Jeepers!
The RAT Party acting like RATS?
No surprise in this.
It took a year for them to determine a simple parlimentary rules issue? And then they release it on a huge news day. Go figure.
Yea...So now what happens?
What was the legislation the democrats screwed us on?
Just like Stalin said, “its not important who votes, its who counts the votes.
That’s my question. What will they do about it? Or will they just ignore it. Our Congress at work.
I thought it was Mayor Daley who said that in 1960?
It took them a YEAR and $500,000 !!!
We are so screwed.

I’ll see if I can find a link to the actual bill.
It was a “Republican Motion to Recommit the Agriculture Appropriations bill” vote that would have “denied taxpayer-funded benefits in that bill from going to illegal immigrants”.
Like many ideas and sayings Democrats use, it came from Stalin.
Stalin was dead in 1960, so he must have said it first.
“Move on people Nothing to see here. LET’S MOVE ON.....”<S
Probably something along the lines of the "inadvertent whistle" in football (that's when the ref decides to ignore instant replay's proving that he was wrong).
I could be mistaken as I am going by memory here, but it’s probably irrelevant now as it was a vote on something about “Shamnesty” which ultimately went down in flames anyway.

And the consequences are......?
And the original vote will be reinstated when.....?
“A special bipartisan House committee has found that Democrats incorrectly closed a vote on the House floor last in August 2007 which would have resulted in Republicans prevailing on an immigration issue.”
I remember this one!
