Collins, Murkowski: We Sunk Skinny Repeal to Protect Planned Parenthood
Townhall ^ | August 7, 2017 | Cortney O'Brien

Two of the senators who singlehandedly derailed the skinny repeal of Obamacare were awarded a sit down interview with the admiring Dana Bash Friday on CNN. The bright faced journalist applauded Sens. Susan Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK) for having the “cajones” to vote against the Republican bill when they knew half the country would view them as heretics.

Collins admitted it was an “uncomfortable” vote. But, they both insisted it was the right thing to do, which is why they did not fear backlash from GOP leadership, or even intimidating tweets from the Oval Office.

Both women said they were voting for their constituents, not the Republican Party...

Collins and Murkowski have a point: dead babies cannot vote against them.

B*tches Collins and Murkowski just can't get enough of that 'chopped up aborted baby body parts for sale' thing. Maybe they're getting a CUT of the profits from PP?

If Collins lost her seat it would likely be filled by a Democrat, but Murkowski is a different matter. She should be primaried.

Hey GOP,
This is why I don’t send money to the party at large any more.

Shove it, you lovers of infanticide.

The black population of the USA is half of what it could be sans welfare and Planned Parenthood. Methinks God has an unpleasant surprise in store for these two racist murderers.

“Cajones” means large boxes or crates or dresser drawers. They were probably congratulating themselves on having “cojones,” which means, of course, b*lls.

But actually, they were congratulating themselves on being pro-death.

The skinny repeal would not have killed PP funding you lying bitches.
It should have of course but didn’t.

So. How is Collins any different from a Democrat? Has she ever voted with us?
