“Republicans want to shut down the government because they think there’s nothing more important than keeping women from getting cancer screenings. This is indefensible and everyone should be outraged,” Harry Reid said on the Senate floor, April 8, 2011

Senator Reid is again demonstrating President Obama’s “New Civility” which was instituted in January 2011.

Senator Reid, Republicans want FREEDOM to CHOOSE where to get their cancer screenings and not be reliant upon Washington, DC for cancer screenings.   The people of the United States do not need to be ruled and controlled from Washington.  We are quite capable of getting along with our lives without power-hungry politicians attempting to control us.  We do not want to force our neighbors to pay for our health care while you control the money and thereby control us.

Does a statement like that represent “The New Civility” that we were told in January was required going forward?  Or was that only for political purposes at the time?

We do not want women to have to wait months for screenings and surgery when needed like the BBC reported was occurring in their state-controlled system.
