Reince Priebus at RedState (via Talking Points Memo):
So where do you Republicans draw the line? I don't draw it at all—I think all born people have a right to health care and I've been making it an issue for a very long time. If the media won't, then voters must ask the pressing question: When do Republicans think a person loses her or his right to health? On weaning? When they enter the terrible twos? Sixteen or nineteen or twenty-one? Retirement? Do they also endorse abandoning toddlers to die?

So a 47-year-old Virginia chap gets a 17-year-old girl to give him a blow job, which in most states constitutes statutory rape and is harshly punished. According to Virginia statute, however, this is only a misdemeanor if the girl is 15 or up, which is dissatisfying to attorney general Ken Cuccinelli, and why?
Would it be because Virginia law thinks sexually molesting a minor isn't serious enough to be a felony? No way! It's because the guy is doing it in an un-Christian, sodomitical way!!
So instead of asking Virginia to revisit the statute on molestation, Cuccinelli takes Virginia's plainly unconstitutional old anti-sodomy law out of the mothballs, and uses it against our vile old reprobate, and the federal court throws out the case, and then he starts complaining.
So tell us about this one, Priebus: If the media won't, then voters must ask the pressing question: do these Republicans believe it's OK for 50-year-old men to have sex with 15-year-old girls, as long as it is in a Levitically approved genital-genital style? Do they also endorse flashing?
And also from The Mirror:
They'd be marrying their daughters, only one wouldn't like them to get the estate, I mean it wouldn't be traditional, would it? Salic law and all, don't you know.
Update: See Whiskey Fire, especially comments. You know why it's always conservatives who come up with these ideas? Yes, you do. Not so much that they're anxious to try out man on dog relationships, though that must be part of it, but that the decision to get married belongs for them to the general category of tax issues.
Reince Priebus at RedState (via Talking Points Memo):
Ooh, you know what, Reincy old top? See you and call you! You think there are born people who have a right to health care? So do I!The President, the Senate Majority Leader, the House Democratic Leader, and the Chair of the Democratic National Committee (in whose home state this hearing occurred) made funding Planned Parenthood an issue in the 2012 campaign. They should now all be held to account for that outspoken support. If the media won’t, then voters must ask the pressing questions: Do these Democrats also believe a newborn has no rights? Do they also endorse infanticide?I certainly hope not. I hope this is a place where we can all find common ground. Surely, all Americans can agree that a newborn deserves immediate medical care—and, if necessary, emergency care—regardless of the circumstances of birth.
So where do you Republicans draw the line? I don't draw it at all—I think all born people have a right to health care and I've been making it an issue for a very long time. If the media won't, then voters must ask the pressing question: When do Republicans think a person loses her or his right to health? On weaning? When they enter the terrible twos?

| Why do you hate these kids, Mr. Chairman? |
From The Mirror: Gideon Strumpet, Whory Tory
He's snatched millions of pounds in benefits from those in most need – and it seems that George Osborne could not care less about anyone else.Tonight he was branded selfish and arrogant after allowing his chauffeur to park his £50,000 Land Rover in a space reserved for the disabled.There were plenty of other places available just a few yards away as the Tory Chancellor was dropped off for a burger at an M4 service station.But Mr Osborne was obviously far too important to waste valuable seconds – and the bright-yellow markings on the restricted bay were brazenly ignored.Richard Hawkes, chief executive of the disability charity Scope claimed the incident “shows how wildly out of touch the Chancellor is with disabled people in the UK”.He said: “They will see this as rubbing salt in their wounds."Many are already struggling to make ends meet, yet the Chancellor’s response has been to cut vital financial support and squeeze local care budgets.”
