So the House Republicans will have Americans believe that the final showdown before a possbile GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN comes down to the American WOMAN’S VAGINA, their highly EVOLVED REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.
REALLY, What is the GOP’S obsession with women’s VAGINAS? Do they really hate their mothers that much for having the UNIQUE POWER to birth their rotten SOULS? Their mothers are WOMEN, afterall and are their cradle of CIVILIZATION. Do the GOP prefer spending a GAZILLION $$$$$$ on WAR and cut funding for PLANNNED PARENTHOOD, in the LAMEST lie ever to help balance America’s federal budget?
“This is about a package,” Schmidt said. “We can’t tell you what we’re going to do until we see the next package. What the Senate is doing is deflecting the real issue and the real issue is to cut the unnecessary spending in Washington, period. And you can continue to ask the question but the answer is cutting unnecessary spending in Washington.”
3 Chics has been asking why Republican women have not been speaking out about these WHITE men attacking our BODIES, and going after planned parenthood programs and abortions.
Republican WOMEN tell the press our VAGINAS are a FUCKING PACKAGE!
Really, Jean! Women’s reproductive health is UNNECESSARY? What a self-loathing bitch!
Democratic Reps have their say:
The Last Word, Rewrite – Planned Parenthood
What say you 3 Chics community?
How Obama Beat The Republicans At Government Shutdown Chicken
http://www.politicususa.com/en/obama-republican-shutdown
The right started trying to spin their last second backing off of a government shutdown last night as victory, but this could not be any further from reality. The GOP controlled House passed a bill that called for $60 billion in cuts, but they only got $38 billion. The Republicans also had to drop every single budget rider relating to the EPA, the funding of NPR and Planned Parenthood. They got nothing.
Over at National Review, they are only focusing on the size of the budget cut in order to proclaim Boehner victorious,
Boehner might need a few Democratic votes to pass the deal — that was always a likely outcome. But the narrative constantly pushed by Democrats and the media — that “extreme” Tea Party members would force him to shut down the government — never materialized. As a result, not only does it look like Boehner got the best deal in terms of spending cuts, but he also comes off as the most reasonable actor in the debate, the one who worked the hardest to reach a compromise.
Republicans should feel plenty confident heading into the upcoming debates over the debt ceiling and the 2012 budget. This deal, thanks to Boehner’s robust leadership, was a good start. But it’s only the beginning.
Boehner won big? Really? Let’s see, he ended up settling for a number that was originally negotiated over two weeks ago. In all these additional days of negotiations, he gained nothing. The $38 billion in cuts he did here are peanuts in budgetary terms. The President’s 2012 federal budget proposal is $3.7 trillion dollars, so Boehner managed to shave off 1/100th of the federal budget. The cuts are chump change that amount to throwing an ice-cube into the ocean.
Politically Boehner and the House Republican leadership became big losers when they agreed to drop all of the funding and regulatory riders involving the EPA, Planned Parenthood, and NPR from the bill. The Tea Party and social conservatives brought up the funding for Planned Parenthood as a way to further their crusade against abortion, an issue which is the lifeblood of much of conservative activism, but Boehner and the GOP leadership had no problem with throwing them under the bus.
Let’s take a second and recap what John Boehner has actually won. He didn’t get the $61 billion in budget cuts that the House passed. He sold out much of the base of his party by dropping the riders, and his leadership only served to further alienate those on the right who wanted to make a stand by shutting the federal government down.
Politics aside, Boehner did the right thing for the country by negotiating this deal. Millions of Americans were going to be hurt by a shutdown, including those in the military. Budgetary principles and Planned Parenthood aren’t worth shutting the government down for.
Boehner knew that his party would be blamed if the government shutdown. He and the House leadership were aware that this was a battle they couldn’t win, so they got the best deal that they could and got out of Dodge. It was a smart move, but within his own party, this agreement will be a political disaster for Boehner. All he managed to do was expand the divide between the Tea Party, social conservatives, and the Republican leadership.
Obama was able to defeat the Republicans on this one, by exploiting the split between Boehner and the Tea Party. The truth is that Boehner and the Obama White House had a common goal of avoiding a government shutdown.
The fly in the ointment was the far right-wing of the Republican Party, which desperately wanted a shutdown. Those people are John Boehner’s headache, and probably the reason why he drinks.

