THE PARTY OF LIFE: STARVING BABIES ARE GOOD IF IT’S POLITICALLY DAMAGING FOR JOE BIDEN
I suppose the one good thing you can say about Republicans is that they are utterly transparent. There is no pretense or shiftiness. At this point, you’d have to be a Chris Coons to not see the “1+1=2” political calculus at the heart of the “Let’s allow babies to starve to hurt Joe Biden” strategy.
It’s a populist working class party now:
House GOP leaders were among the 192 Republicans who voted against providing $28 million in aid to the Food and Drug Administration to address the shortage of baby formula — within days of criticizing President Biden for not doing enough on the issue.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Whip Steve Scalise (La.) and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) voted late Wednesday against the measure to provide new FDA funding, which the House approved on a largely party-line vote of 231 to 192. Twelve Republicans broke ranks and joined with Democrats in backing the money.
Barney Frank’s dictum that for Republicans life begins at conception and ends at birth is one of the most enduring truths ever spoken.
Keep in mind that they are catering to people who refused vaccines during a pandemic to hurt Joe Biden. They are literally willing to suffer and die for their cause.
As U.S. Grant said of an earlier generation of racists, they “suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse.”
Imagine Joe Biden’s surprise when he fully comprehended the depth of the hatred and animosity that his former Senate buddies bring to this. OR – imagine how surprised he will be when he realizes all of that.
“I never thought MY baby would starve!” sobbed the woman who voted for the Starve the Babies Party.
Don’t worry, no white babies were harmed in the manufacture of this controversy.
