Congress strips Planned Parenthood of ALL funding; Pays for NASCAR car

Unreal. I guess the message with this is women bad, NASCAR dads good.
I'm not going to go into my personal view on this, but if they are cutting funding why are they sponsoring a car at NASCAR? I don't want my taxes to go for NASCAR.

I need to post another article. I posted the wrong one. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/18/house-poised-vote-nascar-proposal-amendments-gop-spending/
Among the other actions the House took was to reject a controversial plan to end the Pentagon's sponsorship of a NASCAR team and to vote for a ban on federal aid to Planned Parenthood.

Me too, but am not surprised. Boehner and his cronies are hard right and the hard right hate women and love NASCAR. They wouldn't care if women lose their rights (which women will if this keeps going).

This can lead to a very serious issue and best to avoid it! But tax money on Nascar. well maybe I am a fan BUT if you really knew where all the tax money goes Nascar would look like a great deal!

No more free condoms for me. I will have to go hit some locations and stock up. My local planned parenthood is already closed.

But the thing isn't really Planned Parenthood, just that out of all the things they could cut, they go after PP. That's the problem. Why would they go after PP? Because it's women. Why didn't they go after NASCAR? Because NASCAR is run by men. Those are facts. Government wastes a lot of money but I don't want to pay for NASCAR.
Btw, I got people upset about funding birth control if they don't believe in it. PP funds more than birth control.

I sure as hell don't want ANY of my tax paying money to go to any major sporting endeavor. That is why they have fans.
Yes, PP does more than help with birth control.

I don't either. I don't want to pay for stadiums, or any sport team. To me it should be paid by those who enjoy the event. If I go to a sporting event I expect to pay, why should others pay for it?

Re: Congress strips Planned Parenthood of ALL funding; Pays for NASCAR car
These idiots are going to horse around and create an epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases - in addition to way too many unwanted pregnancies. Remember the Bush Africa policy?? Last night I made the mistake of listening to them on the House floor. They took special advantage of the abortion doctor in Philadelphia and used his crimes to suggest that the very same thing goes on in PP clinics. I'm always astounded by their so-called concern for the unborn, but refuse to offer any assistance once they arrive.

Off topic, Welcome to our new digs sbraney. I do enjoy your posts.
Now on topic. Can someone please tell me when we were asked to sponsor a car in NASCAR? Everytime I see a Navy, Army, Coast Guard, etc. car while watching a race, it totally blows my mind. I really don't remember anyone asking me if I would like to pay out of my taxes to have a car run in NASCAR.

Re: Congress strips Planned Parenthood of ALL funding; Pays for NASCAR car
I'm ready for a drink! Can't believe our money is used to sponsor a car in NASCAR. There are so many programs our government is spending on that we don't know about. I hope more information on programs like this would become public. This is absolutely STUPID! I would like to know how much was spent and how long.

You can always tell when someone is lying, doesn't believe in what they
are saying or what they're saying has no merit. Stumble, stumble on
words read - now that is a tell tale sign.

Re: Congress strips Planned Parenthood of ALL funding; Pays for NASCAR car
Lets see! If you had a choice for planned parent funds or unemployment benefits and this issue was the difference.. what would be your feelings? Not agreeing with Nascar either.. But again this is just the tip of the iceburg in how BOTH SIDES are wasting money! And pork spending! Lets see. End unnecessary funding for stupid projects and needless funding for other tax supported programs that are unnecessary But its ok to cut senior programs and SS benefits and more! . Sorry, every defending their causes so get in line!
So where should the priorities.. Unemployment, planned parenthood funding, SS benefits, medicare and medicade programs, education funding, teacher jobs, petty green projects, rail is that a hugh job creator and saving the economical day, and fire and police jobs, Hum! What are the priorities! This could be interesting! But I am sure there are many more funding issues i haven't begun to touch!

Re: Congress strips Planned Parenthood of ALL funding; Pays for NASCAR car
So I have typed several responses and then deleted them because every time I try to make my point it justs keeps coming back to the same conclusion, it's yet another step on the GOP agenda. Get tax breaks for the super rich check, Deny UI for LT UE check, waste months on trying to repel HC check, pretend that they are working on jobs check, push anti-abortion check, deny equal pay check, try to de-fund all programs that help the less fortunate check, even though govmt funds have never been used at PP for abortions they need to de-fund them because they preform them legally check, de-fund NPR and PBS because they have a unbiased voice check, break the unions so they can pay all workers less check..... From now on I will just type AGENDA....
