Actually- the reason I posted the House Rules in the first place was to learn if creative freepers could look for a way around them so we could hit the opposition HARD. Madame Speaker is in Philadelphia today at a $12 per person "book signing" meeting. If she learns there's enough "disruption" (something she lauded yesterday in an interview- refering to the founders) back in D.C. she may change her mind.
Don't make the rules the issue! Go on the offensive! Just pound away on WHAT THE DEMS ARE DOING.....use words like "suppression", "stifling the peoples' right to know", "stifling freedom of speech", "blackout on information", "turning out the lights during a crisis", "dictatorship", "Lucretia Borgia"...take the offensive and let the Dems go on the defensive sputtering about the rules, blah, blah.
Unlike us freepers, few know about all the rules and powers of the Speaker. Ignore references to the rules. Get right at the bread and potatoes.
What the lumpen American masses thrive on and understand are buzz words and phrases like those above. The Dems use them all the time. The Pubs have GOT to start using them, also, and go on the attack!
They're probably doing that right now on the floor and we....or nobody.....are allowed to hear them. The Spider Woman rules!
