Exactly. A FAX ought to have opened the “quorum” and they should proceed right now.
The pubs should have discounted all the DAMN PHONES in the building!! UGH!
This is exactly why people like Palin, Bachman and even Christie are popular with conservatives. While they may not be perfect in all their positions they “Don’t take no SH**” from Liberals, MSM, or other useful idiots.
Speaking about levers, Archimedes said, “Give me a fulcrum and a (firm) place to stand and I can move the earth.” The fulcrum is the truth. The place to stand is the solid conservative leader. The lever is the people who believe and work for what’s right.
Truth alone is not enough. Good conservatives are always willing to work for what’s right. But liar after liar have stolen our heart, raped our spirit and leached away our willingness to give and give only to be betrayed once again.
When we hear that clarion voice of truth ring out from a leader we instinctively recognize within our soul to be a solid, stand firm individual, we arise within ready to give once more and we support her, or him.
God grant us such leaders.
It IS contrived. The spirit of rebellion orchestrates it all in a conspiracy both in heaven and earth against the Father who created us all.
Most on earth have denied the existence of the spiritual completely. Most of the rest only acknowledge it as an after life possibility. But the Apostle Paul says that RIGHT NOW, “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”
Conspiracies exist mostly in the mind of evil with the human component oblivious. Neverthless, they exist.
Ephesians 6:12
What procedures do they have in place to prevent fraudulent voting? What’s to prevent me from calling in a vote for some absentee representative, using a falsetto voice or claiming to be speaking on his/her behalf? This is REALLY unwise. Call me old school, but legislators ought to be present to vote. Get their lazy butts in there. Not every job can be done by telecommuting. I love my email, but even I know when I have to meet with people face-to-face.
They should have voted the bill through on tuesday, and had their parlementarian rule that a vote in committee is a de-facto “present” for a quorum vote.
If the democrats aren’t there, how will the object to a ruling that there is a quorum? And how would they later fight the law? Go to court and try to get a judge to rule that they didn’t make a quorum by voting by phone?
Good post!
If they can vote by phone, they have a quorum.
I think the handset should be left off hook or swap the phone line from line in to line out.
It is still hooked up but non-functional.
Great to hear about the Voter ID bill. I’ve been wondering
what they have been waiting for.
RINOs indeed. It would make me really ill to think all
of this has been just theater and that the RINOs knew
all along about the phone-in option. Your comment, although
rather mildly phrased, is apposite. I don’t think an
adequate treatment would escape the mods though.
GOP Sen. MARY Lazich refused to let the felon phone in his vote.
Once again the women in the GOP appear to be the ones with cojones. Go Mary!!!
