that Republicans not only hate abortion, but they also hate the poor. So it does no good to point out how their extremism hurts the poor — they’re fine with that. It’s just become more acceptable among Republicans in the last several years to be open about their hate for the poor.
It’s been amazingly transparent since the ’10 election how they’re willing to write off over 50% of our population in pursuit of their anti-women ideology. It hasn’t been too long since they, at least, maintained their animosity toward women, their rights, their intelligence, their rise in comparitive power, their sexuality to a pseudo-caring paternalism. Now those old white men are really on a tear. Eg: girls who receive immunization against an STD will just, naturally, become “harlots” (TX); better to let them die of cervical cancer.
All goes back to that good ol’ Good Book. And their fear of losing control. If they only knew they could get the same sensation from riding a Harley.
and the idea of letting the uninsured die. Pro-life is a relative term, I guess.
if we cut taxes!

Having trashed her in the past, I’m coming back around. It started with her obvious testiness toward Republican obstructionism voiced in her recent telephone town hall. She seemed genuinely pissed. It’s about time she and other Dems woke up and started smacking back. Now: keep smacking.
Legislators have strengths and weaknesses. Obviously, DeGette has fewer, far fewer, town hall type events when out of session. But, last week I watched on C-Span part of a committee hearing where the oil industry and R congressionals were trying to dismantly EPA regs. At a quiet, but key part, of the hearing, DeGette expressed reservations about accepting documents as part of the record. She argued forcefully, supported by Waxman.
We need DeGette
Keeping an eye on the extractive industries is another of DeGette’s strengths; she’s not just about abortion and stem cell.
You should see her in “Gasland.”
She and the Rep from New York have been working for years to get O&G to be accountable for what they are using to frack wells. The woman deserves a medal for tenacity.
Diana DeGette may not be the most social of our Colorado Democratic delegation (as others have complained here a couple of times) but she is as sharp and hard-working as they come. Diana is one of the people in Congress most responsible for consistently defending the rights of women — half of our US population. She is not afraid to take on anyone, and has a clear moral compass. Her record shows compassion for people from all walks of life, as well as a commitment to the planet. Look at her record — from a populist standpoint — nearly perfect. http://projects.washingtonpost…
The fact that Diana DeGette does not spend all her time tooting her own horn and smiling for the cameras, is a feather in her cap, not a liability. On policy, Diana DeGette is a rock star. We need DeGette. We MUST retain DeGette.
we must also recognize and encourage our representatives when they step out and join the parade.
I’ve also noticed a (slight) change in the tone of senators Udall and Bennet. Here’s hoping. Let them know: we expect fighters. We expect them to tutor the electorate (Yeah, like the media is going to step up and do their duty?). We expect them (at this point) to quit their nitpicking and support the President’s jobs bill. And we expect them to help get Colorado’s citizens on board. Their jobs aren’t limited to voting; their jobs include twisting arms in the hallways in Washington, confronting know-nothing (and self-interesed) editorial boards and speaking out to all Coloradans with Democratic conviction.
As we wake up and energize ourselves, we have to wake them up and energize them. DeGette seems to be headed the right direction.
criminalize womens health care don’t have any comment on this latest attempt to destroy a womans right medical care. Pro-life is an oxymoron with these cultists.
For Gucci loafer wearing DC lawyers with connections to the committee staff.
because women without access to preventive medical care are going to end up at the ER.
To tend to the womens’ health providers and their staffs who are targeted by these loonies who think bombs, mahem and murder –murder! — are part of their democratic arsenal to further their puny “religion”-based agenda.
Can you spell “scum”?

Please tell me you made that one up, Daft.
