Rules are for the other guy. For Democrats, their only standard is ‘By any means necessary’.

Rules, laws and constitutions are worthless impediments in a liberal’s mind..........

We are watching our tyranny form in realtime. Did you see "V" Tuesday?

Two points.

There has to be 2 minority members present to vote a bill out of committee. Boxer violated this with 0 being present.

Secondly, the name of the bill is not Crap and Trade, it's Crap and Traitor.

Only reason she can get away with this is because of her killer looks.

We do NOT have a representative government.

This PROVES IT.

It all rolls downhill.

Lies.
Lawlessness.
Larceny.
Licentiousness.

Eventually, people get fed up, you know? You can only have someone spit in your face with a smile on his face—just so often—until you don’t care.

0bama, Boxer, Pelosi, Reid—want to ‘cull the herd’ to have their zombie followers as their food chain, chain being the operative word.

So you can violate the rules because you are Demorats?

"Ends justify the means" vs "Rule of Law" defines a primary difference between liberals and conservatives, between democrats and republicans.

No surprise there!

Say, isn’t this why “free press” was written into the Constitution?

Breaking: Boxer says she forced the bill through because the GOP was off shopping at Brooks Brothers.

Boxer needs to be at the top of the list to visit when the torch and pitchfork brigade arrives soon.

You only have to fear payback from someone who has the guts to do something. The repubs don’t.
