IMHO the democrats did a wonderful job of painting the GOP as mysoginists. Considering her testimony, complete with a selection of anectdotal and heart tugging testimony, her position is that having wanton sex causes undue financial hardship on the female students. The remedy is to have someone else pay to reduce that hardship, thus, paying for her behavior. She does not argue that the partners have any potential responsibility in the matter. BTW, we're talking only about $1000.00 per year.

Rush did go over the top IMHO, but I also don't think that someone else ought pay for someone elses willful choices. Come to think of it, I'd like $1000.00 for my allergy medications, that would nearly cover a nice amplifier.


Here's Rush's statement:

RUSH: What does it say about the college co-ed Sandra Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex, what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We're the pimps. (interruption) The johns? We would be the johns? No! We're not the johns. (interruption) Yeah, that's right. Pimp's not the right word. Okay, so she's not a slut. She's "round heeled." I take it back.

I think the GOP did it to themselves. That is the price of pandering.

Here's Rush's statement:

From what I'm reading, Fluke is a ringer that Pelosi brought in, and the whole thing is contrived.

And Rush was stupid enough to call her a whore instead of pointing out that she WAS a ringer.

This isn't so much about birth control, or insurance, as it is about politics. And Rush managed to blunder around and hand a win to the Donks.

... and that, gentlemen, sums it up.

You did fail to mention the awful optics of the GOP House Committee meeting to discuss women's health without any women present. That was the first big blunder is this whole episode.

I'm certainly receptive to the argument that Obama set the whole stage for the GOP overreaction to his contraceptive proposal.

That's because I'm paying very little attention to all of this, considering that we have bigger fish to fry.

As far as I'm concerned, the Republicans are reacting like Noon used to whenever TD used to say "Gotta go, O'Reilly's on!" And ol' Noon would ALWAYS come charging out, foaming at the mouth, and start a tirade about Faux News, stupid people who vote against their own best interests, etc.

It was so effective I started doing the same thing. However, Noon finally wised up. I'm afraid my boys and girls never will.

seems like the GOP is buying into this hook line and sinker!
should make it an easy win for those of us on the left!

You are correct, my friend.

The GOP doesn't stand a chance this election cycle.

Nope, Pelosi only set up her conference after Ms. Fluke was denied the opportunity to testify at Issa's little farce. Note that he only had a bunch of tired old men testifying and not a doctor in the lot.

No ringers here Chas.
