The GOP Objects To 40 Democratic Women Inserting Their Remarks Into The Record.

Those uppity females in Congress. Who do they think they are, trying to participate in our democracy on one of the biggest bills in front of Congress?
Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), one of the GOP's minions, continues the Joe Wilsonification of Congress to prevent discussion over Stupak's amendment, one that may actually lead to effectively a ban on abortion for low income women:
“The real goal of abortion opponents isn't to maintain the status quo. It's to extend federal prohibitions into private pocketbooks. By restricting coverage offered through the exchange, they hope to make abortion coverage so unattractive that insurers eventually stop offering it in the market for individual and small-group policies.”
And they don't even want us to discuss it. Those white men of the GOP don't want women to insert their remarks into the record.
How dare they? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Party of No:

"We don't need no stinkin' women in this debate."
As Jerry Lewis said as Professor Kelp, "I must have hit on genetics." It is what causes a rethug to have mental illness.
on the CBC, in 1994...

It occur to anyone that the inclusion of this amendment, aside from the obvious derailing effect when the bill is voted on, but IF the bill is passed and signed into law, banning federal support for a legal procedure could be grounds for the bill's constitutionality to be challenged in court?
even without this amendment.
The Senate is much more progressive on this issue but the outrage is that House repubs and some dem's would actually let an end run on Roe v. Wade come to the floor...But it will be useful clips for the 2010 elections against all who vote for it. If it goes thru there will be a constitutional challenge!
Call them and remind them that we can take their seat and their Viagra...The old coots...1.800.828.0498
As to the women --they are accustomed to this BS!
WTF is the matter with the speaker? Objections have to have merit to be heard. These started before any substantive discussion was in play. What a shameful display from Congress and I hope this goes viral.

They just want these women to STFU.
The GOP has lost it's mind.
What will we tell the children?
Why can't they arrest those out of order assholes?
Could that be Michele Bachmann in the background objecting before anything is even said? I'm as irritated with the Dems over this as the Repubs. What is stopping them from objecting to the objections or asking for a ruling on a point of order? Why don't they have the balls to turn it back on the idiots and ask them what exactly they're objecting to (the phrase 'Mr. Speaker?') since they haven't even been allowed to speak before the objections started? Why are we such wimps?
He'd clean their clocks. The clocks would still be broken, set for the 1950's, but no one can fix that.
Ms. Bachmann would like the speaker to know that she personally objects to being allowed to participate in the democratic process at all and demands that her vote be taken away and that she be summarily sent home to bake cookies and darn socks.
Darn you...darn you to heck...
dab nag it ysb! wait...dag nab it?
dang it, darn this damned diddly danged dumb dunder dab..
penis.
Ladies and Gentlemen,

"...they hope to make abortion coverage so unattractive ..."
The words are "Too Expensive". Abortion is already unattractive to women, despite what anti-choicer's believe. Getting an abortion isn't like going to a Baskin Robert's shop.
Have you tasted the Tutti-Frutti?
and learned that licking does not lead to unwanted or unplanned events.
We have Baskin-Robbins (ice cream) in our state. But is there also a Baskin Roberts out there that sells something else? Just wondering.
Back Eshoo...
I prefer the anchovy chip.
YS, I didn't know you were a blind man.
was of the "attractiveness" issue. It's hard to pass by a Baskin Robbins, or Double Rainbow. But I am sure it even harder to have an abortion. The procedure isn't done for yuks, or even convenience. If I get German Measles in my first trimester, I am not happy and cheerful about what must be done. Women having late-term abortions are already suffering mentally and physically, they don't need some cretinous MAN, be he Bishop or Terrorist Gunman, tell them they are murders of their own child.
Stupid and Evil are fraternal twins.
people have ever considered the possibility that women who had guaranteed healthcare for their children, as well as for themselves, would be less likely to abort. One less thing to consider for a worried pre-parent.
Just a thought.
I wonder how they would like it if an appropriations bill was introduced, and we immediately started passing amendments to allow people to opt out of allowing their taxes to be used in war?
Media continue to misrepresent abortion provisions in health reform bill
The M$M SUX!
"Stifle dingbats!"
Can't the speaker turn off the microphone of these objectors.
Let the person who has the floor at least state their case before the objector get a mic.
Dingell's response "now, now, all this fuss is not very helpful," etc, reminds me of a timid, tired grandpa trying to reason with a two-year-old in full tantrum mode. Have Dems forgotten that the majority is on their side? That most Americans want reform and support a public option? Whose feelings are they trying to protect? The walking tantrum Tea Baggers? The minority 'squeaky wheel' getting the grease is not what democracy is supposed to be about.
What the hell is wrong with Dingall? More namby-pamby Democratic wimpiness in the face of GOP bullying.
and the Catholic Bishops (who don't pay any taxes), and the crazys who might just shoot them (Reps) down like Dr. Tiller.
And that Big Fat Idiot, Rush Limbaugh.
Plus they are wimps.
I was embarrassed for the assholes who kept objecting before they even had anything to object to. Sounded like whiney little kindergartners who didn't want to eat their fucking vegetables!
from the chamber?" Oh, to quote Brian Wilson, "Wouldn't It Be Nice?"
Dennis.
no music, just vocals...

