HARRIS: SEND WOMEN TO GITMO FOR MILITARY TRIALS

(Dissociated Press) In a speech on the House floor yesterday, Andy Harris volunteered the First District of Maryland for a GOP pilot project - outlaw poor women. 


"We have had to retreat from gutting middle class Medicare (See Source, below) but not poor people's Medicaid," Harris said, "so my proposal is both logical and doable." 


"We want to balance the budget by reducing services, right? So let's eliminate poverty by making it illegal to seek services without paying full freight."


"The poor are not real Americans or they would not be poor."


"Any poor woman who needs medical care is the same as a Commie, to me."


"Since we cannot get ride of the programs, let's eliminate the people causing the problem. Just make them illegal, turn them into criminals." 


"I propose we empower the sheriff to round up all of the women who receive services at the two Planned Parenthood clinics in my district, in Easton and Salisbury, and send these women to Guantanamo for trial. I hear there is room there."

"On Thursday, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) told reporters that he was not planning on holding any hearings about Ryan's proposal. "I'm not really interested in just laying down more markers," said Camp, acknowledging that Ryan's plan to give "premium support" vouchers to future Medicare retirees was a non-starter.  (see also http:// /2011/05/05/health-care-repeal-dead-republican_n_858015.html?view=print )
