Speaker Nancy Pelosi made matters worse when she told reporters, "There was no mistake made last night."

The mistake was made last November, when this absolute brain-dead moron's party became the majority party, and elected this absolute brain-dead moron as the speaker. The fact that she is two heartbeats from the presidency is truly a nightmare. Pray for the continued good health of Pres. Bush and VP Cheney.

Stolen election. Votes don’t matter. Where is the outrage from the tyrannical Left?

They don’t care about democracy, as long as they get their way.

[Old_Mil]

Democrats never let actual democracy interfere with their plans.

Pelosi and Reid lowest rated Congress of all time. Both have lower approval ratings than GW. The do nothing surrender Congress is being watched by middle America and according to their ratings, they do not like what they see. Congress will flip back to the republicans in 2008.

What Congress needs is an enema.

Under pressure, the House unanimously agreed to create a select committee, with subpoena powers, to investigate Republican charges the vote had been "stolen."

1000% bluster! The RATS don't give a sheit about this damned committee. They stole the vote and got away with it. That's all they care about. The rest is just for show.

Anybody else think FR is running kinda slow today?

[gpapa]

It is slow, and I have hi-speed cable.

Ah but, there were many on FR who said that would be a good thing, but what the hey, their animus against mostly Christian people from south of the border lining up and risking their life to take jobs such as cleaning toilets, overtook political logic, all I can say, is welcome to the world you created.

The biggest problem with the Democrats in Congress: they’re too beholden to the MoveOn.org/Michael Moore crowd, and it’s really starting to grate on too many mainstream Democrats.

[rockinqsranch]

Funny you should mention it, but all week FR’s been slow for me and I’m on Dial-up. Tonight it’s working very well for a change. Go figure.

Hi speed or not most of the country is still UNAWARE that The Dems have gone publicly Fascist. 3 days and nothing on msm.

[CyberAnt]

ROTFLOL!!! It was great!! I’d love to see more of it. It’s about time the repubs got passionate about something.

Now .. if we can just get that passion channeled toward securing the border.

[BigFinn]

I say give every one of these career politicians the boot ... and good. Vote the whole lot out and start over. Get someone in there that wants to do good for the Republic and not for themselves. Out I say.

[Old Flat Toad]

Voted out the door just isn’t harsh enough. The punishment has to fit the crime. This was not a coup attempt to take over the legislative branch, but it could sure be used as a test for one. They got caught and the smoking gun vote was ditched. All the Lib constitutional holier than thou guardians are absolutely silent, and they need to be called on it. If there is no consequences it will be tried again. Giving them a year to experiment with it isn’t acceptable.

Democrats ruled that a GOP motion had failed even though, when the gavel fell, the electronic score board showed it winning 215-213 along with the word FINAL. The presiding officer, Rep. Mike McNulty (D., N.Y.), actually spoke over the clerk who was trying to announce the result.

Just a little taste of what awaits us in 2008.

What Congress needs is an enema

No, what Congress needs is a defective fire alarm and sprinkler system and about a dozen sloppy 4 pack a day smokers wandering around.

[saganite]

Funny how border security is a winning issue for Republicans right now. How do you explain that one?

[Leatherneck_MT]

“What Congress needs is an enema.”

Best solution I’ve heard in decades.
