Eric Swalwell Goes Off And Slams GOP Government Mandated Pregnancies
Swalwell said, They dont want to be at the kitchen table for anything else after the baby is born. They dont want to be there at all. They dont want to be there to help her finance that family. They walk away from every piece of legislation that we have that would help mothers feed their kids. They dont want to be there to help the mother educate their children. They dont want to be there to help her get a child care tax credit, or child tax credit that could be permanent. They dont want to be there to fund the education and good schools in the neighborhood. They certainly dont want to be there to take the most dangerous weapons out of the hands of the most dangerous people that could kill that kid at their elementary school. They dont want to be there to make college more affordable. They just want to be there to tell her that she has to have a government-mandated pregnancy and if she doesnt do it. Shes a criminal.

(48,429 posts)4. That's the truth, in a nutshell, Swalwell continues to impress
It's that way because the GOP is all about the GOP. What suits their pocketbooks. They don't want to pay taxes to support the masses because they, the GOP, have all the money they need to go it alone for themselves. The GOP is about privilege and greed, and controlling others to support their privilege and greed. Period.

He always said "WHITE SPACES". With all due respect to Swalwell and babylonsister the older I get the more I appreciate white spaces.
