Pelosi Goes Nuts after Loosing Several Votes

PELOSI LOWERS THE BOOM

After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.

The Democratic Leadership is threatening to change the current House Rules regarding the Republican right to the Motion to Recommit or the test of germaneness on the motion to recommit. This would be the first change to the germaneness rule since 1822.

In protest, the House Republicans are going to call procedural motions every half hour.

There is no-way in Hell I'd ever vote for a Democrat again after this... EVER, EVER, EVER. And, they just activated the Bonedigger Protest Bumper Sticker Corporation. Believe me, I've turned some heads, LOL...

 

I'll buy one from you Ben!

 

I would say it is unbeleiveable that they would seek to overturn a 185 year old rules in order to raise taxes and inflate the budget

 

Demo's all blow/no show!

In the House of Representatives, the focus should be on the difficulty Pelosi is having in running the House, splits within Democrat ranks on Iraq and her boast that she we will oversee "the most ethical Congress ever."

While in the Senate, the Democrats yesterday demonstrated, once again, that they neither have the votes for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq nor a real policy on the war. Wednesday's vote to cut off funding by March 31, 2008, was voted down 67-29, with 19 Democrats joining every Republican in opposing the measure, which was submitted as an amendment to an unrelated bill.

The Democrats, in other words, remain trapped in the land of symbolism over the war. Taking up the responsibility that the "power of the purse" gives them does not seem to be on the agenda. They'd rather posture, appeasing their party's left wing without taking ownership of war policy.

 

I don't have much respect for anyone who roots for either the republican or democratic parties as presently constituted.

 

Nancy is nothing more then another leftist that wants to me a dictator for she knows what is best for all.

Send her to France.

Nope can't do, they elected a conservative who is pro-american.

Well I guess we have to keep our own anti-americans.
