Ever work in a state hospital under republicans? THAT is a thugocracy. My own state hospitals motto was thus: Whoever is least qualified WINS!

What kills me, is now all these republicans are coming out and saying Obama has to be careful with his spending. HELLO! After 8 years of them running the debt up so high they had to take down the debt clock to add more numbers to it, and after creating the highest deficit and trade deficit in history, they have a lot of nerve saying that. Where was their careful consideration of spending and expanding government for the past 8 years? Buncha wankers.

Which is one reason I'm a Libertarian, not a Republican -- over Radar's objections. I could, I suppose, call Radar a few "perfectly true and applicable names" over it, but in honor of the holiday we're both enjoying, I'll refrain.

Well, I'm Green or Independent. I have voted for Nader three times. I did vote for Obama, but I really believe he can actually make a difference in some things that are very important to me, like green technology.

TheMercenary · 11-27-2008, 03:31 PM

Well looks like this guy isn't going to make it to the party!

Pelosi Erases Gingrich's Long-Standing Fairness Rules

Quote:

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. Pelosi’s 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.

Pelosi’s rule changes -- which may be voted on today -- will reverse the fairness rules that were written around Newt Gingrich’s “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.

Hit the link for the letter.

Yay! Pelosi is serious about getting things done. One person's "fairness" rule is another's procedural game piece. Rather than "polarize", it will probably serve to reveal the fringes (on any edge) as the fringes.

Sorry, but I just found that part funny.

Perhaps you are right and the idea is to eliminate anything and/or anything in the way of her plans.

bluecuracao · 01-05-2009, 03:01 PM

It's about time the Dems put their foot down. "Fairness" schmairness. What wouldn't be fair is if the change the majority of Americans voted for can't happen, because some far-right Republicans with axes to grind continue to send everything into legislative limbo with their ridiculous game playing. Talk about "procedural abuses."
