Prolonged Eye Contact

nachtflix asked: Considering how dire the economy is, I can’t believe there’s not more outrage over the fact that tax dollars are being wasted on bills that everyone KNOWS will fail when brought to the courts. Whether you agree with abortion or not, can’t we all agree that this is a gross misuse of tax dollars and, maybe, our elected officials should focus more on making actualized lives better before focusing on potential lives?

I’ve been saying this for years.

All of these pro-life bills are doing is wasting money, stripping NECESSARY rights away from people who have already been granted them by the constitution, and wasting time. That’s the whole point. The GOP is purposefully trying to waste time. They know that if they tie up the majority of the legislation up with bills that have no chance in hell of passing either because the senate won’t pass them or the president will veto them they will successfully push off legislation that could help people and put president Obama in a good light.

They are, literally, using reproductive rights as their hostage to try and oust president Obama out of a job (because they think the American people are dumb enough to not realize that the reason nothing is getting done is because of THEM and not president Obama), or, at the very least, use all of this horrifying pro-life, anti-contraceptive legislation to leverage for the Bush tax cuts extension….again.

Honestly, I’d just like to thank all of the GOP candidates for their outstanding work on re-electing president Obama. And I’d like to congratulate President Obama on his second term right now. It’s clear that anyone who takes a stance that is vehemently against hormonal birth control will not win this election.

Yeah, I often wonder this too. But I don’t think the average citizen thinks far enough ahead to understand that even if these ridiculous bills pass they will have to be defended in court, using their tax dollars. We’ve got people complaining that their hard earned money is being used to feed children on welfare or being used to give low-income people medical care, and yet they’re silent on the fact that their political representatives are purposely creating bills to be challenged in court to waste time and tax dollars. Le sigh.
