In other words, "Nancy wants a bill that's TOTAL CRAP."

Now now, bipartisan and working together are the current keywords to strive for. LOL

The Democrats really need to get this guy into a leadership position. If they do that, we Republicans are sunk for sure. Oh how, oh how I hope the Democrats don't put Jack Murtha into a leadership position!!!

"Even though I think it's total crap, I'll vote for it and pass it because that's what Nancy wants,"

ROTFLMAO!

That's Murtha's idea of a real leader, "whatever Nancy wants, Nancy gets."

Does anyone else feel like we're living in the Twilight Zone?

Since X42 lied [under oath] to a Federal Grand Jury and a Federal Judge and the American people loved him for it, accepted the pundits "it was all about sex" and marveled at his nuanced; "IT ALL DEPENDS WHAT THE MEANING OF THE WORD, IS.....IS!"

...........I believe we have been in it [Twilight Zone] somewhere!

Yes. It's almost surreal. They don't even take charge officially until January, do they?
