"The IMPERIAL DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY" ROTFLMAO! Pence, repuke, just said that about the Democrats.

[in_cog_ni_to]

On C-SPAN 1....the repukes are on LIVE whining about the vote last night and Pence had the freakin' NERVE to refer to the Democrats in the House as "The IMPERIAL Democratic Majority." :rofl::rofl:

They've all lost their memories! HELP...call Dr. Frist!!! :rofl:

[Donnachaidh]

1. Waaaahhh waaahhh waaahhhh

Republican chorus pokes the next guy -- *psst! Are the cameras on us? Okay*


WAAAAAAAAAAHHHH WAAAHHHHH!!! WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

:rofl:

[malaise]

6. This is fall down funny

:rofl: :rofl:

[EFerrari]

2. They're going to milk this for all it's worth.

I want to watch this on replay and count how many times they say "cheat" and "illegal immigrants".

They must have stayed up all night planning this.

[notadmblnd]

3. I watching too and I can't believe what they're saying.

"This imperial tone that has been set." Rep Todd Akin r- Missouri

[napi21]

4. Yea I know, I heard him. You gotta give 'em credit for being

good at using the English language though! I wish the Dems had thought of that line and used it over and over for the last 6+ years!

[Demeter]

14. Actually, We DID

Where do you think these raisins get their best ideas? They steal ours and then deform them out of all possible recognition.

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. AGAIN..."The IMPERIAL TONE" used by repuke, Todd Akin. The new meme for the day...IMPERIAL.

:rofl:

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! They really hate having their crap thrown back in their faces.:rofl:

Now Hensaling, freak from Texas, is talking about how RADICAL the Majority is.:rofl:

[Bitwit1234]

7. And there was one republican saying they were standing up for the American People

Refresh my memory some body quick....aren't 75% of the people in this country against bush and the republican interests. Isn't he admitting that they republicans are ignoring the real Majority in this country and want to further the interst of the 25% who still believe in bush and his monsters.

[JerseygirlCT]

8. Just heard that, too. I nearly choked.

These people have absolutely no sense of irony.

But I'll tell you what... they sure know how to whine better than we do.

[EFerrari]

20. They're reframing themselves as the champions of the people.

And, they're doing a good job.

[JerseygirlCT]

31. Why can't we be that loud and obnoxious? Why are we so

damned reasonable all the time?

I'd like to see us risk being called "shrill" a bit. I'd like to see us really fight this nonsense.

It's frustrating.

[EFerrari]

37. Our team should be out there right now, not in an hour. It is

frustrating.

[senseandsensibility]

55. Are they going to answer this in an hour?

I'm really outside the loop on this whole thing, I'm sorry to say.

[in_cog_ni_to]

58. 12:30 ET. in a 1/2 hour they will give their presser. n/t

[senseandsensibility]

59. Let's hope they come out swinging!

:)

[EFerrari]

64. Nancy and Harry are going to make a statement. But,

it's been announced that then the Thug leaders will make a statement after that.

[RL3AO]

9. I don't see the resemblance.

[IChing]

10. If it were democrats CSPan would have cut the conference by now

They did it when Schumer and other Democratic senators were talking about Gonzo.

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. Lets see what they do when the Dems hold THEIR press conference.

I'm sure this won't go unanswered by the Dems.:)

[malaise]

17. I had the identical thought n/t

[rodeodance]

29. Dem and House Learders are chatting about this problem now but these Repugs want

some publicity

[JerseygirlCT]

34. You're right. nt

[myrna minx]

60. IIRC, when the 'pubs ran the House, a voice vote that was definitely

ney was called yea. I remember Randi playing the Span tape. Neary a peep from the corporate media. I don't recall what the vote was for, but it wasn't a mistake, it was a deliberate gavel.


Does anyone remember this? Randi will probably bring this up today.

