So a budget issue regarding public funds for abortion is the functional equivalent of bombing civilians????

I know Holmes-Norton is liberal, but, is she really trying to equate budget matters with actual life and death, actual terrorist attacks????????

Is she so beholden to her liberal ideology that her mind shuts down, and she says idiotic things like she said about abortion funding in the budget??????

[Siena Dreaming]

Norton is just flailing around because all the attention of the country is now focused on her district.

Turns out this whole battle now comes down to one issue...federal money for abortion in DC...and as the Dems scurry away into their dark corners it is becoming clearer even in the media.

Will Obama shut down the Gov't for the "heroic" cause of keep funds flowing for abortion in DC? Don't think so.

[Emmett McCarthy]

She has no mind to shut down. She is a reflection of her constituents who are some of the dumbest people on the planet - DC residents.
