GOP psychos obsessed with Planned Parenthood Topic

When the GOP is attacking the funding of PP branches that don't even perform abortions then yes, they are going to be perceived as acting in a more irrational manner than the Dems. Their attacks on PP's funding have become disconnected from their original purpose, and in a person that could easily be considered "psycho" behavior.

Hmm, how  to reverse the scenario. Let's say gun control became a meaningful issue again, and there was an organization receiving a bit of federal funding - let's call them Private Protection - whose chapters would sometimes acquired retail licenses to sell firearms (among other services such as firearm safety classes - which you'd think someone interetsed in preventing gun deaths would support). An amendment was attached to a random bill in Congress by some Dems preventing any organizationfrom using federal funds to purchase guns for retail sale, so Private Protection was forced to do a bit of restructuring to make sure they complied with the Feinstein Amendment. But that wasn't enough for the anti-gun Dems, so on the state level they started going after Private Protection's funding directly, even in states where no Private Protection chapter actually sold guns.

I think it would be reasonable to classify such behavior by those Dems as crazy, or whatever synonym you cared to use.

The NRA promotes many gun safety programs for kids...Eddie Eagle Rules!...What would happen if we tried to get federal funding for the NRA?

You mean like through a Byrne Grant? Have they ever tried?

How about straight federal funding. To reduce gun violence.

Or better yet make donations to the NRA Tax deductible.

The confirmed idiot is trying to divert you away from the topic, swamp.   Don't fall for it.

It's about Planned Parenthood funding abortions and the crazy GOP psychos being obsessed with it.    Don't let him lead you down the path that will eventually end at Dubya and WMD.

I think creating a theoretical response from the Democrats about federal funding of the NRA to lower gun crime is right in line. The Dems would flip...Left wing talk radio would brand the Republicans insane. Rachel Maddow and John Stewart would have a week of shows...A pure psycho response.

Abortion is an important issue to Republcans. It is clearly also an important issue to Democrats.

I think you missed the point.  He'll have you arguing about gun control.   That is not the topic. 

Of course, this is why you're his target audience.  He can lead you where he wants you to go.
Is he leading me where he wants, or am I following where I want??

Is this something like the guy who can't walk and chew gum at the same time?

Nope, nothing like that.

I am surprised you would even bring it up.

If your contribution is "snarky little playground taunts", don't worry what others post.   Because, quite frankly, I've only seen your "snarky little playground taunts".  Therefore, I think you lack the intelligence to make any legit point. 

I don't want to limit your posting.  I just want you to recognize what you add. 
Wow. Basically, you just said, "I know you are but what am I?" And here I thought your shtick was tiresome and unoriginal. Good job.

It's an interesting scenario you bring up, but the premise is flawed IMO.  Part of the flaw in the premise is that conservatives would (in theory anyway) not be as married to federal funding for the cause, so their stake in it is less.  The other major difference is that in the comparison to PP, the inherent reason those who are favor of federal funding for PP are that way for the purpose of ensuring available abortions for those who demand it.  (I am making this assertion based on political rhetoric - rhetoric in the pure sense).  If PP is not able to stand on their own without federal funding, then by extension women's options would be limited.

In the case you mention above, I would not have as much heartache with the Dems because I am not convinced that federal funding for the program you mention is vital.  Those programs can be supported privately.

That's a worldview difference between between liberals and conservatives (in general), based on what the underlying function of government is.

Another pertinent post from you.   Good job.  

Now run along and try to find a post that actually addresses a topic and not a poster.
