    ACA is far from perfect, but just think if instead of spending 5 years trying to fight it in congress, just think if Republicans had said.. Hey let's help fix it.

    nope they won't do that, it's much easy to create fake outrage about how socialist Obama is. For daring to "try" and create a working healthcare system in this country that is affordable for most..

    Maybe instead of bitching and whining , Republicans should get off their asses and try to help solve the problems, instead of creating more.

      It's pretty simple - pay for it now or pay for it later. Young women who do not have medical benefits who need medical assistance have some place to go. This organization, partially funded by the governments, helps people in need.

      We shouldn't be discussing not funding Planned Parenthood, but instead we should be asking why there isn't another organization for young men to provide medical assistance when needed.

      They REFER women to a doctor to get a mammogram. Planned Parenthood doesn't do those.
      In other words...most women would simply ask their own gynecologist who to see OR do search for facilities that do mammograms. BUT...some women do go to Planned Parenthood under the mistaken idea that they do them, then they get sent to a place that actually DOES it.

      And yes...they still have to use their ObamaCare to pay for it.

      Bottom line is...is Planned Parenthood a "good" thing. Yeah, I think so.
      Truth be told, being as I am not a young women in need of medical assistance, I did not know much about Planned Parenthood. So I googled them. I ended up on Wikipedia, which at one point earlier in this thread I quoted word for word when I mentioned their services.

      Your comments are strictly from the Republican political side of things, in reference to comments Obama made in a debate some time ago and was fact checked. You are correct, they refer people out to other doctors for mammograms. However, Planned Parenthood helps women pay for mammograms and in some cases cover the costs for them.

      But Planned Parenthood does a lot of other things. According to their site, they do 400k pap smears a year, and nearly five million medical tests for STDs and HIV.

      Great, let's stop funding all of the nonsense. We should stop all kinds of welfare and social services. I mean, according to you, all of us should be "responsible" and there is no need for the federal or state governments to be providing housing, green stamps, WIC, etc....

      Robbie, I don't know you well, but.... I spent my entire weekend working two large charity events I have been a part of for the past few years. Some times people need help. While I have concerns about entire families being raised on welfare and living in section eight housing, sometimes people need short term help. Our government is here to support us, and support those in need; If we can afford to give billions and billions of dollars to other countries surely we can afford $500 million a year for medical support for those in need.

In fact, I can remember Robbie and a few other far right radicals here on GFY tell everyone how the govt shut down was Obama's fault and generally how anytime he' couldn't come to agreement with Republicans it was his fault.. (It's never a 2 way street, Republicans have no blame in Robbie's world only Obama, Obama)
          Oh, it's very clear that the Republican party is having huge problems. They themselves know they need to court two demographics - women and Hispanics. Instead, their front runner has completely pissed off both groups. I mean, what kind of candidate says "Mexcians are rapists"?

            Imagine if they just did their jobs instead of courting specific groups while purposely alienating other groups.

            Of course if they just did that, they would never get support from the Atta boy conservatives who just want them to complain about Obama..

Planned Parenthood helps young mothers make educated decisions, and help with breast and cervical cancer screening, HIV screening and counseling,and contraception.

              Why would anyone want to shut down that down or not fund them?
              YOU, sir, are well read.

              Robby I don't know if what you said above is true, but for the moment let's just say that it is. The screening and costs associated with the care they give is very high and unaffordable for most people. *Of course* the government should pay for it.

              Yes the debt is high at 18 Trillion but managing the debt, just like managing your personal or commercial debt, needs to be done very carefully, and not at the cost of human lives.

                Im not a fan of any of these politicians!!

                I got $100 saying that this clown is resigning because some tranny or dude he banged is about to drop a bomb on his political career.

                There is nothing I love more that watching these "Telling us how to live" politicians getting caught doing that very thing they are against.

                Love shit like this:

                    Not every person who is a radical right wingers is running around playing GiJoe with his local militia preparing for when Obama sends FEMA to put them in camps and take away their guns..

                    Radical Right or left is also a person's views.. Example Ted Cruze is one of the Radical Right members in Congress. Sure he is t crazy on every issue, but yes he certainly is on quite a few..

                    The entire Benghazi ordeal, the non stop trying to do away with Obamacare.. The fake outrage because Hillary used her own mail server.. The denial of global warming ect..ect..This is all the mindset of radical right wingers.

                    Robbie is one of the first in line to jump on the bandwagon of every new right wing outrage.


                    Example of radical left wingers would be the people who want to ban all guns or groups like peta.

                    Obviously you don't have to run around the woods naked saving trees or throw paint on woman in fur coats to have radical left wing views.. Just the same as you don't have to be some anti govt loon wearing camouflage and carrying a m16 to be a radical right wing views

                    The diffrence of the two, is the radical right wing views have become mainstream within the Republican Party and their so called independent fan boys.. You don't see the same radicalization of the left.
                    Radical is a nice way to say "extreme" - it is defined in the political world as someone who supports extreme political views. I don't see you as extreme, but perhaps some would.

                    "An average 43% of Americans identified politically as independents in 2014, establishing a new high in Gallup telephone poll trends back to 1988. In terms of national identification with the two major parties, Democrats continued to hold a modest edge over Republicans, 30% to 26%."

                    So the extremes in the dem party support, perhaps, jailing or even execution of the rich assholes who collapsed the financial system. Others say that there can't be such a thing as racism against white people, failing to understand that that statement in itself is in fact racism. Another may (and did) advocate Barack Obama having a 3rd term against constitutional law. Sometimes extreme is stupid, sometimes just dangerous.

                    Provocateurs are not extreme, they just say they are. Most extreme people on the internet are provocateurs, rather than true believers.

                    Robbie is not extreme. He is not even a middle of the road republican. He is not a radical republican in his actions, his words, or, I suspect, his thoughts. Although I'm trying to imagine what Robbie thinks and it is not a healthy exercise - I don't recommend it.

                    Most of us are independants; some like me who tend to support dems, some who want the system to stay locked so neither party can implement its nightmare visions of dystopian society. I'd tend to put Robbie there, in the right leaning independent section.

                    Enough channeling the grand Paul Markham - wall of text over.

                      This is what blows my mind.... Why are we even having this conversation? Why is the Republican party pushing this agenda? For the love of all things holy, why is the Republican party even considering our government down for any reason no less about not funding a charity organization for all of the wrong reasons.

                              You know this is whats up.


                              Why give up politics?? Get paid for doing nothing!! Literally do nothing besides get paid by special interests groups to vote . you don't even need to think. Just vote the way you get bribed.


                              So when any of these dicks resign, there is more to it.

                              Resign from a job that you make a shit ton in bribes? Or donations to "your Charity" that you get to keep 80% of?


                              Dirt is coming, just watch!!!

                                The funny thing is you rail against the guy who really is a full blown RINO and gave almost everything the Dems and Obama wanted. Its the reason he was about to get vacated in session by a vote in Oct, and resigned to save face.

                                Kevin McCarthy is a California RINO as well, so very likely will be the guy you should cheer for, as he will give you most of what the Dems want. He likely will have to cow towards the right more or risk himself getting vacated in the same manner.

                                Daniel Webster is a moderate conservative, but an actual Republican at least. So that is my choice of the two. And probably as far right a Speaker can go right now and be elected by the body.
