Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is going to stand behind no one in the race to take health care away from
hundreds of thousands of women by defunding Planned Parenthood and, while he's at it,
taking food away from 45 million by shutting down government. That, he says, is just the by-product of standing up for
human rights. And when he says human, you can presume he means "man" and "fetus." Cuz ladies, you're just incubators.
When asked how far he will go as President to defund Planned Parenthood, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (FL) said during a Tuesday interview on "Special Report with Bret Baier," that defunding the healthcare organization is not a "political issue" for him, but a "human rights issue."
“To me that’s not even a political issue, that’s a human rights issue," Rubio told anchor Bret Baier.
He went on and on to explain his views of the "sanctity of life, and how "someone, just because they haven't been born and don't have a birth certificate and haven't yet been named, doesn't mean they don't have rights." And then, of course since he's a Republican and a piece of shit, he lied, saying Planned Parenthood has "been caught repeatedly and now on video trafficking in fetal tissue of aborted children. It's an outrageous practice." No, Rubio. It's an outrageous lie. No number of cooked videos by so-called undercover journalists and
deranged fellow candidates will ever make that true.
But, ladies, he does think your health is still "important," (he's not Jeb!, after all) so he says the money should go to "federally qualified health centers." Which we already know can't take on the additional burden of all the women who would lose care. So that's utter crap.
It's fetus rights. Just fetus rights. As usual. Once that kid is born, it can starve to death for all he cares. And might.
Sign if you agree: Democrats must stand strong. No cuts to Planned Parenthood. No government shutdowns.
Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2012—Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and Conservative Economics:
If Mitt Romney were to declare that his plan for Medicare relied on fairy dust, people would laugh. If he said that he was waiting for Superman—literally Superman, the one with the blue red 'S' and the dangling spit curl—to teach America's children, everyone would assume it was a joke. If Romney swore that bug-eyed aliens were central to his foreign policy, it would generate well-deserved snickers.
And if he said any one of these things over and over, if he insisted they were true, if he included them in nearly every speech, proudly repeated them to the press, and made them the centerpiece of his campaign... if he did that, the laughter would turn sour. Surely Romney wouldn't be able to give a speech without being met with derision. He wouldn't make it through an interview without the media tearing into his ridiculous and unworkable plans. He'd be laughed right out of the race.
So when Mitt Romney declares that his economic plan involves reducing taxes on the wealthy as a means of growing the economy... where's the laughter?

today's Kagro in the Morning show: There was just too much left to say about the bizarre drug price-raising CEO story to let it drop. At first glance, Martin Shkreli comes off as the typical multimillionaire boy-genius. But a look at his history shows a streak of diabolical fiendishness. After all that, will he change? In other business follies—and hey, why not run the government like this, right?—we examine the record of Carly Fiorina, both at HP and in her previous job at Lucent, which also pretty much collapsed. Hmm! And of course, we have to ask WTF, VW? Finally, in our Entrepreneurial Spirit corner: who says you have to "own" or "have rights in" property you put on AirBnB?
