I am checking my Time-Warner Cable Channels for C-Span - Channel 60: Is for coverage on the Senate, so I clicked, guess who was on???? - Harry, The Undertaker Reid!!!!!! What a puss on that gavone!!!!!! Channel 70: Coverage for the House, nothing on, what happened??????/Just Asking - seoul62.......
Any update from Boehner’s office about how many of our Representatives are actually on the floor now, fighting for America’s sovereign right to use her own resources?
Kissinger gave the instructions to the Arabs in the early 1970’s from the globalists about the globalists’ decision to make them wealthy in exchange for buying our debt. Iraq and Iran refused.
This latest sequence of traitorousness was predicted years ago . . . check out Lindsey Williams—North Slope chaplain’s videos on YOUTUBE.
Just talked about it on the ABC news break in between the Rush show. ABC played it off as though the Republicans were desperate, and doing a dirty thing.

Pelosi , D-Calif., didn’t seem inclined to do anything to bring the GOP’s off-the-books filibuster to an end.
“The House is in adjournment. The lights are off, the mikes are off,’’ said Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly. “They can talk all they want. We’re just doing what we normally do.’’
But Pelosi’s staff did try to minimize the amount of attention the rump filibuster was getting.
They ordered the staff of the press gallery to lock the doors to the balcony overlooking the chamber, as is the usual practice when the House is not in session.
So, GOP members started a shuttle system, taking turns moving from floor to gallery to join reporters as they watched the proceedings.
Around 12:30 p.m., the bright TV lights in the chamber were turned off, as Chief Deputy Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., was speaking.
Cantor didn’t miss a beat, declaring, “Turn off the lights, turn off the mikes, kick out the press because they [the Democrats]don’t want to deal with this important issue.”

does anyone have a phone number for FOX news DC desk?
Seems a necessity, as apparently there are a good many who do not understand the majority party sets the rules/procedures for each House. It is not fair to blame C-SPAN for not having the cameras on, blasting "un-American," etal. These kinds of comments were made during the Clinton years, when C-SPAN would leave a House hearing investigating WH shenanigans in order to comply with its mandate to broadcast the House when in Session, Lamb getting all manner of "He's biased!" charges, no matter how many times it is explained that C-SPAN covers the Floor of the House when IN SESSION and leaves it when the House ADJOURNS.
Yep and we better watch our collective backs because the liberals are doing everything they can to fix this "problem"
Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet - I haven’t read the entire thread. John Culberson (R- TX) has a Twitter page with text message updates from his Blackberry and a qik page with video uploaded from his blackberry. Last message from 5 minutes ago: “We are still going strong on the House floor”

No CSPAN coverage...yet.
Dammit, people, we need John Galt NOW! Or, failing that, Mr. Smith.
The Republican party needs to turn this whole thing into an ad...including saying that the Dem's turned off the lights and shut down the camera's so the American people could not see the debate. Stifling debate, refusing to do what can be done to lower gas prices, this is the Democratic party.
Pelosi's Politburo - That name should stick
Please attach phone numbers to posts if you can...I will call anyone and everyone ...just give a number..
That would be sweeeeeet!
That is the only thing the DEMONcrats understand.
House Dems turn out the lights but GOP keeps talking
Read teh updates.
“Rush updating now...praising Mike Pence, who says he will stay as long as needed. Up to 40 members there”

Any reports of the Iowa reps being there or not?
