Hmm, Dems trot up their women folk to make a spectacle, playing the female card, lying, and we are the bad guys? LOL!

Can you prove Michelle is a liar?

Michelle Malkin’s inertpretation.

She’s a liar.

These rude, wimpy right-wingers must be feeling quite manly today.

The Republicans were the ones seeking to delay the vote, by continually interrupting the normal business of the House. They were also seeking to shut down women’s voices speaking in favor of abortion rights. Their substantive point was trivial – they claimed they wanted to extend the debate from 30 minutes for each side to 60 minutes – a meaningless change they were using only to disrupt the proceedings. And it was also out of order – the rule for the debate was already established, and it is not part of parliamentary procedure to interrupt a speaker to ask to change the rule. The Republicans were using “points of order” – a parliamentary privilege – to disrupt on false grounds (which is why the Chair kept ruling them out of order – and they kept doing it).

In other words, the Republicans deliberately and systematically broke the rules of their own body to prevent the women in the House from stating their position. They were using the tools of debate to prevent debate. They were using democracy to shut down democracy, while the Democrats continued to attempt to act within the rules. And it is not an accident that this was overwhelmingly male Republicans acting specifically against female Democrats on an issue that only affects women.

You insist that actually following the rules of a democratic body is somehow a sign of weakness, and that women seeking to assert their own rights – democratic, and human – to act to protect their own bodies are somehow worthy of ridicule. I suppose that is not the most contemptible thing your kind has done this vicious day, but it’s all too telling of how unfit for a civilized society you actually are.

Eve Ensler must have been substituted in place of their Braveheart speech.
