Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) was rebuked by his Senate colleagues on Sunday as he tried to force a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood.
Lee had tried to attach an amendment eliminating all federal funds for Planned Parenthood to the vote on Congress’s must-pass highway legislation.
The amendment was rejected by the chair of the Senate, who called it out of order because it was not germane to the highway bill.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) decided last week that he would only allow two amendments to the bill – a repeal of ObamaCare and a reauthorization of the Export-Import bank – while blocking all others in a procedure known as “filling the tree.”

he’s one hard hearted professional politician. and he’s all in for the GOP leftists. got to hand it to him. he made good on his vow to stop conservatives in the GOP primaries last year and he and his chamber cronies basically pulled it off.

After all, money talks.
Impeach McConnell!!!!!!!!!!!
When pigs fly........................

The point you may be missing is that KY likes its bastards.
They get a lot of help from the uninformed of KY and OH; their numbers just keep growing.
It looks like republicans are deliberately throwing away their majority in the Senate.
...
They are making billions for their cronies. They don’t care.

Mitch Reid is running the Senate like Harry McConnell used to.
“Gee, I wonder why Trump is surging in the polls. Whatever could be the cause? I just can’t figure it out.”
The Son of a bitches in the GOPe don’t give a damn. They run on total lobbyist money now.
The republicans can be thanked for Satan running this country
Thanks for lightening up the mood :)
“Why are the people of Kentucky just standing by and letting this jacka$$ be the person that is representing them”.
And Ron Paul Jr. supported him for reelection over his conservative opponent.
“What is the difference between the senate and a fresh, hot, steaming smelly pile of sh*t?”
Oh, that’s easy. A fresh, hot, steaming pile will soon turn into compost which plants will love and will make your garden grow. The senate on the other hand never becomes anything even slightly useful.
“The GOP not only condones lying to its constituents, they approve of sellings aborted baby parts.”
Yes, that’s pretty much the gop in a nutshell.
Planned Parenthood is involved in a new profitable project. They are calling it “Soylent Green”
From Animal Farm...and the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig again......and they could no longer tell the difference. Republicans are the pigs.
