Impossible, the GOP is a bunch of spineless wimpy RINO’s.

Maybe but the backbone holding them all up is in the house.

I do believe Nancy has “..awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve”

But I’ll say it this way:

NANCY PELOSI: PWNED!!!

First, the approval ratings, then her book, now our tea party..Methinks the San Francisco treat is not as competent as she believes herself to be.

Pelosi , D-Calif., didn’t seem inclined to do anything to bring the GOP’s off-the-books filibuster to an end.

“The House is in adjournment. The lights are off, the mikes are off,’’ said Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly. “They can talk all they want. We’re just doing what we normally do.’’

But Pelosi’s staff did try to minimize the amount of attention the rump filibuster was getting.

They ordered the staff of the press gallery to lock the doors to the balcony overlooking the chamber, as is the usual practice when the House is not in session.

So, GOP members started a shuttle system, taking turns moving from floor to gallery to join reporters as they watched the proceedings.

Around 12:30 p.m., the bright TV lights in the chamber were turned off, as Chief Deputy Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., was speaking.

Cantor didn’t miss a beat, declaring, “Turn off the lights, turn off the mikes, kick out the press because they [the Democrats]don’t want to deal with this important issue.”