I suggest you cut this and place a bunch of TV and movie clips of random women being slapped around. Say every time we here I object it cuts to a woman being slapped. Because that what this whole thing felt like.
Be a good Campaign add against the GOP.
Why don't those big babies just throw themselves on the ground,kick their feet and scream WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
What a revolting display of immaturity. I swear the GOP has the mentality of a three year old.
They want to perpetuate their cave dweller mentality, let them.
We just need to get the point across that we see the damage that these regressive policies cause. Abstinence only education anyone? What that program did is start a std epidemic.
What kind of progress will we get when women are stuffed back in the kitchen?
No progress whatsoever. I think the GOP would be just fine with women being barefoot and pregnant and keeping their damn opinions to themselves. God this stuff makes me so mad........
The party of less government is okay telling us what to do with our bodies. Paradox much?
(wow, I got through that without cussing)

Can't we just send them to abandoned mines?

Any time it's a Repigs turn to speak, "I Object, I Object". But we know 90% of Dems are toothless.
men have put on public display here. I mean, we all know that the GOP is the party of mysogeny. But here it's on full display, and performed by GOP women who are standing by their "men" in putting women down. There is something very wrong with this picture. When will GOP women, and men, stop hating women and trying to keep them out of the political debate? Women represent over one half of the public, yet these neanderthals of both sexes in the GOP would keep women, powerless, helpless, voiceless and barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, totally submissive to their men. People, we are in the 21st century and like it or not, we have women involved in politics. They should always have been part of the process but in the good old US of A the struggle for such equality of representation has had a very very tough slog of it. To all those angry old white patriarchs and their female support staff I have this to say: Women are involved in the political process and you might as well get used to it. There are some women who will not cave in to your demands for submission. And, to all you GOP women who support the men in your party in their mysogeny, why don't you focus on your uteruses and think about the power that women rightfully have to guide and politically direct this democracy. Just because you are brow beat, doesn't mean that your sisters all have to suffer the same abuse. Show some support for women for a change. Show some solidarity with the woman's voice and vote to bring some balance to the equation. No, I'm not talking about radical fanatical anti-choice women, but women, in general who have empathy and care about caring for the country and the world. I'm not talking about the hawkish women among the hawkish politically conservative men, like Michelle Bachman. They are political freaks. I'm talking about regular women who are smart, who care, who can debate the issues because they are informed and are talking from the perspective of being members of society and not beholden to special interests or far out religious or political extremes. Grow up, GOP ladies, get smart, be part of the solution and at least allow your sisters a chance to voice their concerns and participate in the democracy. You are not the men you support. Listen to your uteruses if you still have them. And even if you don't, listen to those who do. The world could be a better place as a result.
seriously
my five-yr-old is better behaved than those assholes
to own women. Look at the photos from whenever Dubya signed an anti-choice bill into law; he is always surrounded by men with no woman in sight. They want to rob us of our say about what goes on in our lives. And really it goes beyond abortion.
It's the GOP men who are the force of the Repuke misogyny, but the GOP women go along with it because they hope they'll get a little pat on the head and retain some of the freedoms this assholes want to take away from other women.
Disgusting.
"..but the GOP women go along with it because they hope they'll get a little pat on the head.."
*pat pat* Good girl toots now go git me a beer.
:P
Why do you think those that did are now Purple??
We kicked their whining asses back to their mommies.

I think the labeling of this post is wrong. Although the actions of the rethugs is childish and uncalled for this post makes it out to be just a bunch of angry white guys shouting down a bunch of women. the truth is, it was a bunch of angry white rethugs both male and female. Sorry Nicole, but I think you're making this into something it is not. Now if it the female voice shouting down these ladies was Coulter I'd agree with you that it was just a bunch men.
that the former Confederate states keep electing.
Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, you know who they are.
They often seem to hate the U.S. Federal Government, hate Americans that hold a different viewpoint and do anything to inhibit the process of our democratic institutions.
Hey, I know you hate the rest of America, but we WON that war.
btw, I know a**holes in government are not exclusive to the former Confederate states. I'm just saying they contribute WAY more than their share, most of them also take a lot more in Federal Government money than they kick in.
Hey, I know you hate the rest of America, but we WON that war.......
AND THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
Yeah, there's a black fellow in the White House, too f***ing bad for you.
"In the beginning" darkness was on the face of the deep. The story of the Creation as told in the Bible doesn't fool around. It starts right in without any preliminaries and takes care of this vast mystery in short order. Actually, in two short orders, for there are two stories of the Creation, in one of which the sun and moon and stars aren't set into the firmament until the fourth day, although God has ordered that light and darkness be separated on the first day: "God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." Gen. 1:16 Today even elementary school students know that the greater light and the lesser light are one and the same, and that night and day are the result of the earth turning on its axis.
Apparently God, for it is he, is just sitting there (or dog-paddling) in the water in the dark, when he has an impulsive urge to create a world (with all the enthusiasm displayed by someone deciding to repair a leaky roof on "an unclouded day"). Inevitably one has to wonder who or what created this god, who is assumed in Genesis to have been unimaginative enough to have spent possibly eons of time in the dark and all wet besides.
Considering its muddled time-table and naivete, the biblical Creation story might have been contrived by a child and surely must have been the product of a pen whose wielder was dismally ignorant of what the sciences of astronomy, biology, zoology, botany, and anthropology have revealed. One must actually turn to the scriptures themselves to appreciate the primitive mindlessness of this ancient Hebrew account of a firmament (heaven) on pillars, with its windows open, resting upon a body of water and supporting another body of water above. (There is not a hint of the universe as scientists have come to know it, with countless fixed stars and galaxies and planets orbiting in endless space.)
