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.

majority. This does not surprise me one bit, as trouble, instigated by the Dims has been brewing, they have been looking for a fight for many years ,in 1995, there was "The Brawl in the Hall", when former Dim and ranking member, Sam Gibbons, threw a paper wad at Chairman Archer and then the argument went out in the hall, where a Dim grabbed the tie of a Republican. All of this was caught on video tape.

DANG .. I never heard that story ..

Wow .. can you just imagine Pelosi in a fight .. FOFL

That woman is a nasty piece of work - she does everything behind the scenes, manipulates pols through her husband's FORTUNE and they dance to her tune. Don't fall for her "wide-eyed" look (she was that way before the lifts!) She is one scarey piece of work. Many in SF politics have learned to play her game or not play at all.

Ohhhh. One slap in on the face and the entire thing would peel off!

[Mo1]

Or slide to the one side of her face .. LOL

[Mr. D]

The Dim resolution regarding this matter.

Or slide to the one side of her face .. LOL

LOL. Ohhhhh.
It makes me think of that TV show called "Tales From the Crypt."

[scouse]

What's your take on this?

It seems the socialists threatened the Republicans with bodily harm. One socialist called a republican member a fruitcake and threatened to do him some harm.

[go-ken-go]

Its all well and good, they got the cops called on them - but, does anyone know the ramifications of this pension bill?

[lowbridge]

bump

[LB4BUSH]

Pelosi is up there now lying and spinning.....Why were the Dims in the library and not in the committee meeting? Personally, I wish the Republicans would have the police remove every dim from the Congress, yes I have a dream!!

The Rats can't take being out of power....and as Rush says that is when they are the funniest.....

[syriacus]

Democrats are painting GOPers as brown shirts.

C-Span is taking calls.

[debg]

they are not mentioning the air of physical threat which was why the republicans called the police

[Molly Pitcher]

LOL ... What they didn't run and hide in another state?

Next time, they probably will...

[Mo1]

LOL .. I'm listening to it now

[syriacus]

Quote f rom Dem caller right now:

"[GOPers] are calling the Gestapo..."

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFL!!

[syriacus]

C-Span "expert" is explaining the Democrats' side of the story.....

[concerned about politics]

Dems are saying they only left to "discuss the matter."
Of course, their "storming out of the room" was over something else - NOT!

[syriacus]

"Expert" says Hastert was turning redder and redder by the minute during debate.
