GOP’s Inept Planned Parenthood Hearings Were a Disgrace by MONA CHAREN September 30, 2015
Dear Republican Members of Congress, Consider this an intervention. You guys do not understand how to hold a decent hearing. Hillary Clinton danced away from your Benghazi questions like Muhammad Ali. Your threats to hold more hearings on Planned Parenthood and Benghazi are about as frightening as President Obama’s warnings to Vladimir Putin that “doubling down on Assad would be a mistake.” Within hours of Obama’s feeble bleat, Russian planes were dropping bombs on the Syrian resistance (not, it should be noted, on ISIS).
Vladimir Putin’s Russia, once described by John McCain as a “gas station pretending to be a country,” is now running circles around Mr. Obama — rushing to fill the power void left by American abdication in the Middle East. Speaking of running circles, that’s pretty much what Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards managed to do at the much-heralded hearing this week.
The committee’s chairman announced that the devastating videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress would not be shown during the hearing due to a court order in California. So, instead of the topic of the hour — truly heart-rending footage of aborted babies being picked over for their livers and hearts, to cite just one example — the hearing featured charts showing how much money Planned Parenthood spent on various services over the past year. Riveting.

Uniparty bump
It was pointless. It lacked focus. It was kabuki.
If these people had any principles or decency, hearings concerning Planned Parenthood would have closely resembled the Nuremberg trials.
Because morally, there is absolutely no difference between what the Nazis did in Germany and across Europe and what the abortionists and their enablers have done in America.
Defeat from the jaws of victory... Lucy with the football every time.
Does anyone remember winning?
The GOP is a disgrace.
I’m going to find it very difficult to show up at the polls for the general..
I will have to give it some time to sort out. If the election were today, I would go fishing..
Kabuki is right, and I bet if you follow the folks on the panel back you will find some connection to keeping things like they are....
They just shift positions while inevitably creeping forward progressive style.
Will take a generation or 2 to straighten this out...
The Jews wandered for 40 years before they got their heads on straight and were led to the promised land...
We have been out longer, Pre WW2
No more
None of these people on this committee have gotten a thing done. Not on anything that I can see. Nothing.
Fast and furious...nothing
Benghazi... nothing
IRS... nothing
planned parenthood... nothing

Were they designed to give them a reason NOT to defund?
That b*tch makes $600,000/year and she couldn’t answer a lot of Chaffetz’ questions. I WANT A REFUND!!!
Trump should’ve run third party because the Republican party is useless.
Yawn-—I am afraid that I am correct-—that most of the Republicans in Congress are just a part of the “dog and pony” show-—to move us into a totalitarian NWO. They are part of the Dialectical Materialism which was put in place by the 60s. Both parties were taken over.
We have a Marxist “health” system, a Marxist child indoctrination system-Majority Marxists on SCOTUS so we have antithetical “Just Laws” (LOL) so all our children’s minds are programmed and corrupted and ruined who attend “public” Common Core Marxist indoctrination systems. (They program emotions and lies and destroy the ability to “think” critically.)
We have a Leviathan system of forced “progressive (Marxist)” taxation (private property confiscation) so the Leftists can fund ISIS and their evil “Just Laws” of normalizing sodomy in children— (Christian Ethics ejected and muslim ethics posited in our children)___and fundamentally change the worldview of ALL THE CHILDREN with their evil, vile shows and curricula which promote dysfunction and vice 24/7.)
Many Republicans are in on the SAME GAME-—and are normalizing the Worldview of the muslims, Marxists—that dehumanizing, nihilist worldview of “happy slavery” and their homosexual boy-raping agenda will be completed as they sexualize and emasculate all the little boys in this nation in public schools, and with their Glee programing, designed by the Hollywood rapers of the Corey boys, so we have puerile, immoral, vile “adult” males who lust after males, goats and boys, like the Samurai/Afghani and muslim males, and Nazis SA males.
The Republicans have been HELPING zero fundamentally change this nation into a Marxist irrational hellhole of total slavery where Evil is Good.
this is a jonathan gruber moment for the GOP. They think we are dumb enough to believe these hearings mean something while they fund PP.
I’m 65 years old...
I’ve been doing the same thing, (voting for republicans) and hoping for a different result since I began voting.
The republican Congress sucked eggs even back in the Reagan days. This country gets progressively worse every 4 years and frankly, I don’t see it getting better, no matter who we send.
Trump is a total wildcard. Like betting on a horse because of the color or the stance, or the way it walks. Very risky business..
To quote Reagan, “The Party left me, I did not leave it.”
The GOP figures and rightly so, that most of the base will dutifully turnout.
One day, perhaps soon, that won’t be the case.
No he isn't - Obama is playing his part perfectly, and enjoying it.
It really pays to butcher the unborn child. America 2015
Mona nailed it. Who the Hell cares what they spent on PARTIES!! It’s the FACT that they get OUR MONEY to KILL BABIES and SELL THEIR PARTS!
I'm going at least to vote against Kelly Ayotte....maybe others as well. I refuse to hold my nose in 2016 and vote for the establishment.
Pathetic.
