1:41PM Pelosi seeks pension vote anulled by Corbett B. Daly

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called for House of Representatives to annul the approval in the House Ways and Means Committee of a bill that would change pension laws. Earlier in the day, House Republicans called the police after Democrats walked out of a House committee vote on pension reforms. Pelosi called it an "indignity" to call the police on the Democrats. The Democrats had objected to a procedural move by committee Chairman Bill Thomas, R-Calif., and tried to delay the vote. While Democrats were out of the room, Thomas pushed the bill through unanimously on a voice vote. A Republican staffer asked Capitol Police to remove the Democrats from the room where they had taken refuge. The Democrats left on their own. The bill approved was a substitute for the Portman-Cardin pension bill, which would alter the way companies calculate pension liabilities and would also reform IRA and 401(k) plans.

"Pelosi seeks pension vote anulled (REPUBS CALL THE COPS ON HOUSE DEMONICRATS!)

I have heard that Congressman Pete Stark (D. from somewhere) was threatening a Republican
Congressman (I don't recall his name), challenging the Republican to go out into the hallway
and fight. I have heard this DemonRAT has been involved in many such type incidents in the past. A real weirdo.
I think this was reported on the Rush Limbaugh program today.

You might not believe it, but there is a practical reason that DemonRats like Pelosi are airheads. So much of the time their brains are being used by, and "thought trains" running through their heads are being run by, real demons. So when the demon takes some time to go deal with other matters, the lefist type becomes "empty headed". They aren't used to thinking on their own anymore.

Its not like the old days...now that there are 6 million of us humans the demons are rather overworked and most can't provide that "personal touch" anymore except to those sitting at the top of political or social hierarchies

Stark is another rat who has gotten by with weird behavior because the mediots hide it.

Those days are over.

They are arrogant and out of power. Their mediots are losing audiences everyday. Also their mediots no longer control the news. So aberrant behavior is out on talk radio, the internet and some of our media outlets.

Use Ajax, the foaming cleanser... floats the dirt, right down the drain! (In this case the words "Ajax" and "Ex-lax" are interchangeable)

If it's a wake, make sure and bring a big hat pin, to stick in the gray one in the Recall box ;-)

The Dems were upset about earlier events and are trying to make much dog doo about nothing. The floor debate was calling mostly Democrats to speak who weren't even at the incident, all Republicans called were there. Nancy P'lousy and the Dems had a resolution to condem the act. The Republicans in the dabate all concurred that if they were the committee chairman, they would have also called the Sergeant at Arms. The Dems did the usual spin like there was no end. The resolution was tabled.

The Dems tried it in Texas, and it sort of worked. Looks like they won't try it again in Congress, however.
