Call your senators, tell them to stand with Rand and Ted and kill funding to planned parenthood. This is important. This needs to be pushed, hard.

[Husker24]

Why in the he’ll haven’t they been using Rule 14 all along?

[Norm Lenhart]

Because...Liberals.

[TBP]

Ditch will make sure it fails.

[z taxman]

No excuse not to fight.

[PGalt]

HOORAY Rand Paul.

[hoosiermama]

Paul and Cruz tag teaming. Woo Goo!

[MuttTheHoople]

Mitch will save the day for the baby-killers.

This makes no sense. I didn’t think anybody BUT McConnel could invoke rule 14. Then there was an earlier article that said it was McConnel that DID invoke the rule to fast track Rand Paul’s legislation to defund PP.

I’ll try to find the article, and post the link.

Link to article stating it was McConnel, not Rand Paul invoking rule 14 to fast track defunding of PP.

From the Breitbart article:

“While a standalone bill to defund Planned Parenthood is snaking its way through the Senate Rule 14 process, it’s not because McConnell put it there—Senate sources tell Breitbart News it’s because Sen. Paul put it there and McConnell had nothing to do with it.

What actually happened is Paul filed a new bill to defund Planned Parenthood under Senate Rule 14 which places a bill immediately on the calendar.
Senate rules require McConnell to then read Senator Paul’s maneuver on the bill into the record before adjourning for the day—
it’s not as if McConnell did so by choice.”

Thanks. Makes sense now.

Who is that in the middle?

[snuffy smiff]

Doesn’t much matter. If by any chance it passes, the jug-eared scumbag will just veto it.

[samtheman]

I don’t like Rand Paul but I give him credit for being on the right side of this issue.

[z taxman]

If he does so be it. We must still fight and make this as important an issue as illegal immigration. Were fighting for the future, regardless of whatever small momentary victory Obama may be able to pull off. Support Paul and Cruz.

Can someone tell me how the heck Mitch became the majority leader? Might as well have Harry Reid....so sad.

Tie it to the upcoming debt ceiling or massive Gov't budget approval - and shut down the government until it passes.

It WILL win.

This is an issue that should shut everything down. This must not stand. Planned Parenthood and their Mengele body parts auction must cease to exist.

[Rome2000]

Sounds serious if they are using Rule 14.

That’s worse than going full retard.
