical advice to those who are doctors and who do have medical training? Because it seems that your advice is particularly bad, to the point of killing more people than if you had just remained silent."
