Send them all to a Gulag, in Siberia. When, one of those great so-called elected officals, cry about their specials right's being violated then make them pull a dog sled through the wonderful winter-land. Vote commie, it's easier than making a prudent decision. Bush/Cheney 2004
She is such a disgusting person and a criminal too.
Me too!!! I cringe whenever she is on TV.
TURN ON...............LAURA INGRAHAM.
Will do...but then I gotta go work out!
Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, for those of us who were here in this House on January 6, 2001, to challenge the election, this is, I guess, a matter of urgency. Monitoring elections is not punishment, it only helps our democracy. This is not a punishment. This is to say to all of the people, thousands who did not have their vote counted in 2000, that we care and this country is a democracy. Sweet land of liberty, that is what we know America to be. And no one should be ashamed or afraid, including the United States military, to have international monitors. All of us will demand that all votes are counted, civilians and the military. None of us should be afraid to have our election system scrutinized. Again, it is not a punishment, it is only to provide for a consistent, fair election. It is for the protection of the democracy that we believe in.
The CHAIRMAN. The gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) has 30 seconds remaining.
Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 30 seconds to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Corrine Brown).
(Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida asked and was given permission to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida. Mr. Chairman, I want to turn in a copy of the Certified Vote Organization. Over 1,700 people, that is technologists, lawyers, political scientists, says that the technology that we are using in the upcoming election is flawed.
I come from Florida *.*.* No, we are not going to get over it. And we want verification from the world.
Mr. BUYER. Mr. Chairman, I ask the gentlewoman's words be taken down. She said that ``you stole an election.''
The CHAIRMAN. All Members will suspend.
The gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Buyer) asked that the gentlewoman's words be taken down.
The Clerk will report the words.
In the meantime, all Members will cease from conversation. The gentlewoman will be seated.
[Time: 17:15]
The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will report the words objected to.
The Clerk read as follows:
I come from Florida where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat. We need to make sure that it does not happen again. Over and over again, after the election, when you stole the election, you came back here and said get over it.
The CHAIRMAN. The Committee will rise.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. Ose) having assumed the chair, Mr. Thornberry, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, reported that that Committee, had under consideration the bill (H.R. 4818) making appropriations for foreign operations, export financing, and related programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005, and for other purposes, when certain words used in debate were objected to and on request were taken down and read at the Clerk's desk, and he herewith reported the same to the House.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the words objected to.
The Clerk read as follows:
I come from Florida where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat. We need to make sure that it does not happen again. Over and over again, after the election, when you stole the election, you came back here and said get over it.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. As stated by the Chair in response to a parliamentary inquiry on February 27, 1985, Members should not accuse other Members of committing a crime, such as ``stealing'' an election. By accusing an identifiable Member of stealing an election, the gentlewoman's words are not in order.
Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I appeal the ruling of the chair. I ask unanimous consent to clarify my words.
Mr. BUYER. I object.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
[Time: 17:30]
Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I appeal the ruling of the Chair.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Ose). The question is: Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the House?
MOTION TO TABLE OFFERED BY MR. BUYER
Mr. BUYER. Mr. Speaker, I move to lay the appeal on the table.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Buyer) to lay on the table the appeal of the ruling of the Chair.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
RECORDED VOTE
Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
[Page: H5866] GPO's PDF
A recorded vote was ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 219, noes 187, not voting 28, as follows:
[Roll No. 384]
AYES--219
Same wig for the past 20 years!
I know the feeling, the "Honorable" Alcee Hastings is my current Congress critter, the man isn't the idiot that Brown, Meeks, et al are, he's simply an impeached former federal judge (Carter appointee I believe). Impeached by the Dems themselves no less after a jury nullification result in a bribery trial.
The trial of the briber resulted in conviction, disbarment and prison time, but old Alcee is innocent, go figure...and yet the Dems, led by John Conyers, impeached him and the Senate convicted and removed him from office.

...not what I know to be the truth. See, it's like I've been saying all along!
What seems odd to me though is that many Democrats out there even appear to dislike her, let alone Americans. That she survived as long as she has in a district that includes any portion of Jacksonville amazes me.
