over the last couple weeks the republics of this i did hear that go back to
uh... social issues so you know love attack on planned parenthood through
susan g comin i now prop a decision has been handed down by the nicer kid and
back to serve as a role ballistic over that of course uh... the biggest branch
of this attack is saying president obama would not exam
uh... religious schools hospitals of cetera uh... from that contraception
portion of the health care bill which allows women to get contraception at no
extra cost right
abby
what this reducing things'll we learn from this
but first i want to give you an example of how they're doing this and recent
warm which
and of course
is is bread and butter tacking on social issues
let's hear em out club one
this president who is
deliberately undermining religious liberty in this country
undermining family in this country
if you look at this present policies
he has done more
destroyed the
mediating institutions
those institutions that are created whereby a buyer founders
what does this president doing
destroying all
yet now we have a press is going after the church
week after the state based organizations point after treaty organization
and of course
fundamentally undermining the same
personalize it polarize it go after them
charges everybody can you believe it
when all in reality uh... a lot of these organizations are decrying the same or
that they will provide contraception
well at no extra cost
when fifty eight percent of catholics who recently was pretending to represent
say that they are in favor of that policy that in fact perception should be
alright catholic schools in catholic
hospitals
at no extra cost ok there's a lot of rights issue but of course they wanna
polarized
now what other reasons that they do that is because they have a sense of the loss
on the economy the economy is improving
the jobs numbers are improving so they like ok forget it
you know we read our hold sway can campaign on where the jobs so we can
blame the democrats women dont anything about jobs present obama stride and does
with some success so where they're doing they're running away from the issue and
instead they're going back to their bread and butter which is social back
issues like this wedge issues and said to arm is a guy who's been doing it all
along so is that
preferred candidate for this moment in time
the three things we learn from it are interesting though first of all it's a
great sign of how much more right wing the republic what he's gotten sis team
in two thousand one so in just the last
uh... eleven twelve years here
you know in old one
when there is a vote on whether federal employees health insurance plans should
include contraception and birth control so similar issue to this one
not totally the same because one is about religious uh... foundations
and this was not the federal government right
but nonetheless at this point b race and drums go across country talking about
how bad
their birth control contraception is
i mean it's crazy anne's wedding and all the states right
well back then
the senate it wasn't even issue iddm uh... voice vote
anila past overwhelming
so
at no showed all the republicans totally in favor of it
in the house
that passed three hundred thirty four ten ninety four
so all the republicans that not all my one of them
majority there are two and a rob portman lindsey graham the senate
roger wicker in the senate marker could use in the house
at that time is now in the center for the republic's all saying yes of course
for for contraception apartment roger coleman federal employees knock your
cough
now we would that press in the same way ever look at all the rhetoric and yes it
no it might little
now when you go to at the issue
that is more direct back here
in terms of uh... making sure
that uh...
organizations that give health care
have to provide at no extra cost
almost the same exact issues we have today right not federal employees but
all
institutions active healthcare coverage
including other religious organizations we've been talking about will back in
two thousand one
yet six republics senators that sponsored legislation
to that same effect
okay and uh... that was included olympia snowe susan collins
in the house
fourteen republican sponsored a including now senator marker
so back then you have republics or like are we for contraception at no extra
cost for one of course we are
but now the party's becomes so much more right wing but that it comes
not only a an issue that they can support
but the one on that issue saying that all you have to vote for us
because the democrats i can't believe it or provide contraception at no extra
cost and then second of all
the phenomena that you see
is their oppose obama no matter what
even if it was a position they agree with earlier no i don't care
people models endeavor but then i'm against it
and they've done time and time again you see them doing it here
and quite honestly
is really interesting
which is that unlike the democrats they don't give a damn about protecting their
own members
now why is that still relevant
desi whenever the democrats run into an issue where yet he had to choose between
being more progressive or more conservative
there was always use more conservative y
this is all no no
well we can't bend now someone agreed chill lieberman one agree
uh... you know at or these guys who've been mary landrieu et cetera arcgis
server democrats we have to protect them
there are to protect them and get their bold we have to do whatever they tell us
to do even though there nearly republicans in their voting record in
there
total right wing groups right
so the democrats always alright took protect their members right
when in reality there is small percentage of their members
but that's excuse they use now when
susan collins in olympia snowe and other republicans
are saying to the republican party don't go down this path
it we are seen as a party that is against contraception and birth control
pill
i mean for our so-called moderate republicans we're gonna get killed don't
go there if you are pouring is branded that way it's gonna be terrible for us
and their problems uh... all yeah that's really interesting
static dictate
impression of all that even a second thought
the right in the republican would
or go towards the left or strode towards the center
ever because they're concerned about their party members and protecting them
they don't give a damn
