"You know it. I know it. But it seems the Republicans in the U.S. House don't know it.
Millions of Americans families are struggling in this economy and can't find work. New layoffs are announced every day. Foreclosures are still happening all around us.
So what is the new House Republican majority's top priority?
Taking away a woman's right to choose and severely restricting reproductive health care services.
A majority of House Republicans have co-sponsored a bill which would expand the ban on federal funding for abortions to include raising taxes on small businesses that choose health insurance plans that provide abortion coverage.
As you may have heard, the bill is so extreme that it initially limited the exception for victims of rape only to something they defined as "forcible" rape. As if victims of date rape or other coercive attacks are responsible.
Fortunately, the outrage from the American people was heard loud and clear, and they backed down.
But make no mistake: these Republicans are prioritizing divisive social issues over creating jobs and repairing our economy.
Republicans need to get their priorities straight and stop trying to take away woman’s right to choose. They should travel to the nearest shelter or unemployment office and take a good look at what’s going on in this country. The American people expect us to help put people back to work -- not pursue an extremist agenda to take away women's rights."

Here in Florida the CEO who bought the state, Mr. Picklehead, has announced his agenda which seems primarily aimed at attacking Obama and screwing the less-than-wealthy, the schools, state workers, and the unemployed. On top of that, his job creation promises seem to be heading into negative territory.
I don't mean to sound mean - well, maybe I do - but I hope the delusional who voted for this clown get it in the shorts like the rest of us.
