Here is video of Democrat Rep. John Dingell being asked what he would do if he could use a “magic wand” to change things in Congress. Dingell went immediately to the U.S. Senate, saying it is slower than a “snail,” and faulted the 60-vote cloture rule for making it very difficult to get anything done. Dingell said the rule has made the Senate “undemocratic.” It’s interesting that Democrats are all worried about the cloture rule when they are in the majority. But when they were in the minority, they did everything they could to block the agenda of President George...

Rep. John Dingell (D-Michigan): "The simple fact of the matter is people are afraid, they're frustrated and a lot times they don't know really who they're mad at. For example, they're mad at everybody and they're not particularly upset about Wall Street."

Marxist democrats say the darndest things, and I’m not talking about Mr Gaffetastic, Joe “Big F****ing Deal” Biden who is liable to say anything, at anytime. Two words: Impeachment insurance! No…this time I’m talking about a working Marxist communist, Congressman John Dingell, who is absolute proof we need term limits and we need them yesterday. This guy has been a member of the House of Representatives since 1955 and his dad held the seat before that.... .... Rep. John Dingell, Sr.), made an amazing admission during a live telephone interview with Detroit WJR News/Talk 760 radio talk show host Paul...

I just got a heads up from a friend of mine, a dad with a special needs child and he was livid. On WJR today Paul W. Smith was Interviewing John Dingell. He said something to the effect in regards to the opposition that: It takes time to control the people.Paul W has a delay on posting the audio file(s) on WJR.My questions:Did anyone hear it? Did anyone record it?Does anyone have a subscription to Rush 24-7 and all the talkers subscriptions to give them a heads up, my friend can't swing financially and asked me to get the word...

Keith Ellison, widely hailed as America's first Muslim congressman, could more accurately be described as CAIR and Hamas' man in Congress. Congressman Ellison has been a regular presence at CAIR fundraisers and at pro-Hamas rallies in the United States. As a former member of Farrakhan's Nation of Islam , Ellison has enough anti-semitic and Islamist credentials to satisfy anyone, and had expressed openly anti-semitic beliefs in the past. Since Ellison got his start with CAIR , his attempt to provide support for Hamas is completely unsurprising. Both Hamas and CAIR are projects of the Muslim Brotherhood, which also helped...

Here is video of Democrat Rep. John Dingell on The Ed Show last night where he drew a comparison between the anti-ObamaCare protesters he is facing to Ku Klux Klan members who he said showed up at meetings in the 1960's. The Democrats don't grasp the level of anger average Americans feel toward what they are doing. They just keep stoking the fires, and digging a deeper hole for themselves. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Mike Sola of Michigan demands that U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-Michigan) explain why his son Scott, who has cerebral palsy, would not be covered under health insurance reform legislation. They were later escorted out by police.

Here is amazing video from a Town Hall Event held by Democrat Congressman John Dingell of Michigan, where he was asked if the current Democrat Health Care Bill had a provision for "Tort Reform," speaking of the huge number of frivilous lawsuits against doctors that drive the cost of Health Care up. Dingell's Response - "The Congress can only handle so much at one time." I kid you not! The crowd just erupted in groans and laughter when he said that, and then followed with shouts of "Shame! Shame on you!" He was also asked why Democrats want to install...

I am reposting these from last night for the morning people. I attended the John Dingell Town Hall for Health Care last night in Romulus Michigan. Congressman Dingell did not promote the event at all, yet there were easily 600+ people for a meeting hall that would only fit 150. People waited outside for 90 minutes for a second session that followed the first. I was able to get into the second session and tape the following videos. Watch John Dingell Town HallMore Reaction to the Health Care BillThe front rows were mostly filled with Dingell supporters. Funny that none...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Democratic lawmakers reached agreement on Tuesday on proposed "cash-for-clunkers" legislation as part of a broader effort to fight climate change, lawmakers said. Rep. John Dingell, a Michigan Democrat and other lawmakers from automaking states want the climate change bill to include a provision encouraging owners of less fuel-efficient cars to trade them in for cars that use less gasoline.

Sitting chairmen are nearly impossible to depose, never mind one with the seniority and record of Mr. Dingell, who has served longer than anyone else in the House. The Democratic caucus nonetheless stripped him of his 28-year position atop the Energy and Commerce Committee, which has great power over the climate change and health-care bills that Mr. Obama hopes to pass next year. Instead, California's Henry Waxman, who was elected by a reported 137 to 122, will do the honors. (We say "reported" because the vote was by secret ballot, which in a rich irony Democrats want to prevent for...

(The Politico) Rep Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) has won round one in his bid to unseat Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) as chairman of the powerhouse commerce committee. Waxman won a critical preliminary vote on the Dem's steering committee vote 25-22. The vote goes to the full caucus, likely tomorrow. A steering win doesn't always translate into a caucus victory -- but it's a big step for Waxman. Dingell supporters downplayed the Wednesday vote, arguing the Democrats' Steering and Policy Committee is misrepresentative of the broader caucus. "We're in a much stronger position with the rank-and-file," Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Doyle said on...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promised that by the end of last week he would show Republicans his proposal to deal with "this speculation thing" that he calls the root cause of $4-a-gallon gasoline. It would attempt "to end speculation on the oil markets." By week's end, Republicans had seen nothing of Reid's plan because of internal Democratic disagreement on details. Plus, Democratic leaders were focused Monday on denouncing President Bush's lifting of the executive ban on offshore oil drilling. Still, plenty of other Democratic legislative proposals floated around Capitol Hill, claiming to resolve the nation's gasoline woes by regulating...

I wonder how those labor unions working in the auto industry feel about all those donations to democrats now? Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., who opposed the Senate provision and had fought to instead pass a more auto industry-friendly fuel economy measure, said one reason for his effort's failure was growing public concern about global warming. "The public wants action, rightfully so, on global warming," Levin said in an interview. And he added, the auto industry is "a juicy target. This is the first of many stupidities that will be laid at the feet of 'global warming' - the new cash...

MIDLAND, Mich. -- For three-quarters of a century, industrial Michigan was a linchpin of the nation's labor movement. It was the birthplace of the United Auto Workers and home to such labor icons as Jimmy Hoffa and the Reuther brothers. Generations of Michiganders grew up believing that tough unions would protect jobs and secure higher incomes. It has therefore been an unlikely place to ban the closed shop -- that is, the practice of forcing employees to join a union as a condition of taking a job. But that may be changing. There is now a serious push to do...

WASHINGTON - The Senate voted Thursday to increase fuel economy standards to 35 miles per gallon for cars and SUVs, the first significant boost demanded of automakers in nearly 20 years.

Counting on Failure, Energy Chairman Floats Carbon Tax WASHINGTON, July 6 — A powerful House Democrat said on Friday that he planned to propose a steep new “carbon tax” that would raise the cost of burning oil, gas and coal, in a move that could shake up the political debate on global warming. The proposal came from Representative John D. Dingell of Michigan, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and it runs directly counter to the view of most Democrats that any tax on energy would be a politically disastrous approach to slowing global warming. But Mr. Dingell,...

Energy Policy: MoveOn.org targets Michigan Democrat John Dingell for his reluctance to increase fuel economy standards. Maybe he knows higher standards won't promote energy independence or save the earth. Rep. Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has been protective of the auto industry and skeptical over the effectiveness of higher corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards in fighting global warming. He has resisted fighting climate change on the backs of a beleaguered U.S. auto industry, at least as long as countries like China and India are allowed to build cars and roads without any environmental restrictions. If...
