Actual title is Dots connect: Is this why Sandra Fluke picked to testify? Progressive groups snagged in birth control debate

More in the article.... I just put some snippets here to encourage you to read the whole thing...

According to reports, it was Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-New York, who pushed for Fluke’s testimony.

Maloney is tied to a progressive pollster, Celinda Lake,

KleinOnline has found that her Lake Research is one of the driving forces behind the progressive strategy to use contraception as an election.

Most likely just a Fluke occurrence.

Maloney is mistaken for choosing this as an election issue. And it is going to backfire...big time.

People are worried about how to feed their kids and keep a roof over their heads right now. And all the duh-uh leftist Democrats can come up with is yet another scheme and variation on how to spend MORE of Americans’ hard-earned money?

It’s positively asinine and absurd.

The fluke did not testify to congress. It was a media show set up to look like a Congressional Hearing. It wasn’t.Were it a real Republicans would have been in charge and she would not have said ridiculous things without challenge.

Could be that Fluke is the smoke screen needed to keep the good solutions coming from conservatives out of the MSM, or to keep Obama’s failures as POTUS out of view as well as his most recent dumbarse disgusting act, that of apologizing to Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan whose very own soldiers murdered American soldiers for their burning of trash in which there were copies of the Koran...which were part of other trash left by prisoners. This embarrassment acting as Commander In Chief to our Military, threw our brave soldiers under his bus. Obama is a disgrace to this nation and all we use to stand for, some still do. Obama’s disrespect for this nation is unbelievable.

I think they have badly miscalculated. It’s likely enough that a majority of people support the right to contraceptives—for others, even if they don’t use them themselves. Sure, go ahead, if you want to.

But not too many people support this fascist move to make everyone pay for other people’s contraceptives.

If you ask them, “Would you like your insurance company to pay for contraceptives?,” most people would answer, sure, why not? Another freebie.

But if you ask them, “Do you want the government to force contraceptives down everyone’s throat, and force them to pay for other people’s contraceptives and abortificients, even if it violates their religious beliefs,” then you’re not going to get a majority on that.

This whole fiasco began with the Komen/PP “controversy”. It had all been planned many moons ago. The commie ‘RATS had to do things that would piss the women off at the “evil white male” Republicans. It all worked like a charm. Barry and the ‘RATS are laughing their butts off at the stupidity of the American people.

Anyone that thinks someone is just going to be randomly picked to testify in a made up hearing is nuts. Of course, she was picked because she would offer testimony that would be attractive to liberals and progressives. She had to have credentials or she would still be an obscure law student.

"...Prior to her testimony to Congress..."

Can we put that lie to bed?

See if there's a pattern here:

"...who spoke on February 23 at a meeting of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee..." WSJ March 9

"...House Democrats convened an unofficial hearing today to hear..." ABC News Feb 23

"...House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) then arranged for Fluke to speak at an unofficial hearing..." Washington Post Mar 4

"...Fluke later testified at an unofficial Democratic-sponsored hearing..." MSNBC Mar 1

"...Sandra Fluke sat before an unofficial congressional committee..." Politics.Gather.com Mar 6

"...for her testimony at an unofficial Congressional hearing..." Wikipedia

I’ve just figured out that the fluke person may be the inspiration for Frank Zappa’s Dinah-Moe Humm........nah, I guess she’s too young.
