3. No, they'd just ban firearm ownership/use by women.

[Scuba]

2. The party of "family values" must come from families far different from mine.

[Major Hogwash]

25. The GOP supports the raping of sex slaves!!

That's what this boils down to.

[blkmusclmachine]

27. They mean "THE FAMILY." As in:

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Disgusting, isn't it?

[valerief]

5. Anyone in the GOP is a royal asshole. nt

[Ineeda]

6. And I'm pretty sure

that the anti-abortion language is not specific to the rest of the bill. I think they just threw it in there because, after all, who could possible object to anti-trafficking, and expected the bill to just breeze through. The Democrats absolutely have to minutely examine each and every bill that the nuts on the other side approve. They've been trying this for years! ETA: Evil Bastards.

7. thank you, EarlG. K&R

8. Right here is the reason to vote for Hillary if she is the Dem candidate.

She may be too corporatist and militaristic for my preference, however, she's not racist and not anti-woman. You can bet your bottom dollar that the Repug candidate, whoever the clown may be, will be both of the above PLUS more militaristic and more corportist than Clinton. She's also in favor of raising the minimum wage, again a really good thing.

I'll vote for Bernie in the primaries, he's far more leftist than she is and my true pick, but if she's the general election candidate, I'll vote for her.

[Unknown Beatle]

24. "PLUS more militaristic and more corportist than Clinton"

So she's less militaristic and corporatist than any GOP candidate. Whether more or less, isn't being militaristic and corporatist enough? That's like voting for the lesser of two evils. Why does it always seem to come down to that?

[lark]

30. I too hate voting for the lesser of 2 evils,

but this country is so controlled by the 1%, even the msm strongly supports the corportacrcy, that a true populist anti-war person would never get elected. Obama ran as anti-war, and pro privacy, but that isn't what we got when he was in office. Much as I hate it, it looks like we are stuck voting for "not as bad", unless we don't vote or vote for a 3rd party candidate, and then we get much much worse.

Pragmatism isn't pretty, but it's better than the alternative. Still will vote for Bernie in the primaries, he's the one I want.

[liberal N proud]

9. More of the same Republican Obstructionism that we have seen for 6 + #@(!*$% years

When will citizens say enough?

[midnight]

10. Your message is right on.

America can't have a new Attorney General until the Republican's can be sure they have control of her/him…. Holder worked for Chiquita a company that squashed labor rights, and that Co. worked for the GOP.

11. Fucking fucks!

[d_legendary1]

12. Strange how they're holding the woman's job hostage

to pass anti-women legislation.

[rhett o rick]

13. k & r. Thanks for posting. nm

[Erda]

14. I think the real reason for not allowing a vote

is Loretta Lynch's answer to a question during her hearing: "Is waterboarding torture?"

Her answer was without equivocation. She said "Waterboarding is torture and is a crime."

I think she scares the Republicans. She is not afraid of them. The anti-women language is the poison pill that ensures further delay. "Very clever, these Republicans."

[polynomial]

29. Agree... its torture that is a crime

Bush said he did what he did, which was torture, Cheney said he would do it again if given the chance.

That part of America that owns a huge chunk of the economy, supports the Republican right base, and demonizes everything and anything Obama does to encourage a whole new Health Care system is policy torture.

Its my firm believe all Medicare and Medicaid should be combined to eliminate the crazy system that is dysfunctional, combine all of it in the Affordable Care Act. AARP is not needed. It is a government established entity that is over due to vanish.

Inadequate public policy driven by hate is torture. America has had Hate Health Care water boarding for the last century.

This type of politics is built in all types of legislation for the past century.


If the current Republican party could torture by water boarding which is physical trauma, and get away it, they will easily torture American citizens via behavior patterns that influence the electorate to work against their good intentions. That is insane…

I applaud Loretta Lynch

[SoapBox]

15. Pukes, Baggers and Haters...

They will be the death of America.

[SunSeeker]

16. Congressional Republicans are evil incarnate. nt

[flashsmith99]

17. That does it.

Eric Holder should charge those 47 republican senators with committing high treason during a time of war, chain em up, send them to Guantanamo Bay. That should encourage them to vote on a new attorney general.

[A Simple Game]

19. That may be going a little too far, but there is no reason he can't announce he

will launch a new investigation every week or even every day while he is still on the job. There isn't a Senator or Representative that doesn't have some dirty laundry in their closets, especially the Republicans.

I bet by the launch of the fifth investigation even the stupid ones will get the idea.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. too angry to say anything....

Rage.
Fury.
Ballistic.
Aghast.


Fucking PUUUUUUUUUUUKEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Goddammit fucking scum, goddamned goPISS, POS sewage, repulsive,

[Curmudgeoness]

20. Sounds like blackmail to me. nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

21. The only behavior gops are capable of, blackmail and extortion.

[Hekate]

22. Thank God that Holder is staying on in the interim. GOP is a disgrace to the nation. nt

[penndragon69]

23. Two reasons really...

1, SHE'S BLACK .

2, They still want to accuse Erick Holder
of a few more crimes before they loose him as
a punching bag.

[Major Hogwash]

26. Republican Senators are afraid of Loretta Lynch!

Because she is a black woman!!

That's all there is to it.

[father founding]

28. thank you

Send the republicans boxes of Kraft mac and cheese and scoops of Blue Bell ice cream in appreciation of their hard work.
