Establishing a record

Many of the conservatives I know are furious with the Republicans in the Senate because they failed to pass a bill defunding Planned Parenthood yesterday.

You have to play the long game on this one. The organization that has been releasing the videos has been making sure that each video shows behavior that is more reprehensible than what was shown previously. We've gone from callous statements to gruesome images. They know what they are doing, and each subsequent video will be more damning.

Get the politicians on record as supporting what PP is doing. Keep making them vote. I have a feeling that each subsequent vote will be more untenable.

For once Republicans may be doing smart tactics. I notice that Mitch McConnell changed his vote from yes to no, just so that he can call for reconsideration any time he wants.

Definitely time to start reminding people of this--on any number of issues. Statements like "whatever your position on X, are you really comfortable forcing those who oppose it to fund it? If so, what things should you be compelled to pay for that you vehemently disagree with?"

Well, foreign wars come to mind. The War on Poverty and War on Women, not so much.

The left is all for wars they start--I remember when Clinton started bombing Serbia, and liberal friends of mine were fully in support of that.
