They are talking about poverty in the U.S., Hurricane Katalina, how the rich are getting richer, Bush's lame "accept responsibility" act, etc... Sure would be nice to hear the "I" word!

18. Corrine Brown got slapped down for talking about Bush, Maxine Waters is

attempting to clarify the rule. Cythia McKinney up now... talking about Halliburton, and asking if they are prevented from speaking about this.

[Jeanette in FL]

16. Repremanding Corrine Brown

They like to scold her all the time. Didn't like her mentioning Cheney. She won't back down.

[Nite Owl]

17. Oh so the names of the

Pres and VP cannot be mentioned? Pecuniary gain shouldn't be mentioned. So says the chair. Waters questioning him now.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. I always thought that they could

say anything on the floor and they couldn't be liable for it either. I suppose if it were about Clinton it would be ok, just so long as their little dictator is protected.

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. Yeah.. the double standards are sickening

20. Cynthia McKinney kicking ass again!

She's asking about Cheney receiving compensation from Halliburton getting contracts in New Orleans! She's mad! The chairman is just waiting for their time to run out, I'm sure!

[WiseButAngrySara]

25. Darn! I missed it. Was it good? Did they try to silence her on this

point? Maxine Waters is on now. She's mentioning BABs Bush!!! HA HA HA!!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. Cynthia yielded her time after asking the question. or at least left

the mike.

[Jeanette in FL]

22. Maxine Waters up now

Isn't it so rude that while the CBC is making statements on the floor and there are no other members of congress there to listen. To me this is what the problem is.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Yep. But we're listening. We'll be writing to thank them too

30. I was thinking that too

WHY can't other Democrats have some courage and integrity and stand up like these patriots are? Thank God for these honorable Americans!

[faithnotgreed]

38. you got that right - basically the only people worth having in govt

integrity and courage

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Maxine railing against the RW and the media that are undermining

and denigrating people who talk about the harsh realities of poverty, class, and race.

Talking about Babs Bush's evil comment.

[Nite Owl]

31. She's got it right

be in their faces, don't back up. And she brought up Halliburton again.

[Jeanette in FL]

32. I said this back in 2000

That if this democracy is too survive it will be due to the fight of the CBC. Maxine is kicking ass and taking names.

"He gave another no-bid contract to Halliburton, yes I will say it"

[Nite Owl]

33. Mc Kinney

she's always good

[Jeanette in FL]

35. Bringing up Congressman Baker statement

39. Me too

I wish all the dems would follow.

[Jeanette in FL]

40. How sad even in this community

That there is only a handful of people that are on this thread discussing what the CBC is discussing on our house floor.

[GreenPartyVoter]

41. Agreed. :^(

[Nite Owl]

44. I know

it seems like the right has laid it on though and given us so many issues to fight. It's like they are trying to wear us down and make us feel like it is too much to handle. Just makes me resolved to push on with everything I've got.

[Skidmore]

42. So where are the rest of our Dem reps? Why are none of them

there to support the CBC? Even if the CBC were the only ones to speak, the rest of the Dems should be sitting in the rows behind them to be visually present and lend their support to these words of truth.

[Jeanette in FL]

43. Missing in action

Like they always are lately.

[GreenPartyVoter]

46. Do you think they are over at the Roberts Hearing, listening in?

47. They just don't get it

[GreenPartyVoter]

50. I wonder if Mike Pence was there the whole time?

48. Mel Watt, North Carolina

Belting it out of the park talking about the poor and black in this country.

[kma3346]

49. Argh--Republicans up now defending Iraq war

Same old tired line: We're winning the war. It's going very well.

UGHHHH!!!! What a bunch of crap--especially after seeing the Black caucus talking about things that are so important that actually would help the people in our country.

[GreenPartyVoter]

51. Yeah, I am shutting that crap off now

[kma3346]

52. Me too

They sure are a bunch of war mongers. Here are some highlights:

"defeating the enemy"

"the ruthless nature of the insurgents"

"defeating and killing insurgents along the Syrian border"

"We're winning the war in Iraq"

"We're defeating the enemy"

"We've never lost an engagement"

"We're winning the peace"

What is wrong with these people? This is such a stark contrast from the previous discussion about compassion and helping poor people in the UNITED STATES!

Ai yi yi...

And never forget, "War is peace"!
