Really it's hard to know where the Republican Party ends and the Tea Party begins.

We do not need to end Medicare. We don't need to throw people who are younger than 55 years old to the wolves which is what we do.

Every woman needs to know the facts. And the fact is, when it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk.

This sordid affair has become an unacceptable distraction for Representative Weiner, his family, his constituents and the House - and for the good of all, he should step aside and address those things that should be most important - his and his family's well-being.

It's time ... the Republican Party end the war on women they started. Whether it's the Blunt-Rubio amendment, personhood or attempts to repeal Roe v. Wade, we aren't going to let extremist politicians dictate to women what we can or cannot do with our bodies.

Unfortunately, the Republican leadership in the House right now seems to have been strangled by the tea party.
