"Did we find any wrongdoing? The answer was no," Chaffetz said."



But true to form, Chaffetz added that he still supports digging into Planned Parenthood's activities, even if they're using their money appropriately.

"I think there will continue to be investigations," he said.

GOP Probe Into Planned Parenthood Funding Comes Up Empty

Of course there will be. Because "investigations" are all the GOP knows how to do. It's what they think governing means.

The PP inquiry is yet another waste of time.[/quote]Well,, Maybe Taxpayer's might demand results when spending millions on such wasted investigations...Course They make excuses..BUT IF Dems did that..THEY WOUD DEMAND PAYFOR appropriations for such a review..Yikes..Benghazi has more investigative hearings than the WARREN REPORT ( post Kennedy assignation ) to conclude things...maybe even Nixon Tapes investigations..no way did that go one for 2 years+!!


[quote=LexusNexus;41493526]The GOP has nothing to offer the country as proof that any of them belong in the White House or in Congress or in any positions of power.

Dysfuntion is the term of the day ( for past 5 years!!!)..Course somehow Congress hasn't demanded pay for legislation to pay for such waste of time and taxpayer costs!!

And GOP expects American Citizens to expect GOP as it exists today to do anything but run their Country into the ground financially and ethically viable??

Sorry..but watching what has been happening is not reassuring one bit!

Oh, puleeeze!

Doing wrong is a value judgement and not a judgement for the Congress to decide, especially this Congress.

Deciding who one must do business with is a value judgement also.

Most civil rights laws are based on value judgements.

The PP hearings were nothing but political grandstanding to stir up their base.

Allow me to repeat with emphasis added!

Doing wrong is a value judgement and not a judgement for the Congress to decide, especially this Congress.

And especially when your judgement is based upon bogus information and when you call the head of PP to testify instead of listening to the answer to questions asked you instead interrupt for the sole purpose of pontificating your bogus information.

Benghazi, Planned Parenthood, Government shutdowns, just to name three. This party is not only an embarrassment to the workings of a democratic government, they are a cancer to its very health.
The House voted to repeal Obamacare 57 times. So they want to investigate PP half that much. What really has the GOP accomplished with full power of the legislature?

In other words value judgements are fine as long as they agree with your values.

I love it when folks try to rewrite my comments especially when their isn't any ambiguity in what I wrote when I wrote whatever the first time.

So, allow me to repeat once again:

...when your judgement is based upon bogus information and when you call the head of PP to testify instead of listening to the answer to questions asked you instead interrupt for the sole purpose of pontificating your bogus information.
