Lovin’ that “CHANGE” yet?......................
The Republicans don’t know how to use power when they are in charge. The Democrats know how to wield power, whether in control of Congress or not.
Well, gee golly gosh, Roy, did you expect anything different from the Democrats? Rats see that it isn’t about cocktail parties and being loved, Roy. It’s about POWER. It’s about furthering your agenda. It’s about *winning*. When the wheel finally turns and you get back in power—if you ever get back in power—you’d damned well best remember that and crush the Rats instead of sucking up to them. It’s what they’ll do to you.

Was there a roll call vote?
“Her Plan to Shackle the GOP”
####
The gutless foofs in the Republican party, wholly bereft of any gonadal mass could be easily shackled and subdued by great grandma Hermoine and her friend Mabel on a break from their knitting bee.
Support GOP nominee Dana Walsh against Pelosi!!!
It’s democracy, folks. The American people elected these bums to lead us. It’s their legal right to do. OK; go ahead. Lead. Let them pass their legislation.
Either it does the country good, and we all benefit (yeah, right) or it does the country harm. It’s up to the American people to act appropriately.
I believe we should let them ram through their bad bills. Vote against them, but don’t obstruct them. The dems are going to ruin this country. Right now there is simply no stopping it. If the Republicans try to stop them through obstructionist parliamentarian tactics, guess who is going to get blamed for the disaster?
Republicans have only themselves to blame.
However did this brain damaged woman gain so much control in this country? Talk about the woman riding the beast!
Just more raw sewage from the House of 'Rats.
Yes another 40 years in the desert of RAT total control.
What can the Pubbies do? Don’t show up for the first day’s photo op. Issue press release instead, saying “It’s Obama’s fault”, and explaining the boycott. Vote ‘present’ or ‘abstain’ on every piece of legislationn except military budgets, tax cuts, veterans’ funding, etc. Hold a daily press conference on the steps of the House offering alternative programs to the ones being rammed through, explaining the differences. Blame the Dims for everything that doesn’t work out perfectly.
War to the knife. Knife to the hilt.
This is a dumbass move on Nancy’s part. She’ll now have trouble getting GOP support on anything.
She may have the votes to pass legislation without it, but she knows that doing so has the potential to blow up in her face.
Case in point would be shamnesty. If they were to pass a bill with only RAT support, they would suffer big losses at the ballot box in 2010. (IIRC Nancy has already said that she wont do shamnesty without GOP support.)
Her chances of getting it now are not good. She may have shot herself in the foot.
This is Pelosi’s way of being more bipartisan, remember what she said last year - “But I do tell you that if the Democrats win, and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan”.
As a voting citizen of the U.S., I believe this is unconstitutional. Sure, Congress has the right to make whatever rules it wants on how it conducts its business, but as a Republican constituent, I have as much right to full representation in Congress as a Democratic constituent. If they want to make rules, they should apply to all Congressional members. Republican constituents are not being properly represented in Congress if these rules take effect.
*The former Minority Whip from Missouri also declared that the changes are an “absolute contradiction to everything Barack Obama said” about nonpartisan politics during the campaign.*
We’re all shocked around here, I tell ya’.
She may need to stay focused on trying to shackle the House Democrats. The little spectacle of Obama naming his CIA chief without telling Pelosi in advance, and then basically says “oops, sorry, guess we forgot about you” after she wailed in protest, does not bode well for her consolidation of power. Obama is a lot more popular than Pelosi, as well as having more formal political power come January 20. I’m sure the protocol breach wasn’t accidental, and I’m sure House Democrats duly noted it.
It took less than two years of Clinton and a Dem Congress to result in a Repub takeover of Congress in the next election.
Somehow I can’t help feeling that the Communists Party (RATS) have finally taken American by the ba!!s and will do so much damage we may never recover without a huge uprising. Kiss conservatism goodbye.
