Pander first…govern never…

The Angry Black Bitch rips Governor Matt Blunt a new one, and Buddha knows this fuckwit deserves it! Please visit Shark Fu at her blog here-Dusty
Missouri’s nightmare, Governor Matt Blunt, has shown his natural ass…again.
Baby Blunt formed a…well, he’s calling it a task force on the impact of abortion on women.
My people call it bullshit.
The so-called task force is stacked with anti-choice activists. Basically, this anti-abortion gathering is setting out to prove themselves right…and, if Baby Blunt had a fucking clue, he’d know that nothing shat out from this beyond partisan gathering of agreeables is going to be taken seriously.
Cough.
A bitch can’t help but think that mayhap Mr. Blunt Trauma isn’t certain what to do with his time or perhaps he doesn’t realize that there is plenty of other shit he really might want to look into.
Like the shit that has resulted from his inability to govern the state.
Blink.
How about I offer up some suggestions?
Great!
Governor Blunt’s policies have tossed around 150,000 working Missourians into the world of uninsuredness. There are an estimated 700,000 Missourians without health insurance in Missouri and a majority of them are working people who don’t have options.
How about a panel to investigate the impact being uninsured has on women? On children? On people and families and communities?
Hmmm? Hello….?
Okay, well…let’s move on.
The rate of food insecurity in Missouri is rather high. Some 9 percent of households are food insecure…meaning that they are at risk for not having anything to eat despite assistance.
And our Boy Nightmare hasn’t done a damn thing to address the thousands of Missourians (catch thy knee, conservatives, many of these folks are workers)
who realistically fear hunger. And for those who are not working…a bitch believes that supporting a culture of life extends beyond birth and that hunger in America is our great national shame.
Golly, could we get a task force to investigate the impact being food insecure and going hungry has on women…children…people and communities?
Oh, and what about the unemployment situation in Missouri? The one thing that unites Missourians, be we rural or citified, is our collective concern over the exodus of industry and talent from the state.
I sure would like to know the impact an unemployment rate of 5.6 percent has on women, children, people and our communities! And I would hope that that task force would also dip into the issue of low wage jobs, no fucking affordable housing for workers and the decline of benefit providing jobs and how that shit impacts Missourians.
Cough again.
Oh what the fuck am I thinking?
That anti-abortion task force isn’t about making better policy because the Blunt Administration isn’t in the business of people positive policy any more than they
are concerned about women’s health.
Mmmhmmm, what we have here is yet another example of pander first and govern never.
Did I mention that my people call it bullshit?
They done beat the gay marriage horse to death, and they sure as hell can’t run on their record. It appears that the Jesusistan Goppers have decided on abortion as their 2008 dead horse.
I am So fucking sick of this wedge issue. I am really tired of the theocrats using it as their personal mission in life. No one makes anyone get an abortion. No one holds a gun to any woman’s head in order to force her to get an abortion.
Its a personal choice issue, its a privacy issue and finally..its no one else’s fucking business what other women do with their bodies or the decisions they make regarding said body. Its a damn medical procedure.
Perhaps they could go after all the women who get boob jobs, or liposuction..can’t we make that a wedge issue instead?
Between gay marriage and abortion the call of the neocon yearly cycle is getting stale even to those who used to buy into this garbage.