MUST BE ONE HECK OF A WALGREENS…. The budget fight, at least the current one, is just about over, but Fox News has a few more shots to take at Planned Parenthood and the White House as the dust settles.
On yesterday’s episode of “Fox & Friends,” viewers saw this exchange:
Steve Doocy: [President Obama] was talking about Planned Parenthood being this great provider where women can get blood pressure checks and pap smears and breast examinations…
Brian Kilmeade: Which you can get at Walgreens.
Steve Doocy: Exactly right.
Seriously, that’s what they said. There’s video proof.
I went ahead and did a little research on this, and while Walgreen’s press office wasn’t available last night, my cursory review suggests there isn’t a Walgreens in the known universe that offers pap smears and mammograms to its customers. The very idea is … what’s the word I’m looking for … crazy.
Honestly, does the cast of “Fox & Friends” even know what pap smears are? For that matter, do they know drugstores do?
To be sure, I understand the point of their claims. Republicans, like their cable news network, would like the public to believe the preventative health services provided by Planned Parenthood aren’t especially necessary or worthy of funding, since they’re readily available everywhere — as if every block in America has a Starbucks, an ATM, and screenings for cervical cancer.
Except, that’s ridiculous, Fox News lying about it, ironically, only helps underscore the value of Planned Parenthood clinics.

LYING LIARS
MSNBC: Lawrence O’Donnell reported the Tea Party stated they will primary John Boehner because he sold them out. ***snicker***
Kick pointed rocks, Republican Tea Party!
Thanks for adding the Last Word video, SG2!
Black women have NEVER taken their *shit.” We may pretend to go along with the game, but when pushed, we push back. Always have.
Most white women are taught to keep their mouth shuts and go along. It takes a LOT of strength and courage to move away from their clan. They risk losing EVERYTHING, so yes, it’s not surprising that good little Christian, Conservative, family-values spouting, antidepressant-taking Republican women are…SILENT.
The cost of dissent is too high.
Unfortunately, like many middle-aged white women who wake up after 20+ years of marriage and find he’s left for the intern, these women will be SHOCKED and HORRIFIED that they too, got screwed.
Their loyalty to this bullshit will NOT be returned.
Those of us with the strength, courage and will must take up where they won’t. Those of us with a backbone can’t sit this one out.
Speak on it, Lisa! Tell it, why don’t you!

Shame on you, republican women!
While I stand behind my comment, I should NOT have made a joke about taking anti-depressants. Mental illness is serious business and I should have chosen my words more carefully.
I apologize for any offense.
No problems, lisaM, we understand.
What’s up, John Boehner?

BWA HA HA HA HA
PBO laid the smackdown on Boehner last night when he told Boehner there would be no defunding of planned parenthood. Boehner is so drunk right now that he would have to defy the laws of gravity just to stand up.
LOL Boehner and nem knew damn well the Dems were never going to sign on to that bullshit in the first place. It’s what they do, go after our beliefs and rights, to create chaos & confusion. And then retreat when they’re given a ROYAL BEATDOWN
Breaking News
Deal reached. Shutdown averted.
It’s so evel what the GOP has done. they used women’s rights as a BARGAINING chip, our reproductive rights to get what? Nothing, they got nothing $38 billion? It was just more grandstanding for the teabaggers.
Isn’t this a got damn shame? Thugs willing to shut down the government if they can’t get to control a woman’s vagina. Phuck them. Take away from my uterus, mofos!
Really, Jean! Women’s reproductive health is UNNECESSARY? What a self-loathing bitch!
Seconded!
It’s all about the PACKAGE! WTF?!! They chose that Jean lady to spew that nonsense about about package. How crazy, these women have health care, their children and grandchilde have healthcare. It’s like they live in their own universe, nothing matters but the “PACKAGE.” GTFOHWTLAFBS
Sadly, there is not enough alcohol in my house to convince me this BS isn’t really happening.
Services for the most vulnerable among us is “unnecessary spending”?
Gotta give the wench credit for stickin’ to the party line with such fervor. Does she really believe this “package” is about cutting unnecessary spending in Washington?
How do these people sleep at night? (Never mind. Plenty of booze & pills, no doubt, to numb their own stupidity.)
What’s unnecessary are the tax dollars I pay for their effin salaries. Send these Stepford Wives packing!
I hope the women of America wake the hell up. Stop worrying about the length of your eyelashes or the new gray hair or wrinkle that showed up. There is work to be done. If they de-fund healthcare services for those at most risk, do you really think they won’t come after your cushy middle-class a**?
Thank you, 3 Chics!
What’s so shocking is the deafening silence of republican women. WTF is up w/ them?
They are stuck on “STEPFORD” Look at the way they dress, wear their hair, their jewlry, IT’S ALL THE SAME. Manufactured puppets to do the man’s bidding. SMGDH Why do think they despise Black women? We don’t take that shit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3HASgMS7w0
Hi Lisa. RIGHT ON! You nailed it. Those GOP women are Stepford wives, spewing the vile scripts of these EVIL, impotent men.
I’m concerned about my daughters and their future children. I’m concerned for my own health. I was charged for two mamograms last year, the second being a follow up due to the first results showing a suspicious shadow.
We must fight these power hungry MONSTERS!
