@deray Thanks for confirming the movement is full of paid leftwing hacks who protest for a living. George Soros has a big wallet.

CRONYISM: THE EX-IM BANK IS A BAD DEAL

The Export-Import Bank is a federal agency that provides credit, insurance, and loans – all guaranteed by U.S. Taxpayers – to foreign and domestic companies in an effort to promote U.S. exports. 

When a company doesn't pay back its loan, American taxpayers foot the bill. When a company earns money from the transaction, it pockets the profits. That's a bad deal.

THREE MARTINI LUNCH: JANUARY 22, 2015

National Review's Jim Geraghty and Radio America's Greg Corombos discuss current events. Today's topics: John Boehner and Bob Menendez defy the White House over Iran, House Republicans pull a bill that protects the unborn after 20 weeks, and Jeb Bush's problematic connections to a corrupt businessman.



House Republicans' Late-Term Abortion Debacle

Dan covered the basics of last night's collapse, which (a) dealt a humiliating procedural black eye to the historically large House Republican majority, and (b) stirred angry howls of betrayal from pro-lifers who worked hard to elect said majority.  Worse still, the two female members whose objections to language in a bill banning most abortions after five months of pregnancy were both elected as pro-life candidates.

By scuttling the vote at the eleventh hour, they managed to hand the Left and their heavily pro-choice media pals a handy narrative about Republicans being too extreme even for the women in their own party.  Quite a feat.  The chamber instead easily passed a less controversial anti-abortion measure, with many members vowing to resurrect the '20 week' legislation as soon as possible.  Press reports suggest that dissension among certain elements of the GOP caucus stemmed from concerns about the verbiage dealing with the rape exception in the proposed law, with other representatives getting cold feet about alienating female voters. 

On the first point, it is hugely embarrassing that Republicans couldn't iron out these differences and strike an acceptable compromise privately.  Instead, leadership was sandbagged by a public fight.  Also, Congresswoman Renee Ellmers -- one of the ringleaders of the group that forced the bill off the agenda this week -- vocally supported a virtually identical measure in 2013.  Hmm...
