Pat Meehan has a meltdown when confronted with the fact that he voted to take away funding for the largest family planning organization in the country, which performs abortions with NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING.

1. Meehan, It's your personal bias, stupid

That's your Excuse, not reality. You intentionally lean upon a fallacious testimony to your constituents to defend your "no" vote which is based upon your Personal bias in spite of what the constituents want.

That kinda defines the duties of a dictator.

What you Really meant and accomplished here is reveal your biases. Oh, heck, lets just be blunt. You revealed your Prejudice against women. Period.
Your bias is against the Fact they perform abortions at all. So you move to take ALL of the money out because you can't take just the funding that pays for abortions, because It Was Never There. So you resort to Lying.
Further, it's not about the money at all, you guys are letting Boehner spend $500,000.00 Plus to defend DOMA in spite of what the people want. Those are our tax dollars too, so it's not about concerns of money, another fallacious excuse.

So you cut funding for All services, punishing tens of thousands of people, your people, in order to stand your moral ground with willful and wantonly negligent disregard for your constituents ability to access health care that is affordable?
That, Mr Meehan is Abuse Of Power.
You should be fired, immediately, with cause. You are not fit for service.

Mr Meehan, sometimes what you don't say while you're trying not to say it; says it all.

2. IMO, he continued showing his contempt

for women during this "meltdown, knowing full well that he did indeed claim PP uses 90% of its budget for abortion and that money is provided by the government. Yet, he verbally attacked this woman and berated her because she did not have his "full quote." That smarmy bastard knows what he said and he could have "manned up" and repeated his quote instead of abusing her for speaking truth to "power" (lobbyists money). FOK him too.
p.s. If he had a 13 y.o. daughter that got pregnant, he would (IMO) run to get her an abortion.

4. Meehan

I like your response to the Meehan video. You made some great points. These teapublicans got swept into the house because of the economy and this is the crap they pull. De-fund Planned Parenthood, NPR, NEA, Head Start and everything else they can think of. How does that create jobs! I think and hope the american people are getting a good look at these cretins in action and respond accordingly at the voting booth in 2012.

5. Ya know.....

watching these worms squirm when confronted with the truths of the so-called Ryan budget (I say "so-called" because it's really a blatant wealth re-allocation), it's obvious THEY don't really have much of a grasp in the impact of said budget's various components. Either that OR.... they ASSume their constituents are too stoopid to see the sleight-of-hand that's being perpetrated upon them. I'd LOVE to be a fly on the wall when these idjits reconvene in DC to swap war stories from the front lines. We may never hear of what's said in that huddle, but there's got to be at least SOME surprize (and worry) that this might not go as smoothly and they'd originally imagined!

6. I urge ALL folks going to ANY Town Hall to get educated and

have the information ready when speaking. Simply crying and wailing does no one any good! For those interested, here is a QUOTE by Meehan about PP:

"Meehan, in an interview, defended his vote.

"That was not an easy vote to cast, by any stretch of the imagination," the congressman from Delaware County said. "I support the concept of preventative health care for women, to be sure, but was deeply concerned about the many voters in my district who expressed opposition to their tax dollars' being used by an organization that promotes abortion."

There are probably more out there from Meehan about PP.

7. I miss Joe Sestak

He is my congressman, he lives around 20 minutes from where I live. What a downgrade going from Joe Sestak to Pat Meehan :(
