Democrat Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Ipshit) has thought up a way to get the House health insurance reform bill passed as-is:
U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, D-N.H., is coming under fire from political rivals for some things she said at a town hall meeting in Manchester on Saturday. Shea-Porter’s office said she was trying to use some humor when she said some women in Congress believe the men are holding up health care reform. But not everyone is laughing.”We go to the ladies room, the Republican women and the Democratic women, and we just roll our eyes at what’s being said out there,” Shea-Porter said. “And the Republican women said when we were fighting over the health care bill, ‘If we sent the men home, we could get this done this weekend.'”The line was followed by laughter from the crowd, and Shea-Porter’s office said the comments were meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
I’m sure that if, say, Senator Scott Brown (R-MA), were to say something along the lines of “You want to know how to get the budget balanced and SSI privatized, send the women home.” that Ms. Shea-Porter would have absolutely no problem with that and it wouldn’t cause even a ripple in the new cycle.
Like I always say: The Democrats apparently think that if one standard is good, two must be even better!
Ann Coulter once said that if we’d take away women’s right to vote, we’d never elect another Democrat to national office.
All the links I can find go to lefty sites that I refuse to contaminate my NIC with. Perhaps Ms. Shea-Porter would care to see how that shoe fits on the other foot…
