During a debate on H. Res. 1099: Recognizing the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima

From 00:10 to 03:54 Peter DeFazio (D-Oregon) details the incompetent RepubliCon mismanagement of Veteran care during their administration.

From 04:00 to 07:54 Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado) gives 3 minutes of RepubliCon anti-health care reform talking points. At 07:54 Steve Israel (D-New York) asks "Would the gentleman explain to me what reconciliation has to do with honoring veterans of Iwo Jima?". Lamborn then goes on to talk about abortion until 09:50.

From 10:04 Israel lambasts Republicons for politicizing and delaying the debate by bringing up an unrelated issue.

2. That MY representative! (DeFazio)

[dhpgetsit]

12. He's mine too!

Very proud to say it!

3. DeFazio is known for Veteran's Advocacy

That's one of the key reasons he wins even with a large number of right wingers outside of Eugene.

4. Oh how I miss Eugene. I'm from there.

But now stuck in a district with a repug--Lungren. Barf. Hopefully I'll escape this nightmare in Calif. BTW, my desktop has awsome photo of Willamette River. Ahhhhh.

5. Great weather in Eugene today

I got my gardening done today so I can watch CSPAN tomorrow. It was a great spring day in Eugene. BTW - I know exactly how you feel about living in a R district. I lived in the suburbs of Austin for many years before moving to Oregon three years ago. John Carter was my Congress member. What a worthless pile of &^*(&. It's refreshing to have Pete DeFazio as my voice in Washington.

6. I grew up in that area; my family still lives there.

And I'm proud of Peter DeFazio!

7. Nah, he's just grandstanding.

It's his ego, I tell you.
:sarcasm:

Now, let me tell you how I really feel. De Fazio stands tall, with his confreres, Kucinich and Grayson, in championing true Democratic and democratic principles.

Unequivocably and without reservation.

8. 7:00 was that a pick or a scratch?

11. I can't say-

But if it was a pick, he either ate it or put his hand back on his face without wiping it on the chair arm first.
