If Obama Were

If Obama were a negotiator, if Reid were a negotiator, then they would pull back the defunding from 33 to 11 while dropping funding from Planned Parenthood.
Then, they would divert funding from some other group into Planned Parenthood.
If only they were negotiators. Too bad for you that they aren’t.

======== breaking update:
The two parties are only apart by 5B, but the Republicons demand that Planned Parenthood and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) be defunded.
Variant: deflowered.

The Republicons won’t be satisfied until they Fuck not just the mothers of the land, but that they be permitted to fuck the land itslelf. Their new bumper sticker seen outside K Street cigar lounges:

Fuck Mother Nature, She’s Not On Birth Control NOW.

======== footnote:
How much does Planned Parenthood receive from the Federal government in funding and contracts? About 500 million dollars. The odd thing is that the first funding was initiated by Republicans in an effort to cut down on welfare. They were confident that birth control would reduce the need to fund welfare and childcare support costs. This was under President Nixon.

When You Say Reign In

When you say a bill to “reign in” the giants, do you repeat what they, the republicists said, then why not provide the direct quote. If you speak for them, do you know the basis of the trope, the cliche “reign in”.
I assume you must agree with them, that Fannie and Freddie are run away horses, running wildly or, perhaps, only aggressively out of your control. Are these companies, were these companies doing anything other than capitalism, making, as it were, use of economics commonisms that most learn in a large One Oh One classroom. They were public companies that failed. They were washed away in the republic’s tsunami. And they were taken under control by the only ship stable enough to do so, the ship of state. They were put under control of the government’s printing presses, the treasury department.
They have been under the reign of the state ever since.
But what I was asking you, dear npr reporter, was ” do you quote or do you just wholeheartedly agree” when you report? Are you a reporter, an acolyte, or just a parrot for the republicists. Please, take your time, consider your answer, take another sip of the tea before you, then answer.
