Raising 'Bat-S***-Crazy" to an art-form...

I think that the flood insurance issue and the "when life begins issue" are very closely related. They are one and the same.

Neither one should be under the control of government.

Go Rand!

Sometimes I think LJ just posts so she can say the word "teabagger" as much as possible. Kinda sad a pathetic really.

Good point. If people want flood insurance, let them buy it from a private company. Good for Rand.

Rand Paul Fetal Personhood Amendment Stalls Flood Insurance Bill (UPDATE)

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) moved this week to hold a noncontroversial flood insurance bill hostage until the Senate agrees that life begins at fertilization.

The bill, which would financially boost the National Flood Insurance Program on the cusp of hurricane season, had been expected to pass easily in the Senate. But since Paul on Monday offered an unrelated "fetal personhood" amendment, which would give legal protections to fetuses from the moment of fertilization, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is threatening to halt progress on the legislation.

"I'm told last night that one of our Republican senators wants to offer an amendment -- listen to this one -- wants to offer an amendment on when life begins," Reid said on the Senate floor Tuesday. "I am not going to put up with that on flood insurance. I can be condemned by outside sources; my friends can say, 'Let them have a vote on it.' There will not be a vote on that on flood insurance. We'll either do flood insurance with the amendments that deal with flood insurance, or we won't do it. We'll have an extension."

Reid has allowed Republicans to attach unrelated amendments to other important bills in the past few months. Most notably, he let the Senate vote on a contraception-related amendment, proposed by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), to a transportation bill. But Reid called Paul's measure "ridiculous" and "outlandish," and asked Republicans to deal with him on "their side of the aisle."

So, lessee...We've got Rand Paul trying to attach "fetal-personhood" to a Flood Insurance bill...

We've got Orrin Hatch beating back the Teabagger candidate in the primaries...

We've got Charlie Rangel fighting off a primary challenger that was backed by the Teabaggers...

We've got Florida Governor, Rick Scott Smacked Down By Florida Judge Over Law Targeting Firms With Cuba, Syria Ties

We've got a "Conservative Candidate That Could Lose Support Over 'Non-Issue'" (A woman GOP lawmaker that is legally married to another woman...) Ooopsie, we can't have THAT!! Even if she's qualified, what would the Family Research Council & Tony Perkins say?; what would the American Family Association and Donald Wildmon say?; what would Franklin Graham and Baptists say? Dang...It's tough when you can't make a decision without getting permission from all the wing-nuts...

We've got a Teabagger senatorial candidate in Ohio busted for getting caught telling a lie about his opponent, and then yelling at the reporter who caught him as being "Out of touch with reality"...

(Hmmmm... Looks like the Teabaggers have lost their mojo....)

You CAN NOT make this sh*t up... rofllol

This is a perfect example of what is being discussed in the civility thread.
I debated as to whether or not to post a response because in doing so....you give the OP credibility.....but alas...the example printsmith used in another thread just could not be ignored.

carry on LJ.
