2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What exactly will not voting for the nominee accomplish? [View all]Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts). . . not 1 single bill was presented in either House to overturn Roe v Wade.
Such a bill as that would have been sent by the fastest courier in Washington D.C. straight to President Bush's desk, and signed before lunchtime that very day!!
So, why didn't it happen?
Because the Republicans have been huffing and bluffing about overturning Roe v Wade for over 30 years!!
In the early part of this century, the Republicans were caught with their pants down, looking like deer caught in the headlights . . . they were paralyzed.
They had the power, they had the majority in BOTH Houses of Congress, they had Dimson in the White House --- they controlled the federal government!!
So, why didn't they pass a bill into law to overturn Roe v Wade?
Because it would have removed the single, most effective wedge issue the Republicans use every 2 years when they run for office against Democrats who defend Roe v Wade!!
The Republicans are chickenshits!!
The entire GOP party is made up of chickenshits!!!
