Oh look at this wonderful, christian Rep from Texas who says defunding
Planned Parenthood makes up to the Teabaggers for not cutting $100 Billion.

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/04/gop-frosh-on-government-shutdown-planned-parenthood-rider-makes-up-for-smaller-cuts.php



Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) told TPM that the showdown is over two things: "keeping our promises to the people that elected us to cut spending and implement some policy changes."


"As Republicans, we promised in the pledge to America to cut $100 billion off of Obama's plan. If we're going to come back with less than that, we've got to come back with some policy riders to say look, I took less than $100 billion, but I've defunded Planned Parenthood or abortions in the District of Columbia. Or I've ended Obamacare," Farenthold said in an interview following a news conference featuring House GOP freshmen on Friday.

8. Haha
I hate to laugh at a time like this but you're absolutely right. Lawrence had him on the other night, and other than the fact he wouldn't look into the camera, he seemed rather harmless.
Of course, despite Lawrence's questions, he didn't mention abortion. I was all about the Constitution!

I'm sure the Constitution is all he has on a cold night to keep him warm. He wouldn't have any use for birth control or STD testing. Maybe a pair of tweezers...

:dunce:

4. Question for Republican women
Do you enjoy having your lives used as bargaining chips for temporary political gain? Do you hate yourselves, your mothers and aunts, your daughters and nieces, and your sisters so much that you'd rather see them diseased or dead than exact another three cents from the "earnings" of Paris Hilton and Charlie Sheen? Is that all you think you're worth?

14. he hasn't missed seconds at a meal in a long time.
can we take away his public provided health insurance policy? I think he has a touch of high blood pressure. I'd also like him to piss in a bottle and I'll send it out for testing for drugs. (just a policy thing)

15. It makes me sick that he's the grandson
...of the great Sissy Farenthold. My secret hope is that every time she sees him she slaps him up the side of his thick, thick head.

18. I can't believe he is Frances' grandson.
Makes me sick.

I pushed cards at the polls for her when she ran for Governor in 1972.

Her grandfather was John Tarleton, that Tarleton State College is named after.

20. It kind of takes away from the old Tea Bagger line that they are concerned about cutting spending...
and not about social conservative issues.
