Prolifers: get ready to be played for suckers again. After that big showy “defunding of Planned Parenthood” last week, done to impress the troops and keep them on the reservation, we get this:
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) today would not rule out that the Republican House leadership would permit taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood in the final continuing resolution that Congress must enact to keep the government funded through the rest of fiscal year 2011, which runs through Sept. 30.
They. Don’t. Care. They will do whatever the strongest political wind tells them is expedient. I hope we get lucky and they stick with the showmanship. But I won’t be a bit surprised if they don’t. Because they don’t care.
