These Republicans holding out in the House are our 300 Spartans.

I am so proud of Duncan Hunter - my first choice for Republican nominee. But that ship has sailed.

That fool Pelosi is trying to delay all this until her master Obambi is elected, at which time the Soros-socialist dem party will immediately kill the American capitalist-based economy and replace it with a government-based economy.

“house speaker nancy pelosi has the power to shut off microphones and still video cameras...”

so did uncle adolf and uncle joe stalin. (whoever heard of an american who favored a “fairness doctrine” who cuts off cameras and microphones in order to prevent an opposing point of view from being disseminated?”-sounds like the totalitarian game is afoot by psychotic, adolescent, arrogant and obnoxious left-wing democrats.)

imho

Now, now, Ms. Pelosi, surely you’ve learned the difference between giving something away and leasing it somewhere along the way.

Not just in your opinion. It is a fact. Everyone with eyes to see, ears to hear and brains to think KNOWS that the Democrats are fascists and Pelosi is Mussolini in drag.

I don’t understand why they don’t send video from the floor by cell phone and show it on a big screen on the Capitol steps. Every time one member gets busted another can call in. They managed to get both picture and sound out on Friday. Failing that, they could establish their own news service with ‘reporters’ coming out to the steps every few minutes to give updates. Speakers should repeat their speeches on the steps, too. Pelosi can limit tv coverage in the chamber, but she can’t stop demonstrations on the steps. The MSM couldn’t ignore such a public event forever.

I agree completely. This fire won’t catch if we can’t get video out to the public.

They should talk more about the fact that the Capitol, is the *Peoples* House, *Not* Pelosi & Reids Dictatorial Politboro, where they and they alone, decide the course of the nation. It is NOT THEIR RIGHT to *Rule* without the will of the Peoples representation!

Because they passedf rules back in the early 90’s that no cameras other than ones con trolled by the leadership, are allowed in the houses of Congress, and at this time, that means Pelosi controls the switch to the Cameras C-SPAN has, and the Capitol police are charged with making sure no one else brings any cameras in.

They need to do a better job of coordinating Congressmen and others, who go into the House, coming out in a stream, so that there’s allways someone outside, reporting on the highlights of the speeches and interviews with visitors.
Keep an all daty dialog going in front of the outside podium for an internet feed, if none of the corrupt Press wont send anyone to cover it, or, like CBS, who only came to make MoveOn look good.

Not just saying NO to a vote but saying NO to a debate on our energy emergency.

Pelosi proved the dems are incapable of leadership and the voters are noticing.

For this movement to catch fire, the common folk need to show up at the Capital Building everyday and let it be known where we stand. Camp out on the Mall. What ever it takes. The media will show up then.

Build it and they will come.

“I don’t understand why they don’t send video from the floor by cell phone and show it on a big screen on the Capitol steps...Pelosi can limit TV coverage in the chamber, but she can’t stop demonstrations on the steps. The MSM couldn't’t ignore such a public event forever.”

They can't send video from the floor because Ms. Pelosi has stated it would be “illegal.” She can stop demonstrations on the steps, and the MSM can indeed ignore it forever. Doubt my word? Wait and see what happens when the GOP takes it to the next level and “Madame Chairman” issues arrest warrants. I've worked for her type in this town for many years. Dissenting opinion is not only perceived as treason, but also equated with spousal infidelity. The reaction will be vindictive, cruel, and cataclysmic.

Hey I *like* that idea! The word should be put out to get as many people that can come, come not just to visit, but to hold a daytime vigil for the Peoples House! Every day till there’s a vote...Get as many people who can to show up next weekend to chant for the Democrats to fulfill their oaths and do their duty to the People of the Unites States.

Speaking of fire they could make a bunch of Reid and Pelousie dolls and burn them in an oil can every hour on the front steps. They can use the gay Act Up play book and do it on the steps. I'm sure they can get a lot of help from the public maybe let the visitors burn the dolls in support.

Pelosi and Reid are two of the most prominent idiots I have seen in the Democrat Party in my lifetime.

I predict she will soon be tossed out on her backside.
