Instead of focusing on helping the President and Congressional Democrats get the economy turned around and create jobs and putting our nose to the grindstone and sitting around the table, locking ourselves in a room and not leaving until we can hammer out a way to do that and do it together and really continue to jump start the economy the way President Obama’s been able to move us forward, we are actually debating contraception. Contraception in which 99% of women in America have used at some point in their life and the Republicans want to debate not just religious liberties. They want to debate allowing all employers who might have an objection to deny that coverage that President Obama has should be available under the Affordable Care Act without a copay and without a deductible.
I mean that’s just unbelievable, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised because the Republicans have no jobs plan, they’ve not brought a single jobs bill to the floor of the House of Representatives nor have they proposed one in the Senate since the Republicans took over the majority in the House, so they need the distraction.
