Boehner Orders Congressional Hearings After Planned Parenthood Sting Video

Speaker of the House John Boehner on Wednesday called for congressional hearings into the practices of Planned Parenthood — and one House committee confirmed it will investigate the organization.

The video showed a top Planned Parenthood doctor admitting clinics routinely sell body parts after abortions.

“When an organization monetizes an unborn child — and with the cavalier attitude portrayed in this horrific video — we must all act,” Boehner said.

Well that would make explaining his reelection rather difficult.

I will contact my House Rep, the Honorable Luke Messer, and ask him if the ghoulish practice of selling human infant body parts by Planned Parenthood baby butchers will be/is standard practice now.
Or if the SCOTUS will rule that it is, or if the GOP plans to do anything besides its usual expressions of strong disapproval and promises of investigations, and I expect his reply may be similar to his response when I asked why the GOP had not run anyone against speaker Boehner:
“Because we couldn’t find anyone who would go against him.” In other words, nothing, or the PP killers will be told to be more careful.
The founders would be shooting by now.

Usually I’m fluent in it. I took it from your original comment to me that you thought this situation to get different results because it is so much worse than what happened in Benghazi.

Blow it out your butt, Boehner. You lost me when you started boo-hooing from the get-go I knew right then you were gonna be a dud, and I was right.

Hey it’s a lesser evil. The founders were evil purists and purity is bad and stuff. Just ask any of the lesser evils that spent years preaching it. Oh wait...most of them seem to be scarce lately or pretending none of us remember. No matter. The B team is in attendance and I’m sure they’ll tell us the same.

but they "can't" and won't do anything about it.

I knew in Reagan's first term when Roe was never mentioned that the GOPe were actually in favor of it. Reagan had the Bully Pulpit like no other in my lifetime and he didn't use it either.

The delays have fallen squarely on State and Hillary. I think he’s done a pretty good job demonstrating how inept and dishonest they’ve been in the process. The slow process keep it in the news, which does nothing to help H. It’d be nice to have a quick, streamlined process with accountability, but that rarely, if ever, happens in DC.

YAWN.

A couple hearings, some TV spots, and two weeks of talking points.

Obama will get back on TV with his usual, “No one is more concerned than me and I have directed [someone] to look in to the situation.”

Next week. “I can’t answer any questions on ongoing investigations.”

Two weeks. “The white house addressed this issue two weeks ago.

Three weeks later will be the attack on Republicans for the war on women when they call for a smaller baseline increase for Planned Parenthood.

Four weeks later. Nothing and Planned Parenthood continues as normal with new funding from liberal support groups.

Thats like saying the murder delayed his trial because he didn’t like the way the judge was running it.

Gowdy could have held them all in contempt and instead allowed the charade to continue and continue and continue.

We don’t deserve any accolades. It takes at most 30 minutes to find all the dope on any candidate, including who gave them the most money. Apparently for too many, this is a hardship. So be it.

He could have done that and handed them the “patisan hack witch hunt” prize. So it’s not your way or your timetable. Few things in life will be.

The Rinos are seeing the writing on the wall with Trump in first place and themselves polling low.

Moral and ethical life and American-American interests in the US does matter to GOP elections no matter how many times they deny it. They fear “the moral majority” has been churned up by Trump’s fearless attack on the pro foreign invasion, anti-moral/ethical/liberty Rinos.

Cruz is my guy but he’s terribly uninformed on the foreign worker visa program. Big business is scamming the program and bringing in workers to REPLACE fully qualified and, often employed, American workers using this visa program. We should be focused on training Americans for American job needs. Business should be given incentive for training and hiring Americans.

The foreign workers expect less in benefits and pay and that is why they are bringing them in many times. The immigrants are weak and totally dependent on their visa hosts in America and big business likes that.

In addition, they overstay their visas and become illegals and we have no effective tracking, deportation process for temporary work visa holders. They add to our illegal immigration problem.

It matters what nations these visa workers are coming from. We don’t need terrorist bees nests importations under the visa program. We need people who can fit into the American culture if they are to pursue citizenship as many do.

Also Obama has imported thousands of radical islamists in refugee status. That ticking time bomb has to be addressed and cleared up by the next president. We don’t want to become an Islamic hives nest like Europe has become. Next president has to be honest about Islam. It’s not our friend and does not fit in to our Nation in large numbers.

Mexico has gotten way too aggressive and criminal with our nation and has to be put in it’s place as Trump has pointed out. And he is correct that we need tougher negotiators and enforcement on international trade agreements. The UN North American UN nationstate (combining the governments of the US, Mexico and Canada) idea has to be murdered. Cruz says nothing about the NWO.

Oh please. I don’t know why cowardice is so popular on FR lately but lots of Freepers really need to grow a pair.

MONTHS of delays does not justice make.
