NO GOVERNMENT MONEY IS SPENT ON ABORTION!

I'm watching CNN and I just want to make a few points, such as this nonsense about government funds going to pay for abortions.  But first, I want to address something Jesse Ventura said on The View the other day.

Ventura claimed that the House passed a "No Budget, No Pay" bill and the Senate won't sign it.  OK, well as usual, that's only half of the truth.  The version of the NBNP bill the House paid is attached to the temporary CR budget bill that also wants to strip funding to Planned Parenthood, Public Broadcasting, and stripping power from the EPA.

Now, if REPUBLICANS were serious about a NBNP bill, they would sign the one THE SENATE PASSED A MONTH AGO that is a clean bill.  Did you check the link?  That's right, I found that out at FOX, the news bible of the conservatives.

So Boehner, quit playing games.

Planned Parenthood

This has been addressed in the simplest of terms by hundreds of people in hundreds of ways.  NO ABORTIONS ARE PAID FOR WITH FEDERAL FUNDING.  This law is so stringent PP has to provide documentation showing where every federal dollar is spent, and where the money comes from that does go to the abortion portion of their services.

The funding you are insisting on cutting is for the women's health care portion of the clinic.  Prenatal care, mammograms, pelvic exams, cancer screenings, and family planning counseling.  Essentially you are wanting to cut funds to poor and middle class women's health care needs.

You may be fooling those that are too stupid or too lazy to find out the facts, but you aren't fooling the rest of us.  Not only liberal voters are aware of the details, more and more conservative voters are asking more questions.  We aren't the lazy, ignorant peasants you think we are.

About the EPA

I really don't know why you think they're "out of control", but in my view they are finally doing their jobs again.  In 2005 former POTUS Bush stripped their powers, which in turn stripped the land around me in order to give oil companies a broader range of freedom in drilling.  This broader, EPA strangled drilling allowed the local drillers to destroy ponds and streams in my area because it didn't matter if the newly drilled wells seeped into the water here. 

Sure, we need oil, but not at the expense of the environment or the people in the area.  I don't view the EPA as out of control like you do, I see them as protecting my home again.

Pass a CLEAN CR

Pass a bill that deals SOLELY with budgetary numbers, don't add riders that are insane then blame the Democrats for failing to pass it.  We're watching, and we know just like last year, you are to blame.  You need to smooth out your resumes, you're going to be job hunting in 2012.  The Democrats moved closer to what the Republicans' wanted by 70%, get off your high horses and move the other 30%.
