Finally: an honest Democratic pol!

That would be N.Y. Rep. Kathy Hochul. At a public meeting discussing the Obamacare mandate that church organizations provide abortion pills "for free," a constituent asked Kath what part of the Constitution gives the gummint power to require a religious or private organization to "pay for anything for free."

Okay, the question wasn't exactly air-tight, but the meaning was clear in context. And Kath replied, "Well, basically, we’re not looking to the Constitution on that aspect of it.”

This caused the audience to react with considerable consternation, which prompted Kath to quickly add "What I mean is, Congress has determined that the government should provide health care for everyone, so..." before falling back on the approved Democrat talking point of "Besides, churches are exempt" and "In any case, they're not required to provide anything, because the insurance company will do it for free."

Ah, well then--guess everything's just fine. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
