Bash asked, "Will you defund Planned Parenthood?"
"This is what I mean when I say being an effective opposition party. I think being an effective opposition party means being honest with people upfront about what it is we can and cannot achieve," he said.
"But we also have to push issues where we can push issues, we have to speak truth to power," he added. "We have a president that isn't willing to listen, that isn't going to sign lots of our bills into law, we have a Senate that has a very difficult process when it comes to actually getting bills voted on, so knowing that we have those constraints, we have to operate within those constraints."

Keep in mind that we got this doofus as a result of voting. He’s in the same mold as boehner and hastert before him.
The gop and rat wings of the uniparty have figured out the secret of implementing socialism in our time. All they need to do is get the rubes to vote and can do whatever they damn well please.
Yup. It ain’t a bug, it’s a feature.
We would be far better served by...
A SHRUBBERY!
Seriously.
Reconciliation?
I fear you misunderstand. It isn’t difficult and the lickspittle knows it. He is doing what he was hired to do. Nothing more.
Be sure to vote though. Because if you don’t, the rats win! (Not that you could tell the difference)
CALL A VOTE! Lets see who is in favor of funding this abortion mill. Who is in favor of selling off baby parts, let the POTUS veto it! Stand for something, anything. This is bull$hit!
They are ALL to busy smoking in their offices to get a DAMN thing done!!!!
Weasel words spoken by an Establishment weasel.
What, Obama is going to shut down the government over THIS? A subject about which there is no indication he has ever spent 2 seconds thinking about and the last public “explanation” was 7 years ago when he said “it’s is above my pay grade.”?
Sounds like more “finding a way to give the Democrats what they want” which is what the Republicans in the House are totally dedicated to.
The same question a lot of folks are asking, including yours truly. Nothing we can do about it now. But we can avoid the making the same mistake next time.
I intend to be very busy in November 2016. And not even one minute will be spent voting. Fool me twice, shame on me. And I’ve been fooled into voting a lot more than twice.
The only improvement will be he at least won’t cry while he’s screwing us.
Gee, that didn’t take long.
I knew he was as bad, or worse, than Bonehead.
SStinkDD.
FUPR!
A SHRUBBERY? I don’t aim that high.
My aspiration is to have the speakership filled by the coconut shells. It would be a great trade. For us.
Naah. Not stupid. Evil. Just like their ‘rat cohorts. The incompetence explanation has worn itself out.
Voting is a counterproductive exercise.
Well we already have the “Knights who say “Yes Lord Obama, whatever liberalism you Desire In the GOP Name” so I figure Shrubbery is in keeping with that grand design.
“We have to operate within these constraints.”
Ryan waves the white flag before even starting. He’ll go far in the establishment.
