I am elizabeth warren's suicidal diaphragm.

Quote:Elizabeth Warren: The government shutdown was over birth control

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Tuesday blamed last October's government shutdown on Republicans wanting to deny women access to birth control.

No really. Warren said this on the Senate floor while defending the Democrats' deceptively titled “Women's Health Protection Act.”

“Remember last year's government shutdown that nearly tanked our economy?” Warren asked. “That fight started with a GOP effort to hold the whole operation of the federal government hostage in order to try to force Democrats and the president to let employers deny workers access to birth control.”

Um, no, sorry.

The government shutdown occurred over a continuing resolution to fund the government since no budget could be agreed upon. Republicans used the opportunity to try and defund Obamacare.

Republicans were upset over the Obama administration's selective enforcement of certain provisions in Obamacare. The main problem the GOP had at the time was the announcement of a delay in the employer mandate.

Warren appears to be getting her claim from a 2011 Huffington Post article, which said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the House would not vote for any spending bill containing funding for Planned Parenthood.

But that was 2011, and the government shutdown was in 2013.

Linky

This would be comical if these tactics didn't work on so many dumbasses in this country.

Yep, people will be lining up to claim the exact same thing. Repeat a lie often enough, it becomes fact.

Yep and Politico only said something after Megyn Kelley ripped he a new one.

Still, the amount of silly people in this country that believe what Nancy Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren have to say is mind blowing.

I have to agree with oklalittledixie here. There are a ton of people (especially women) who are buying into what Nancy Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren are saying. They believe Harry Reid that this case was decided by five white men (Clarence Thomas is apparently a caucasian) who apparently hate women.

Augusta Country Club needs to ensure Clarence Thomas has a membership
just as a reminder, even if he doesn't play golf.

Eliz. Warren is the biggest threat other than Obama that I can think of for
this country.
