House Votes to Stop Student Loan Rates from Doubling

Today the House "ignored a veto threat" and passed a measure to stop new student loan rates from doubling this summer.

Thank you Speaker Boehner! We need more Republicans to call these Democrats out on their lies!

Rape ,incest and life-threatening pregnancies are 0.0001 percent of the issue and therefore a red herring. Those aren't the abortions we are talking about.

The Constitution doesn't grant you the right to kill babies. Even if I wasn't a religious person I wouldn't support killing the most innocent and vulnerable amongst us. If YOU inconvenience me I don't have the 'right' to kill you, no matter how good it may make my life.

You can call any action a 'right' but that doesn't make it one.

Boehner/McConnell/Cantor/Ryan are some of the worst politicians every to be in congress and have done a great job at getting Nothing DONE as far as passable legislation and to think these slim balls will get paid for life and get free healthcare while they have fucked over the American people is nothing less than treason.

Each and everyone of us is drawn out by our own desire, some say try removing the rafter from our own eye before removing the straw from our brothers. The living god hates fornication a sin, yet no mention of this subject which is the real cause. Somehow you justify your sins by persecuting others for their sins. I hate sin as I am a slave to it; so which sin is the worst among all sin?

how did we get here? lets see, campaign funding and lobbying from ALEC, tobacco, and the tanning industry. that's how we got here u putz. go look at his district map. look at how it only covers rich rural high income houses and dodges urban downtown areas. he may hit a few black votes in huber heights that looks to be only about 10% of his district, if that. look how it avoids the west side of Dayton,full of black voters. look how it stops before entering downtown Cincinnati.
