TRC: You will note that the evil witch that used to represent me in Congress when I lived in Connecticut, Rosa DeLauro (D-CT3) voted against the bill in question and Hyde voted for it as did my current and future pro-life Congressman Don Manzullo. I am not in doubt as to that departmental budget including Planned Barrenhood funds. Hyde ought not to have voted for it. OTOH, there is not a sincere pro-lifer in the USA with and IQ above room temperature who would imagine that this roll call proves Rosa DeLauro (former Executive Director of Emily's List) is more of a pro-lifer or more of an effective pro-life member of Congress than has been Henry Hyde.

A major problem I have with the ultras here is the constant search for manufactured flawed grievances.

Tancredo is the poster boy for manufactured and quite unproductive flawed grievances. He is a publicity craving phony and his fifteen minutes are about up. Further, if you think border moonbattism has a positive future for conservatives and a shelf life beyond three years at max, you are kidding yourself. Note that Tancredo voted against the bill cited along with Rosa DeLauro, Gary Ackerman D-NY, Earl Blumenauer D-OR, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Weepy Walter PaleoCutandRun Jones R?-NC), Patches Kennedy D-RI (Ted the Swimmer's whelp), Dennis (Red Bad Yoda) Kucinich D-OH, Ron Paleopantywaist Paul R?-TX, Nancy Facelift Pelosi D-CA, Jan Schakowsky D-IL and Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT).

With, ummmmm, all due respect, I suggest that this roll call hardly proves your apparent point but I will be sure to include this in my future attacks on Tommy Temper Tantrum, Weepy Walter and PaleoRonniePaul. I had thought that Weepy Walter and Ron Paul had only gone Demonnative on manhood and war. Apparently, they have other problems too. I had not thought that even Tancredo was voting with Rosa the Babyslasher on bills such as this but, if they voted the same way, Rosa has never cast a pro-life vote in her execrable life. I know her personally. You don't.

Bet that there is a lot more to this vote than meets the eye. Also, Nancy Johnson (R?-CT5) has been married for many decades to OB-GYN Dr. Ted Johnson, now retired, who was the primary abortionist in New Britain, CT for decades. Nancy Johnson is an enthusiast for abortion like the Dallas Cowgirls are for the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowgirls look a lot better of course. Nancy voted FOR this bill while DeLauro voted against it. The Planned Barrenhood funding was NOT the issue in this vote. Nancy Johnson and Rosa DeLauro are to Margaret Sanger's memory what Monica was to the Arkansas Antichrist.

COLEUS: Your #1 is a quite misleading post. I very much admire what you do here but Chris Smith and Henry Hyde are heroes as Rosa DeLauro and Nancy Johnson are not.

Is it misleading? The pro life? members in congress DO vote for planned parenthood funding every year. The republicans are in power and can take Title X out of that spending bill and make it a separate appropriation--they choose to do not and vote for it. It's not misleading at all.

And sure Democrats vote NO for that bill. It's an appropriating bill written by the republicans. They voted NO because there wasn't enough money in it and they also voted NO because it contained the Title 1 appropriate for education funding, remember the No Child Left Behind. Yes, Ted Kennedy voted no to this bill because it shortchanged, in their view, educational funding. Another reason why these bills should be vote on separately. The son of George Rubbers Bush, the congressman who wrote the Title X bill, is president today and signed HR 3010 into law. Hyde, Smith, et. al. have yet to introduce a Human Life Amendment which is part of the platform of the Republican Party. What are they waiting for? They don't want to do it. Just as the National Right to Life did NOT want to help make abortion illegal in South Dakota. Once abortion is illegal they will be out of a job.

What is misleading is the fact that these so-called, pro-life representatives vote to give money to America's largest abortion provider year after year and appropriate NOTHING to the many crisis pregnancy centers barely getting by. If Chris Smith and Henry Hyde are heroes they would have voted NO like the dozen or so other republicans did.

And speaking from a fiscal conservative standpoint they should have also voted NO. Reagan wanted to end the Dept. of Ed. and Title 1, the neocons want to keep it.

Ronald Reagan tried to end the Title X funding of Planned
Parenthood by putting in place regulations that no Title X money could go to organizations that performed or referred for abortions. Planned Parenthood called these regulations the “gag rule” and tied them up in court challenges throughout Reagan’s two terms. It thus kept receiving Title X and other taxpayer funding. To Reagan’s credit, he did slow the growth of Planned Parenthood funding. In 1989, his last budget year, Planned Parenthood received $118 million—an increase of 39 percent over eight years (one-quarter
of the growth that occurred during Carter’s years).

There is absolutely nothing misleading in Post #1, that is the official vote tally of the House bill 3010 which included Title X Planned Parenthood Funding and the big Title 1 pork bill. Their actions speak louder than words. The so-called pro lifers will have to answer and live by their actions. Their words mean nothing. Planned Parenthood is now fighting the South Dakota abortion law. Who funded Planned Parenthood? Smith, Hyde and company by HR 3010. "All about the Anus" is taught to teens. How did PP get the money to make this program? from the taxpayers. The Bush, Hastert, Hyde, Smith administration spent more on Title X planned parenthood funding than did the Clinton administration and there are still 2 more yrs. for the fiscal-conservatives to fund it even more.
