The Thugs will spend millions of dollars telling us all how they really love women and are doing everything to show how they care for women and are doing everything to assist them.

Republican Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett is asserting that forced ultrasounds are "the way to go" if they stop women from having abortions.
Corbett had been criticized for supporting one of the most controversial ideas in this country.
Idiot Republicans say their restrictive anti-abortion bills in the country arfe good because he said that women could just "close your eyes" during the mandatory ultrasound.
Then in one short news flash they lose all their credability. Shows how really stupid they all are.
Women in this country who vote Republican this go around are Morons.

House Speaker John Boehner channelled his inner John Stossell Friday on the House floor when he sounded off on Democratic rhetoric pointing to the House GOP’s legislative agenda and finding a “war on women.”
“And now, now we are going to have a fight over women’s health,” Boehner said. “Give me a break. This is the latest plank in the so-called war on women. Entirely created, entirely created by my colleagues across the aisle for political gain.”
John Boehner thinks we have not noticed that the Thugs passed or tried to pass 973 bills in just one year... restricting the rights of women. Boehner reminds me of Newt Gingrich... if you just pound the table and yell louder you will distract the peons and they will not notice what a Jackass you really are
