Congressional Republicans say they are determined to shut Planned Parenthood down, regardless of whether it broke any laws.

In more than two months of investigations, members have yet to turn up evidence that Planned Parenthood acted illegally, the same conclusion reached by a half-dozen state investigations. The Department of Justice has so far declined to launch a formal probe.

Several Republicans acknowledged this week that they may never find proof of wrongdoing at Planned Parenthood — but said it doesn't matter.

“I don’t know whether we’re ever going to be able to answer that question, whether it was illegal for them to do what they were doing,” Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) said during the House’s first hearing on the topic Wednesday. "I don’t know if it was illegal … but it was immoral, what was seen on that video."

1. The degree of factual delusion absorbed into their DNA by these idiots and snake oil salesman over PP smears is beyond comprehension.

It is almost like they demand fiction be deemed as good as fact and are outraged at anyone who disagrees....in other words, insanity. A weird kind of mass semi-lucid insanity led by political folks who are more lucidly insane but equally haters of facts.

Abject Stupidity of the TPers... seems like they have just gone into a death spiral of insanity (when insanity masquerades as profound stupidity)...They seem to be going looking for things to go bat shit crazy about.

This is not hyperbole or exaggeration.

3. A caller on the Thom Hartmann Show said she had called the

SEC about a matter unrelated to this, and the receptionist went off on her and "libruls" about Planned Parenthood, screaming about taxpayers paying for abortions, etc. The caller said she calmly stated some facts about PP, abortion, and the Hyde Amendment, but the crazy lady answering phones at the SEC was stuck in her own dogma.

Republicans like to stay stuck in their ignorance.
