House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation. Pelosis proposals are so draconian, and will so polarize the Capitol, that any thought President-elect Obama has of bipartisan cooperation will be rendered impossible before he even takes office.
Pelosis rule changes -- which may be voted on today -- will reverse the fairness rules that were written around Newt Gingrichs Contract with America.
In reaction, the House Republican leadership is sending a letter today to Pelosi to object to changes to House Rules this week that would bar Republicans from offering alternative bills, amendments to Democrat bills or even the guarantee of open debate accessible by motions to recommit for any piece of legislation during the entire 111th Congress. These procedural abuses, as outlined in the below letter obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, would also include the repeal of six-year limit for committee chairmen and other House Rules reform measures enacted in 1995 as part of the Contract with America.

To blame this on Republicans is absurd. The blame rests squarely on the backs of these RATS who are drunk with power and a very stupid electorate who elect them.

thats a good name for her instead of nacy its N A Z I!!
These congressional Republicans have plenty of fight in them. Pay attention.
They don’t have to rewrite the constitution. They ignore it.
Just wanted to issue a warning that some malware tried to load itself on my computer when I linked to the Human Events site.
Nah, if they rewrite the constitution, they’ll be at least partially bound to abide by what they’ve written. Much better to just ignore it, or discover emanations and penumbras. That way it gets discredited.
I vote aye on the first three items and nay on the last item.
“Would you tell those a-holes to shut up.”
Pelosi is nothing unusual for a Democrat. This is the sort of thing they do when in charge.
Contract with America? Looks like America will have to take out a contract on these folks, politically speaking. Let’s have another bloodbath like 1994. That was SO sweet.
Nancy Pelosi, Damascus Nancy, The Wicked Witch of the house, Nancy Bates. No matter what you call her this is one PSYCHO woman.

I'm sure the Dems are shaking in their boots!
This is exactly how Democrats conduct business. They are simply not interested in any bipartisanship whatsoever.
If anybody is still entertaining the fantasy of the Dems not overreaching, you can wake up now.
These flaming liberals are going to ram through every lunatic law they can while they are in power.
Approval ratings mean nothing if the idiot voters keep putting snakes back in.
And buckalfa is right...the GOP blew its chance to demonstrate good governance.
I had that happen too.
It told me that I had spyware and if I would just download this nifty little .exe program, all would be taken care.
Needless to say I logged out.
But when I went to the link from google, it did not happen.
Only when clicking it from Free Republic.
Precisely.
Bingo - the delusion is very strong within the people.
I dunno guys, but this sure sounds like CHANGE to me. It is what the man promised.
Marxist Revolution ‘09 bump for later........
