You betcha
They couldn't do anything to stop what the dems were doing legally.
Perhaps (it seems that way, but I'm not a lawyer and I don't know all the arcane rules), but we didn't even see a hint of civil disobedience from them. Other than Michele Bachmann, did any of them try to rally the people to the Capitol to protest? Did any of them risk their career by getting rowdy on the floor of the House or Senate? Did they stage a mass protest by getting up and walking out of the vote? Nope, nothing but them doing a "going through the motions" defense.
The Reps are trying to lull the Tea Party to go back to sleep, whether people want to admit it or not.
Yup. Does anyone really believe that the gop winning in november is going to mean anything other than comprimises on amnesty cap and trade and a vat?
Now that I read you other comments I think, the "idiotic nonsense" was over the top. I just think it would have been a waste of time and extended fodder for the dems. I think it's more up to US, the grassroots and "we the people" to provide the civil disobedience.
You're absolutely right the republicans should have raised total hades, however it would have embolden the opposition and MSM that much more in my opinion.
I think the dems are done, and they did it to themselves! The country is pissed beyond belief "right now" at these scumbags and hopefully they will pay dearly for it in NOV. More importantly though, the repeal of this crapolla legislation is paramount!
