From the Article:
(2) Also in 1992, McConnell voted to overturn the so-called “Reagan Rule” that prohibited Planned Parenthood from using taxpayer dollars for pro-abortion counseling.
Roll Call Vote #254, 10/1/92
McConnell’s vote in that case was to override President Bush’s veto, but the House sustained it. Then, in 1993, President Clinton overturned the “Reagan Rule” by Executive Order on the first day of his administration.
Because Uniparty Rules.
We could send Carson to cut off his doodads but he would come back empty handed.
We should have, more than ten days before the end of the fiscal year, send funding bills to Obama for everything except HHS. Then Obama could either have vetoed those bills and taken the blame; or signed them, in which case most of FedGov doesn’t get shut down; or done nothing, in which case they would become law after ten days. At that point, once the rest of FedGov is funded, we could have a showdown over Obamacare and Planned Parenthood, and far fewer people would object to shutting down just HHS, not to mention that it would be clear that Obama was shutting down medicare/medicaid.
The problem is that the GOP leadership doesn’t want to win. They want to lose and use their annual defeat to try to motivate voters. We need President Cruz to give us victories, because Boehner and McConnell will not do that for conservatives.
Mcconnel was not a conservative on anything. Those who say Mcconnel is a coward don’t understand him at all. He’s quite brave in defending what he truly believes in, which is Left wing ideology
Interesting, but I don’t think it answers the question of why McConnell won’t stand up to the Dems on any other issue, either. Whatever that reason is, probably rules all the issues.
Off with his head.
Shame on you, KY.
There are only two candidates that have what it takes to be in the White House, Trump= to get rid of the dead wood, make deals to get manufacturing jobs back to America, build a wall and export the illegal immigrants that are draining the money out of America, to build a strong Military, to take care of our Vets, to fix the inter structure of America, to help Americans get a health care program that everyone can afford, to get rid of the trillions of dollar of debt we have...
Cruz: good speaker, knows the Constitution of what we can and cannot do, will support Trump on Making America Great Again, can be the go between from House to Senate....
And after 4 or 8 years, Cruz can go in as POTUS and continue the program that he and Trump have built...
Good all around America First thinking....
Tis a shame they're so gutless, and so powerful at the same time.
If the GOP doesn't get rid of them, and soon, in favor of fighters for what's supposed to be the GOP conservativecauses (on paper), I would not be surprised if they lose the power they so much want to keep.
Shame on these two. Horrible, spineless and cretinous.
It is all about the Benjamnins and votes.
I imagine you will find plenty of donations to McConnell from PP over the years if you look
We the people as a Constitutional Republic must DEPOSE obama and his entire progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uni-party, they have total control waiting another 15 months will only allow them to dig in ever deeper, how can we trust an election process the democrat/rino communist uni-party which has spent decades perfecting their corruption of elections for just such a time as this, when a real challenge to their control comes along.
We have the constitutional authority to depose this tyrannical gov’t but we the people fail to pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor, we are just too damned comfortable to fight tyranny and the enemy within knows it.
Does it really need to be explained?
Mitch is ONE vote. What about the other 53 Senators? Even conservatives fall in the trap of letting them off the hook. They choose to let McConnell speak for them so let’s hold their feet to the fire.
Ken Cuccinelli say McConnell is pro-pp.
