Since "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.", I and others think it's a good idea to centralize what the goes on in the Senate (or House).
So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor and you don't want to start a new thread to ask if anyone else just heard what you heard, you can leave a short note on who said what and about what and I'll try and find it the next day in THE RECORD. Or if you see a thread that pertains to the Senate, House, or pretty much any GOV'T agency please link your thread here.
If you have any suggestions for this thread please feel free to let me know.
Here's a few helpful links.
C-SPAN what a great thing. Where you can watch or listen live to most Government happenings.
C-SPAN 1 carries the HOUSE.
C-SPAN 2 carries the SENATE.
C-SPAN 3 (most places web only) carries a variety of committee meetings live or other past programming.
OR FEDNET has online feed also.
A great thing about our Government is they make it really easy for the public to research what the Politicians are doing and saying (on the floor anyway).
THOMAS where you can see a RECORD of what Congress is doing each day. You can also search/read a verbatim text of what each Congressmen/women or Senator has said on the floor or submitted 'for the record.' [This is where the real juicy stuff can be found.]
Also found at Thomas are Monthly Calendars for the Senate Majority and Senate Minority
And Monthly Calendars for the House Majority and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
"Human beings are normally this inefficient".
OMG
The way the press lies and disorts and they are condemning anyone else for being inefficient.
Why is this such a big deal? Is it a crime to accidentially spray a hunter and not immediately call the press?
Holy crap.
This is scaring me. Literally.
David, this incident is not that important. David, you are whining.
He's spassing out.
Why are they acting like this is worse then a terrorist attack?
And now we rejoin the David Gregory Show, already in progress...
Me, too!
What part of this was an accident don't they understand???
They know NOTHING about hunting
We knew how bad they were. But this is worse than anything I could even imagine.
From your lips....Actuall, Gregory should not be allowed in these things. He monopolizes without getting any actual information. He just wants to yell at McClellan.
Well, I guess we know what's going to be on the nightly news.
They are "shaping" it right now.
Damn them to hell.
OMG
"Is it appropriate for a private citizen to be the one to disseminate that the VP shot someone".
They are acting like hyenas.
What did the President know and when did he know it. Will they ever get over this? Thank You Howard Baker!
OH my God now they are asking questions off the DU!
Earlier, Camera referred to Mr. Cheney as the "shooter"
"Has he taken a hunting safety course in Texas?"
"Has the VP taken a hunting safety course"
"Will the VP be available to answer questions about this?"
I'm gonna' be the first to say it: Quailgate.
I'd like to 'manage my anger' by pounding Gregory to a pulp... the fool acts like he's 13.
Oh FGS, who cares. Lordy, they want to know if the VP has taken hunting safety courses in Texas.
