Or that we may have aborted the guy who was gonna cure cancer-hey, we
might have aborted the guy who was going to *murder* the guy who cures
cancer. But my point is, why are Republicans working so hard to cancel
funding for the 97% of the work PP does? They don't get any money for
abortions, it seems like it should be a non-issue.

You must have missed all of last December when the Repblicans were
holding things like funding to help sick 9/11first responders.
Republicans sure have not rolled over on much that I have seen. Even
when stuff the president wants to pass get through, it is hardly
because Republicans all voted in favor... Maybe a couple like Scott
Brown and Rand Paul did this week.

Even Clinton agrees that at least Ryan is trying and worries that

Really? I have to? I would give give him credit if he had offered a
good plan. Your comment seems along the lines of "we have to move this
500 lbs boulder. Ryan said we should hit it with tennis balls. You
have to give him credit for the courage of suggesting something!"
Anyone who supports privitizing healthcare really lacks an
understanding of the industry. His plan tells seniors to find their
own healthcare in a field that wants neither the sick or the old.
Stellar plan. Especially since it rolls back all the healthcare
reforms that might not make such a situation as hard.
Although I would not have agreed with the plan as good, I *would* have
been more willing to give him credit had he shown the same toughness on
defense spending. If there was ever spending that needed to be reigned
in...
