You go Paul Ryan on MSNBC now .... Doubling down on the war on women's rights.

Keep talking son please keep talking.

BTW thanx Paul (aka Eddie Munster) for telling me that the right for
a women to get contraceptives through her health insurance is attack
on the first amendment and rights granted to us by "our creator."

He just dropped a "trampling on our Constitutional rights*."



Republicans are going to get their asses kicked this fall if they keep up w/ this nonsense.


* Settled law. Griswold v Connecticut 1965

Hilarious oxymorons aside, I sure hope this does represent the right's best-and-brightest. We'll have smooth sailing as long as chumps like Ryan are popular in the GOP.

3. Doubling Down For A Reason

I still believe that the GOP doubles down because they feel they have the elections fixed already. If you deny the vote to everyone except christians and republicans it does not matter who you run. They are depending on billions of dollars to buy the election.

The religious wedge issue works for them in their view. They are asking for a religious civil war.

6. I doubt they recognize Griswold v Connecticut as valid

Supreme Court decisions they don't like are invalid and unconstitutional, the result of commiepinkolibruls "legislating from the bench." They likely have four justices eager to overturn Griswold and who knows what else. Justice Kennedy may or may not side with them.
