Senate Republicans had a chance to stop Planned Parenthood from butchering unborn children and selling their body parts to the highest bidder. Instead, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to put up a vote -- thumbing his nose at Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, along with every pro-lifer in the nation.

There is no choice—hasn’t been for years. We are past that awkward stage.

GOP delenda est.

The main ones being hurt by these jokers are the millions of innocent babies who are being “crunched” by PP.

Just like Reid. No difference. RINO to the max.

Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, John Cornyn and John McCain and Orrin Hatch support abortion and support Planned Parenthood.

It’s almost to the point of a cancer. I am almost at the point of VOTING DEMOCRAT just to end this. And perhaps like a PHOENIX a new Populace Party will rise out of the ashes. But at this point I am not sure the Republic can be saved. Too much corruption in the Uni-Party.
Bhoener, McConnel, Reid..they are all in the same bucket of bovine fecal material
I am at this point voting for TRUMP cause at least he sounds like he will do SOMETHING different. Lord send us more like that , please!

Who is? Congress is doing NOTHING, as they are a protected cartel.

Trump has said Planned Parenthood must be defunded.

Trump said a lot of things

Trump talks and talks and talks.

That is what Trump does.

His past shows that he is very different from what he is saying now.

Why would I trust that?

I have absolutely zero ZERO interest in Trump or voting for Trump. I wouldn’t pee on him if he were on fire. Trump is no conservative, not even close.

Americans want leaders with man-parts big enough to do the right thing.....What happened over weekend was an unprecedented display of cowardice from chicken-hearted politicians.... It was a dastardly double-cross.

Absolutely it was.......and they knew the backlash would be as it is...didn't care...no skin off their nose. The idea was to show Cruz and Lee who welds the power regardless if it was an abuse of power.....they are following in Obama's tracks....

You’re the one who brought up Trump’s name on an Emasculated Republicans inability to defund PP thread. I was simply replying to you, with where Trump stands on the issue.

If you don’t care for him, don’t let him live rent-free in your head.

People are jumping too fast on the bandwagons ...they need to let this play out “as planned”.....Trumps doing what he’s suppose to be doing.....too many people getting their pants in a knot rather then enjoying the plays .....which are brilliant in how being played.

Yep. The evil UniParty flashed their collective fangs at Cruz and Lee...and tried to make flesh wounds, as a warning for standing up against their cartel.

From the article: “Come Election Day, voters have a choice - Democrats or Republicans.”

Mmmmm... not really. We have only 1.5 parties. Our choice is actually:

Democrats or Republicrats.

Agree, and agree! We are witnessing great lessons in our Republic’s history, imo.
