contempt for the poor women? Is this showing how much they care because once that child is born the kid is on its own. They will not feed the child, give it shelter, medical care. Silly ( republi-cants) who want smaller government?

MADISON, Wis. -- Gov. Scott Walker quietly signed a contentious Republican bill Friday that would require women seeking abortions to undergo an ultrasound and ban doctors who lack admitting privileges at nearby hospitals from performing the procedures.

Opponents contend legislators shouldn't force women to undergo any medical procedure and the bill will force two abortion clinics where providers lack admitting privileges to shut their doors. The law takes effect Monday.

well It's supposedly to force the woman to BOND with the fetus and change her mind. Because, you know, women are to stupid and childlike to make any decisions regarding their pregnancies on their own!

Hey Wisconsin you asked for this by not getting rid of this imbecile.  Votes count people, and by people, I mean you woman!!!  this man to continue his reign of terror? What's the problem? His assault on workers wasn't damaging enough?

wow! One more example of the GOP's idea of less government....
talking point {[ un-American, anti-Freedom, anti-Woman, anti-Minority and anti- everything that does not look, act or think just like they do. The way that they seek to impose their will on others and strip rights and freedoms from others is more in line with communisim that with democracy. ]}

What is it with these guys and anti- abortion. Do they think this will win them votes in the next election?  they are counting on election fraud to take care of that. The ink wasn't even dry on the ruling before a number of red states drafted voter ID legislation, some of which is already passed and signed. And that's just the beginning. Without the preclearance clause, they can take away early voting, shut down DMVs, gerrymander egregiously, and probably have someone at the polls stopping any registered democrat from getting a ballot, and nothing can be done about it until after the election is over.

more silly shit:
The House Appropriations Committee approved an agriculture budgeting bill last month that would significantly restructure the U.S. bank regulatory regime as part of a GOP effort to protect Wall Street's offshore trading in derivatives -- the complex financial products at the heart of the 2008 economic meltdown.

Republicans in Congress have been pressuring regulators for years to exempt derivatives that U.S. companies sell overseas from the new rules set by the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law.

The House bill is nothing more than a backdoor way of killing derivatives reform," said Dennis Kelleher, president and CEO of the financial reform advocacy group Better Markets. "It's Christmas in July for Wall Street."

Prior to Dodd-Frank, derivatives trades were essentially secret deals between two companies, with no market or regulatory scrutiny. The 2010 law required companies to trade through a third party that guaranteed each side’s ability to make good on its bets. To buttress the guarantee, each side of the trade was required to post margin -– a small upfront deposit just in case the trade went bad. An offshoring loophole would allow firms to evade these requirements, provided they meet the technical definitions of the loophole.

This is what TEA-Republicans are working for. (kill the gov, kill the USA ) fuck us all... The 2010 Frank-Dodd banking act has placed restrictions Big Banking does not want. TEA-Republicans have this bill in their sights for elimination, de-funding, side-tracking or abridging in every way they can. If you want to bailout more banks and stagnate the economy, go ahead and vote for TEA-Republicans running for office in your state. All and every financial instrument must be regulated, no matter if off-shore or not! Big time lawyers and accountants in collusion with big time lobbyist have amassed huge sums of money to fight or input into unrelated bills wording to circumvent the wishes of the nation.

Tal;king points {[This just shows that behind all the smoke and mirrors on social issues for votes, the GOP is 100% devoted to special interests. They are completely ruled by K Street lobbyists and don't give a fig for the American people. The GOP will be the ruination of our way of life............t should be obvious to everyone that the Corporate Congress has just one consistuency---corporations, Wall Street, and the hyper-wealthy. The GOP's latest effort protect their interests could not be more apparent. If you care more about the interests of the people, write your Senator demanding they reject any attempt to nullify Dodd-Frank legislation. If you don't, don't whimper and complain later.  ]}


here's a thing or two:
Shouldn't they be talking to their Republican friends about this...isn't this what they wanted?
Three southern Republican governors called on President Barack Obama Monday to end National Guard furloughs resulting from sequestration cuts.

Govs. Rick Scott (Fla.), Bobby Jindal (La.) and Phil Bryant (Miss.) said in a letter that the cuts would harm their states' abilities to fight natural disasters, and they urged the administration to direct the Department of Defense to reverse the policy.

"The furlough hits us at a historically inopportune time, as evidenced by many years of hurricanes, wildfires and flooding in our states from May through October," they wrote. "Under sequestration, nearly 50 percent of our full-time uniformed military personnel will be furloughed one day per week from July through September." They added that the cuts would mean less equipment to battle natural disasters."

it is the obstruction from the House majority Party that got us here in the first place. Go cry to those clowns about your problem. No, take money from the Anti abortion and Voter Suppression slush fund that your states have...

 You are the guys who despise federal aid (until you need it). Hypocrites, lobby your GOP US Reps to vote to end sequestration.
