the dems are not wasting time voting on things that have failed 36 times before in the senate...

the dems are not playing political theater or going on political witch hunts instead of tending to the people's business like the economy or jobs.

Here are more stats.

In 2011 there were 2,513,171 documented deaths in the US.

.34% were gun related, about 8500.
.012% were related to so-called assault weapons, about 300.

By comparison 1,210,000 abortions were performed in the US in 2008.

Keep telling me that guns are the problem. You always say that a person is a law-abiding citizen until they use a gun in a crime. By that logic a dr is law abiding until he performs an abortion, now he is a murderer.

says the opthomologist who was sued twice for malpractice...

we are not going backward and arguing settled law.

this is why the gop got their asses handed to them and will do it again in 2014. keep harping on abortion.

I was sent a questioniar via e-mail from the republican party folks asking how can we improve on this and that..
and first thing I mentioned was DROP THE ABORTION ISSUE.
to me it's like banging your head aginst the wall and pissing off the people in the next room cause you're making too much noise what I believe about abortion has nothing to do with a polition and how he or she does their job.

so if you want to keep comparing abortion to guns, then why not abortion to, say, I don't know, heart disease caused by obesity? or cancer by smoking? is Ronald McDonald a murderer? How about Joe Camel?

So some facts about this little thing that is the "IRS Scandal" in which the IRS targeted conservative groups and individuals.....

Paul Shulman, the former Commissioner of the IRS, made a total of 161 visits to the White House between 2010 and 2012.

Hilary Clinton, the former US Secretary Of State, made a total of 43 visits to the White House in that same time frame.

In George W. Bush's 8 years as President, the Commissioner of the IRS made 1 "ONE" total visit to the White House.

And the White House had no idea of the activities of the IRS? What were they doing on those 157 visits, playing Twister????

at this point it's not who was targeted it's that people/groups were targeted and the obama admin is up to their nutz in it, who would it have been next once the obama team is out ? if one political group (president or his team) paves the way for IRS coruption where will it end ? is this the change obama was talking about or transpariancy he boasted so much about ? and if this door is secretly opened as I said "who's next" ?

NOT from the Onion, surprisingly:

GOP Congressman Wants to Ban Abortion to Save Masturbating Fetuses

In a preview of the many pronouncements to come on the floor of Congress as the House debates a legislative ban on all abortions after 20 weeks, allow us to introduce you to Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas), who believes that abortion should be banned earlier than the Supreme Court says it should because, in part, he knows fetuses feel pain. He knows this because he says he's seen male fetuses begin masturbating in the womb around 15 weeks into a pregnancy.

RELATED: Arizona Government Website Misdirects Women on Abortions

During a House Rules Committee debate on Monday regarding the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act — the restrictive abortion bill for which debate begins today and which would ban procedures nationwide after 20 weeks of pregnancy and effectively dissolve the 23-24 week abortion window provided by Roe v. Wade — Burgess unleashed the following (video below):

This is a subject I know something about ... Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful. They stroke their face. If they’re a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to believe that they could feel pain?

So, this member of the U.S. Congress has now said, on the Congressional record, that male fetuses at 15 weeks into development are consciously touching their tiny fetal penises to give themselves pleasure. And Burgess is stating, on the Congressional record, that we should trust him because of his experience as a doctor. According to the GOP Doctors Caucus website, he has practiced as an OB/GYN for 25 years — 25 years of tiny masturbating fetuses.

RELATED: New Mexico Bill Would Send Rape Victims to Jail for Aborting 'Evidence'

So is he right? Well, sorta ... but not really. In the blurry, ultrasonographic world of masturbating fetuses, the most conclusive finding was in 1996, when two Italian doctors witnessed what they believed was a female fetus purportedly masturbating for 20 minutes and logged their discovery in a letter to The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. That abstract isn't available online, but their finding has been cited, and previews of the study exist:

But that fetus was at 32 weeks, not 15 weeks, as Burgess cited. And at 32 weeks, fetuses are usually around 3.5 pounds. At 15 weeks, fetuses are around 4 inches long and weigh just a few ounces. Presuming the 1996 finding is the norm (and represents a big jump in itself), the research still doesn't give any credence to Burgess's already shocking don't abort fetuses because they're masturbating logic, because the fetus witnessed in 1996 was twice the age Burgess cited. Basically, the masturbating fetus argument does not help anything — and it may undermine Burgess's insistence that fetuses feel pain and pleasure at 15 weeks.

RELATED: Words, Words, Words: How Akin and the GOP Differ on Abortion

If Burgess wanted to make a point about masturbating fetuses and ban third-trimester abortions, he'd have supporters. ABC News explained in January that both pro-choice supporters (79 percent) and pro-life advocates (96 percent) strongly believe in making abortion illegal in the third trimester. And those third-trimester numbers are very tiny as it is: "In the U.S., 88 percent of abortions are done in the first 12 weeks, according to the Guttmacher Institute; fewer than 1 percent are in the third trimester." ABC News reported.

But that isn't what Burgess and conservatives want. Their restrictive, 20-week ban and attack on Roe v. Wade is expected to pass the House as early as Tuesday, the AP reports. The Democratic-led Senate, of course, is expected to completely ignore the bill, and the Obama administration last night announced a veto threat. Indeed, the only thing that seems to be in question with this bill is which member of the House GOP caucus will try to top Burgess and his masturbating fetuses now that he's topped Rep. Trent Franks, the bill's sponsor, and his "incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy" line from last week.
