As republicans change their image.............

If you remember in our last election episode the republicans vowed to change their "Image" in order to attract the popular vote. After all it's not their polices that were the problem, It was how they presented them.
As you know they have been working hard to improve that "Image".......

Benghazi, Benghazi, IRS Gate, Benghazi, IRS Gate, Holder attacked Fox news, IRS gate, Benghazi, Obama targeted, Obama targeted, IRS gate, Holder attacked Fox news, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi....


With that work well underway the republicans decided to devote time to some serious work.
No, not defunding the now defunct ACORN for the second time. Not even the 39th attempted repeal of Obama care. (that will come later)
Republicans set forth to work on important and popular legislation.

20-Week Abortion Bill Advanced By All-Male Congressional Panel

Republicans in the House Judiciary subcommittee voted on Tuesday to expand Rep. Trent Franks' (R-Ariz.) proposed D.C. abortion bill to apply to the whole country and advanced the bill favorably to the full committee. The bill would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy in the United States in all cases except those in which the mother's life is in danger.

snip......

All six Republicans on the panel voted in favor of the amendment to expand the bill nationwide. They argued that fetuses can feel pain after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a claim that is medically disputed, and suggested that the Supreme Court might eventually come around to their side on the abortion issue. Franks challenged the notion that his bill is part of what the Democrats have called a Republican "war on women."

such as 'wolf in sheep's clothing.' It may look like a sheep superficially, but it's still a fucking wolf. A more apt analogy, however, may be 'polishing a turd.'
