Donald, you wouldn't know the truth if it kicked you in the ass.
bluering: Did I miss something?
Apparently, all you know about this is what Rush said. So yes, you missed pretty much the whole deal. Not that that is anything new.

Here is Ms. Fluke's opening statement. It deals not with pregnancy but with failure of insurance policies to cover women's needs unrelated to pregnancy. Policies the students paid for without contribution by the school.
The case she made in this statement bears upon sexual discrimination and failure to meet contractual obligation.

Your ad hominem attack on Lolli tells us you don't have anything to suppprt your argument. In light of that no one really has any reason to bother reading what you write.

Donald, I suggest that you do a little research, maybe even talk with women. (If your border collie doesn't work as a chick magnet for that purpose you're beyond hope.) There are many different types of "birth control" pills - many of which are prescribed for other reasons having nothing to do with birth control. Yes, the bargain ones may cost $10/month or so, but that doesn't mean they all do. Some apparently cost quite a bit more - different chemicals, different doses, and so on.
If the LEB were here, she'd give you an earful about this.

I read the transcript of her comments. To be honest, they seem pretty bland to me. She identified herself as a student and member of a reproductive rights group. She then testified that insurance companies should cover reproductive health care.
Um, I'm not feeling the outrage. If I testified in front of congress, identified myself as a climber, and said life insurance companies should not be able to exclude climbers, would that make me a left wing communist activist hack? I think not. Insurance is a highly regulated industry (and has been forever) and consumers should be able to say their piece to the rule makers.

Of course it was staged- all testimony before these committees is staged. Who the f*#k testifies before a congressional committee for no reason and without an agenda?
And who the f*#k is stupid enough bite? Rush and Donald Thompson. I like your dog though.

"Now all conservatives "hate women" and are 'against women'. "
When did that become news?
Perhaps only in your mind, Donald...

I've said this six times already, but even if Fluke's testimony was pure political theater, Rush Limbaugh chose his own response.
Without RL's yellow custard diatribe, the GOP had a hope of making the Fluke testimony disappear. When he sprayed open his pie-hole, it landed all over the GOP.
It would seem very uncharacteristic for you, or any other Repug, to give the Dems that much credit for political strategizing.

One problem we've been having is that when playing flyball at a dog park our BC can get a little aggressive when other dogs get in his way or crowd him. Chasing the ball is his "job," so he takes it quite seriously.
Thoughts?

It was a staged, scripted hoax. Political theater.
and what do you have to say about the all male panel of preachers that were the only ones called to testify, all coincidentally with the same opinion? How is that any different?
Peace
