eric cantor and other republican leaders quickly blamed democrats for falling off. but the embarrassing fact is that 62 republicans an quarter of the republican caucus voted against the bill supported by the leadership. and groups like jim demint s heritage action group cheered its defeat. here s how nancy pelosi responded to criticism from the right. you know, it s always interesting to me when people blame other people for their own failures. if we ever came to you when we had the majority and said we didn t pass a bill because we didn t get enough republican votes, well you know, that s really it s silly. it s sad. it s juvenile. it s unprofessional. it s amateur hour. it s a lot of things. there are only 24 democrats voted for the bill because a last-minute republican amendment turned off the democrats. it s a hugely embarrassing episode for john boehner. it doesn t bode well for the prospects of the house passing

that is the assumption. i am telling you that would be like me telling you i m going to put you through repairtive therapy to help you learn you cannot be a man, you can be a woman. you know you re a man. does it ever work? it does not work. this is something it the american psychological association has been talking, 15 years ago they came out in opposition to this establishing this does not work looking at study after study. the people who go through it as you heard, first of all, just being as you mentioned, chris, being gay or lesbian still today in 2013, the sentence especially among younger people who haven t come out yet and don t have a community of support, the incidents of drug addiction, suicidal thoughts and actions of suicidal acts is significantly higher. then you put them through a religious group like this and not only do they have feel like they re a failure but have a crisis of faith, as well because they re god and the god they believed in has betrayed them. so
that s not what matters or duluth. what matters is the kuculture o intimidation. the culture of intimidationing this president and his allies created around any person or group that spoke up for conservatism. so no, i don t believe that the president ever picked up the phonen an told somebody over at irs to slow walk these applications or audit anybody. but the truth is, he didn t have to. he didn t have to do that. the message was clear enough. let me go to you on this john. i don t know where you stand. but i cover thenous every day. i read the papers in the morning starting at 8:00 in the morning. yet, i had elijah cummings on here. he s ranking member on that committee. he has given us all the evidence he s been able to collect. maybe not enough. of course, we ve listened to everything darrell issa and i have yet to hear one piece of
