PELOSI LOWERS THE BOOM Wed May 16 2007 14:43:59 ET
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.
Developing...
If it doesn’t fall off, it’ll grow!
It's fairly easy to throw a monkey wrench into the works when you have a slight minority, and when you have a slight majority you need to be very careful to keep things moving smoothly. If the majority wants to be partisan, the minority will automatically be partisan.

Seig Heil! Dictator Pilosi . . .
Doesn't that just bring back memories of Cold War Socialist phraseology?

They did not win fair and square. They won because they did nothing but sling mud and put the values voters to sleep. That and the illegal aliens, dead people and muslims all voted for them.
The Rats in the House will win every vote so just let them and then block it in the Senate including their budget proposals then if the Republicans in the Senate won’t block them then a few vetoes are in order.
“Yes”
16 Congressional districts made that decision - all the talk of a mandate is used food.
So let me get this straight, she's trying to prevent GOP congressman from voting against her ideas, and she's also trying to keep the masses uninformed.
Hmmmmmmmm, does anyone else smell what I'm smelling?
Every half hour eh?
LMAO
Looks like NOTHING is gonna get done in the House! I am SO GLAD!
wow, i guess now the approval rating for congress will be in the single digits now...
This miserable witch is the greatest threat to the United States since the War of 1812. She’s not going to be content until every American owns and has memorized the complete works of Karl Marx.
NEVER EVER give up. Fight them until your dying breath. Our children deserve better than what these people have in store for us.
I didn't say they were exactly honest, but for whatever reason we didn't keep them out of power. The Republican party needs to get on the ball if we don't want this to continue.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa, outstanding leadership you’re showing there, Nan!
Learn that directly from Uncle Joe or did you just read about him?
The ‘Pubbies should have been pounding the Democrats the same way when they were in charge. But NOOOOO! it might have hurt someone’s feelings...
