U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown of Jacksonville was rebuked and risked being forced into silence by House members Thursday after suggesting Republican members "stole the election" in 2000.

In a seemingly rare vote, Washington officials said, the House decided, 219-187, to strike the "stole the election" statement from the congressional record. But they decided not to ban Brown from the House debate that day, as rules allow when members' reputations are impugned.

Afterward, Brown told the Times-Union she stood by her statements. She at one point said, "I would have clarified it." Asked how, she paused and replied, "The truth of the matter is I said what I felt."

"The truth of the matter is I said what I felt." ... "because I have no brain to think with."

Sometimes I think letting women vote and run for office was a mistake.

Corrine Brown is a dumb bitch, but she's been one for years, and she keeps getting re-elected, despite getting caught in influence peddaling stings, etc. The only good thing about her is that she's so dumb she's harmless. My former Congressman, Bill McCollum, who used to represent the neighboring district, told the story about how she shot herself in the foot. McCollum was trying to get a courthouse built in downtown Orlando. Brown was out to get McCollum, so she got the Clintons to block it. When the media asked McCollum for a quote, he pointed out that the courthouse was going to be built in Brown's district. She had shot herself in the foot, and had no idea.

Hanging my head in shame...this woman lives in my state...and she's an absolute disaster..she wants to have the UN come and monitor polling on Election Day in Florida. This latest outburst is typical of her.

No chance she'll be voted out. Her tribe is on the Democrat reservation and her empty head is in the taxpayer trough. Who would employ such an imbecile in a real job?

Corrine Brown is also one of the "Infamous Ones" who went to the U.N. recently and tried to get them(U.N.) to meddle in Our U.S. Federal Elections, this coming November.


Corrine Brown -D-(FL)
Julia Carson -D-(IN)
Joseph Crowley -D-(NY)
Elijah Cummings-D-(MD)
Danny Davis -D-(IL)
Raul Grijalva -D-(AZ)
Michael Honda -D-(CA)
Carolyn Maloney-D-(NY)
Jerrold Nadler -D-(NY)
Edolphus Towns -D-(NY)

The above are the ones who went to the U.N. for this stupidity. If they truly knew Our Constitution and Rights of Sovereignty they would not have tried this stupid stunt.

Their respective voters should toss 'em out on their ears come their next elections for their own stupidity.

Some of these particular Congressmens' friends are listed below:

The below listed Congressman are on the Democratic Socialists of America's "Progressive Caucus"(Over 50 members of this Socialist Organization in Our U.S. Congress):

6:11 P.M. - Table Appeal of the Ruling of the Chair Agreed to by recorded vote: 219 - 187 (Roll no. 384).

5:28 P.M. - WORDS REPORTED TO THE HOUSE - The Committee of the Whole rose to report the words that were objected to. Upon examination by the Speaker the comments were judged to be out of order and Ms. Corrine Brown (FL) appealed the ruling of the Chair. Mr. Buyer moved to lay the appeal of the ruling of the Chair on the table and Ms. Corrine Brown (FL) demanded a recorded vote.

But, ALL the dems feel this same way about the good guys trying to rid us of Willie's filth and corruption in his impeachment. The Rangle, Fwanks and "name-any-other-crapweasel" of Congress are just waiting under their rocks for the opprtunity to try to impeach a Republican. That is why it is so important to get as many of them out off Congress as possible.

I believe this honey also has clout with the Emperor/Savior Moon as her colleague, Eli Cummings, does.

Somehow or other, the article left out her Party affiliation.

I'm sure it was just a harmless oversight!

Brown, a Democrat, has requested the United Nations or another international agency monitor the presidential election, especially Florida's voting. She has been a loud critic of the 2000 election resulting in President Bush's victory following a controversial recount, including in Jacksonville. And she has said she fears similar trouble could return this year.

He does in the next paragraph.

"The truth of the matter is I said what I felt."

SOP for the left.

Corrine Brown is a horrible representative. Corrine Brown is a sick, sick woman. I think she still has outstanding debts to airline companies from her days as a travel agent.

If the government needs an enema to flush out all of the crap, they can start right there.

I still can't believe that she beat Jennifer Carroll, who currently is serving the Florida State House and is 100xs better person than this scum of a person, Corrine Brown.
