How do they do it? How can these Dem. Senators stop themselves from

[sinkingfeeling]

cursing, screaming, name-calling, or going over the table and kicking the crap out of Gonzo? Guess that's why I'll never be a senator! I couldn't not scream.

[ComerPerro]

1. I have wondered that before, how they can stop themselves from shouting "BULLSHIT" during

Repig grandstanding.

[zonmoy]

2. either fear of repercussions

or they secretly are on the same side.

[xultar]

4. That is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. They can't disrespect their office by cursing.

[zonmoy]

11. who said the repercussions have anything to do with disrespecting their office.

bush has the power to overthrow our democracy if he wants too right now.

15. Gen. Geo. Patton would respectfully disagree

"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. ... As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence."

I pray that these Dems get some eloquence soon !

5. You can't be serious

[zonmoy]

7. which one cant I be serious about.

if they impeach bush might simply cause a event to eliminate congress and democracy. as for them being secretly on the same side, all you really have to do is to look to see who pays for the campaigns of both parties.

[ComerPerro]

8. So that's why they don't swear across the aisle. Because they are on the same side....

:eyes:

[zonmoy]

13. yes, I admit they would put up a better show of being an opposition

if they did swear at the other party but they wont.

[xultar]

3. EGGGSACTLY! They do deserve some respect for being able to keep it cool.

I couldn't be a senator cuz I'd say Cut the shit gonzo-bean. Then I'd proceed to read him the riot act until he wet himself.

[Minimus]

6. Unlike "go f**k yourself" cheney.

[xultar]

16. AbsoFUCKINlutely! Without a doubt....

[aquart]

9. They have gone thru the campaign process.

Which is excellent training in self-control. Also, the rules won't let them.

But I do marvel.

[truebrit71]

10. I was thinking the same thing myself...

They KNOW he's lying, he's prejured himself, i'd be spitting mad myself...don't know how they do it...

[BuyingThyme]

12. At this point, I'll take the cursing, screaming, name-calling ass kicker.

[OHdem10]

14. Did you not know many people some on this very

board demand that they stay "intellectual" and remain
above the fray. We are above such tactics used by
gOP.

I say the GOP know and uses Passion to their advantage.

I also call it the Beltway Disconnect. Totally out of touch
with average Americans.

[Bitwit1234]

17. You know something????

I have been looking for a fight to break out in the house or the senate. It has happened in a lot of other countries and they don't have the crap we have ---republicans ---lying and spewing all the time. You are correct how in the devil do the congress people stop them selves from socking one of those liars when they start their stuff.
