snip from CNN.......

Unsuspecting tourists were drafted to fill in seats. “I was surprised,” said Becky Evans, a visitor from Michigan. “We were here for a tour and we were asked to come in and take a seat in the House.”

Evans, a self-described Republican, supported the effort. “The fact that Democrats left before getting their work done is highly disappointing,” she said.

A strange partisan divide evolved in the protest stump. Tourists who were signed up for tours with Republican congressmen and senators were frantically ushered in to fill seats on the chamber floor.

But tourists with passes from Democratic offices watched from above, in the balconies.

“I was not impressed at all,” said Sue Miller from Memphis, Tennessee. “Democrats did not have a chance to defend themselves.”

The chamber was half to two-thirds full during the speeches.

“Democrats did not have a chance to defend themselves.”

BULLSH!T

This has been going on for 8 hours, and any Democratic representative, and the visitors of their choice, are wholly invited to join the party and speak their minds!

The Democrat’s position can’t be defended!!!! I’m so tired of hearing the same talking points cr*p out of these people. I hope they get an earful from their constituents when they go back home.

Typical

The Democrats RAN OFF and tried to shut the business of the United States down.

They have no defense so they chickened out.

Their job is to do what the citizens (their bosses) want; they don't want to do that so they have no right to complain.

Hopefully a vote will be forced.

Nancy is a big baby, a tyrant. "If you are going to vote they way America wants you to, you can't vote." Queen Nancy.

Well Sue....no one forced you to stay. When you are paying 10 a gallon for gas you might see things differently though.
