Ah, the good ol’ days.

A few more like her and maybe the Republicans could find their spine.

She has a bigger set than most of the guy Rs. Hrmm, if you can excuse my crudeness.

The Democrats are denying a servicemember’s words to be heard in Congress. That’s simply ridiculous.

***why is the Congress like a high school auditorium? Are they 16 year olds?***

How dare you slander the nation’s teenagers like that! ;^)

So let me get this straight, when she said that, congress got in an uproar and wanted her to take it back but Chuck Schumer disses our troops and there is no uproar. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1891680/posts
When are the republicans going to grow a spine?

“Awesome, of course they’ll want her words stricken from the record. But, they had to hear it.”

They heard it alright, did not like it and promptly sent it to the memory hole. Don’tcha just love modern technology? It really does prevent that from happening now.

If there is ever a big fist fight on the floor like we have all seen in so many world govt. bodies, you can be sure it will be a foaming at the mouth Dem who starts it, flailing his or her fist like a little girl and sreeching hysterically.

Yes, this was a while back. And after all the flak about it, she did apologize and ask that it be removed from the official record. Wasn’t that back when the Rs forced the Ds into a vote on Murtha’s “cut n run” resolution? Didn’t Murtha vote against his own resolution? The Ds made such a stink about the whole vote. I recall that it almost got physical at one point.

This was at the end of 2005, early in December if I recall, when we first started to hear about Lard-A$$ (name courtesy of Mark Levin) John Murtha, so the Republicans decided to have a vote on it. Congresswoman Schmidt's words were near the start of the debate, it did almost get physical, and in the end, Murtha voted against his own resolution (basically the Pubs took Murtha's words and put it into a resolution and brought it to the floor), and the final vote was 403-3 against a pullout. Of course, the Democrats called it a "political stunt" and the DriveBy Media gave them cover.

Yes, it is coming back clearly. I remember FReeping and listening at the same time.

I am trying to remember which Dem it was that came at Rep. Schmidt, yelling at her about what she said. One of the Pubbies got in front of her, IIRC.

Oh the drama.

I just remembered the media fawning all over “war-hawk” Murtha turning against the war, and how he was the standard of how the war was going. How, if Murtha, who was known to be such a “hawk” had “suddenly” soured on the war, we must give up immediately and call the troops home.

It was such a bunch of hooey.

Watch and listen to Jean Schmidt and then watch and listen to Chuck Schumer. What a damn disgrace our Congress is!

Thanks!

Good for her. She put the voice of our soldiers into the record and exposed the Rats for what they are.

This was about 2-3 years ago. I agree with her still though. :)
