Geo W Bush's $2.2 Billion Gift To Planned Parenthood (daughter pro-PP, too)
World Net Daily ^ | October 29, 2008 | John Lofton

Exclusive: John Lofton takes Focus on the Family to task for thanking president

So, President Bush throws $2.2 billion down the Planned Parenthood rathole and I’m supposed to thank him for not wasting the federal tax dollars of pro-life taxpayers?

Well, yes, that’s what the folks at Focus On The Family want me and others to do.

The October 2008 issue of Citizen magazine has a full-page article with the headline: “Thanks, Mr. President.” A smaller headline reads: “Pro-life taxpayers can thank President Bush for keeping their dollars from being misspent.”

But, there’s a slight problem here that keeps me from thanking Mr. Bush: during his term in office he approved giving Planned Parenthood at least $2.2 billion in federal tax dollars! Is this money that has been “misspent”? Hmmmm, I’d say “yes.”

So, where do I get the $2.2 billion? From Jim Sedlak of the American Life League, an expert on Planned Parenthood and its federal funding. In an interview, Jim tells me the Bush administration has indeed “extensively” funded Planned Parenthood, the total amount of federal funding being at least $2.2 billion.

In Bush’s first year, he approved $202 million for PP; in the last year of reporting (2006), Bush gave PP $337 million – a single year funding increase of 67 percent.

Sedlak notes that in 2006, PP showed a $114 million profit so did not need federal funding. And “yes, certainly,” Jim says, every federal tax dollar given PP frees up one of its other dollars to pay for abortions.

“And there are dollars that go into Planned Parenthood, especially state dollars, that pay for abortions. There are Medicaid programs, for example, that actually pay for abortions in some of the states. So some of this [federal] money goes directly to abortions.”

I’m not excusing any of them, except Bush made a point of his being “born again” and being against abortion. He lied.

Also, please look into tea party candidate Karen Handel’s dealings with Rove in the Susan G Komen Planned Parenthood scandal. Unfortunately, her book Planned Bullyhood came out on Sept 11 2012, same day as Benghazi.

Lord help me, when I saw Alan Colmes was married to a woman named Crowley, I shuddered a little and wondered about his age at death: 66.

IOW, Bush’s pal Rove was in on Planned Parenthood’s money stream, as per Karen Handel.

Everyday we’re reading about the billions being donated to the PP baby killers. Why the hell do they need taxpayer dollars? The PP baby killers need to be defunded. It seems to have a huge donor base. Let them handle it.

Some have said this is a luciferian organization; which presupposes the idea that you make Christian/Jewish “suckers” pay you to break the commandments. I can’t remember the name of the word for it, but it is sort of like causing a conflict and then making your chosen enemy pay for the conflict.

Or, you could just settle on the fact that Planned Parenthood is metaphorically a “modern Molech” doing child sacrifice.

The Bushes did more damage to the Republican brand than any Democrat. Starting with George H.W. Bush being handed a strong Reagan coalition which he promptly trashed; “Read my lips. No new taxes.” Then he promptly caves to the D’s and raises taxes. Credibility: gone for two elections.

George W. Bush created a new entitlement (Medicare prescription drug plans) and then bungled Iraq to the point it was easy for Obama to give it away.

Jesse Jackson got one thing right: “Stay out da’ bushes.”

Yes. She’s the sister of Monica Crowley whom she resembles. Those two look nothing like ol’ Bar or the Wickedness Man in the World.
