You know, back in August of 2008, the republicans stayed in chambers...in protest.
Now, if these rule changes pass...I would back them all leaving Washington D.C. and returning with their constituencies with torches & pitchforks.
I suppose if it is bad legislation (and given Pelosi’s ideology, it probably will be) and the GOP is barred from debating or amending it, they either vote “no” or just sit on their hands and vote “present”
The public must absolutely be made aware of the arrogant shutout of the minority party, the FAILURE at the very outset of Obama’s regime to work in a bipartisan spirit, and the the democrats MUST OWN all the consequences of what they do or do not do.
Bailout backlash is starting to build and this is gonna be a killer, when folks see the corrupt incompetent glitterati, special interests, and labor unions partying and squandering their tax money.
I think Pelosi will be popping her stitches for HER party to take all the responsibility, by about the third or 4th bailout bill and all the emails and switchboards jammed with angry constituents demanding a vote of “no” - and no “bipartisan” support to claim or blame.
IS this guy with the face-paint from Texas ? :-).....
IF they do this, and take away our talk radio they have truly taken away our voices and representation. If they then go after our means of self defense, then we could follow Glenn Beck's advice of being the informer of all the leftist loons and try to talk them away from this lerch towards a new beast akin to Fascism. The other alternatives are to much to fathom....
