GOP Leadership Prioritizes Corporate Welfare Over Defunding Planned Parenthood

By Jim DeMint, July 27, 2015 Daily Signal

It’s hard to believe what happened in Washington this weekend.

The U.S. Senate attached an amendment resurrecting a dead corporate welfare program to the highway bill while refusing to even allow a vote to end taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood.

Conservatives have been fighting to stop the Export-Import Bank, which is a taxpayer-financed bank that loans billions of dollars to foreign companies and countries to buy products from big corporations like GE, Caterpillar and Boeing.

GOP Candidates: Restock The Supreme Court, Amend The Constitution

By Ryan Lovelce, Jun. 26, 2015, Washington Examiner

Republican presidential candidates say stocking the Supreme Court with conservatives and considering a constitutional amendment to give states the right to regulate marriage are two ways the GOP can fight back against Friday's ruling that legalized gay marriage around the country.

Both ideas, coincidently, would require voters to put one of these candidates in the White House in 2017.

Both Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said shoring up the highest court in the land needs to be a top priority for the next Republican president.

"While I disagree with this decision, we live in a republic and must abide by the law," Rubio said. "As we look ahead, it must be a priority of the next president to nominate judges and justices committed to applying the Constitution as written and originally understood."

Rubio said the question of same-sex marriage is more about "definition of an institution, not the dignity of a human being."

Perry made an outright pledge to appoint the right justices to the court were he to win the White House.
