2013-10-01
[Real Clear Politics] Sen. Barbara Call me Senator! Boxer
Senator-for-Life from Caliphornia...

Quack, quack quack... quack!

#5  hyperbole: (/haɪˈpɜrbəliː/ hy-PUR-bə-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή hyperbolē, "exaggeration") is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally

#4  Much of this over-the-top rhetoric coming from the Demoncrats (sp) and the media are quite similar to the threats, accusations, screaming, and shouting of teenagers being denied the family car for a date or a drug abuser being confronted by a fed-up co-dependent who decided it was time someone went to rehab. The verbal abuse positively identifies who is the juvenile/doper.

She is, of course, referring to the conscience clauses being added to the so-called "ACA" not obligating companies or insurance plans to finance abortifacients and abortions. Pro-life legislators have endured this kind of abuse and false witness for decades to the point of being practically immune to it (in fact, these practices were perfected while attacking pro-lifers to support abortion, and was just extended to everything else when it was noticed there was no push-back). I was wondering where the H*ll they were, and was about to write off the REpubs as nutless f*ckwits no longer deserving our support.

Good to know these guys are in the fight. They'll hold the line, no matter what kind of sh*t is thrown at them by the media and the Donks, because they know their constituency is on to those two and will be checking their voting records.

My worry is that the leadership will cut and run. In that I will be directing my donation money to the National Right To Life PAC, and tell every GOP leadership fundraising caller that they are nutless f*ckwits and to put me on their do-not-call list. I'll toss a few dollars towards Crews, Rand Paul, and the pro-lifers, but not a cent to the "But it't THEIR TURN!" leadership that gave us Dole and McCain.