[Norquist Nemesis]

11. Proof yet again that they go on lock step from Karl Rove's talking points

This is CLASSIC Rove. Rove is fully aware that "Imperial Presidency" is getting traction so he sends out the daily morning memo: "Use the term 'Imperial Democrat Majority' at the beginning, middle, and end of every sentence. Use the cameras to keep repeating "Imperial Democrat Majorty".

[ChiciB1]

13. The Height Of Hypocrisy Happening NOW!! The NERVE Of These

people to stand up, one by one telling Americans that Democrats are once again in affect some sort of NAZIS!

I sincerely think America has lost it's way and I don't have a clue as to how or WHEN it will find it's way back!

I'm sick of them calling us The Democrat Party!! One thing for sure, they are hyping this to the HILT!

WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS???? WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS????

[malaise]

15. A reporter is nailing them about the Medicare bill

which they held over for three hours.

[ChiciB1]

18. Nailing Who?? From Where?? n/t

[EFerrari]

25. Pence -- on how the vote was held open for hours on the Medicare

bill when they were in the majority.

[rodeodance]

23. Thanks. I tuned in late. Glad the reporter brought it up. Amnesia sets in fast.

[rodeodance]

16. whow. Repugs are sure into name calling.

[rodeodance]

19. Wonder if Pelosi will call her own Press conf. This is NOT good for the Dems at all.

[EFerrari]

30. No, it's not because the Thuggery is framing the issue. n/t

[rodeodance]

49. Toddler tantrum talk.

[EFerrari]

50. Sure but it doesn't play that way to their wingnut base.

They'll look like heroes.

[JerseygirlCT]

36. I know. This stuff needs to be ANSWERED - strongly

and right away.

[bluedog]

21. bunch of whine ass babies.do they realize

hoe f'ing stupid they sound?...........LOL :cry: :cry:

[Eurobabe]

22. Whine, whine, whine - Hensarling TX wah, wah!!

Pence whining again.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. OMG...now Pence is saying that the 3 hour MEDICARE vote was A-OKAY because the gavel never fell! 2

SACRED things in the House: "The Member's vote and the gavel. "OMG...the fucking hypocrisy of these people is unbelievable!

[bluedog]

39. Cons can't manipulate the process any more

and thats what has their balls crumpled.......

[rodeodance]

26. There leaders agreed to chat about this. but these little troops are having a fit.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

27. Bilbray looks like he's got a good high going on. nt

[EFerrari]

28. Gag me, BILBRAY is talking about COUNTING VOTES

when his election was filthy! :wow:

[rodeodance]

32. Hoyer said this am he would send to Ethics comm. but Bonnier said we

could just have a chat about it.



so they are chatting about it now and wha do the Repugs do-----have a whinning photo op

[spanone]

33. hey pence, bite me

[Eurobabe]

35. Pelosi and Hoyer speaking live on C-SPAN around 12:30pm

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. Man, I so hope they don't cave on this! The repuke have NEVER apologozed for ANYTHING

they ever did to the repukes.

[EFerrari]

46. I'm beginning to wonder if Boener didn't ask for a meeting with Hoyer

just so House Republics could put on this little song and dance while the House was out.

[in_cog_ni_to]

61. That's what I think is going on! It's all a part of their plan...get the resolution withdrawn so the

little rat bastards could get out and do their whining campaign on teevee. Paint the Dems as "Imperialits", get in the first kick, put the Dems on the defense while Boner and Hoyer are chatting. This was obviously planned. They ALL have their little talking points ready to go. That's not by chance!

[EFerrari]

63. No, this was choreographed. n/t

[GOTV]

71. Well, again, the GOP has gotten out there first. n/t

[Eurobabe]

38. Replaying the piece from last night on C-SPAN

I haven't seen it yet. Bedlum.

[in_cog_ni_to]

42. Aren't they unbelievable? Did the Democrats EVER act like this? I don't think so!

[rodeodance]

45. I am thinking that I wish they had ------during the Medicare Part D vote.

[in_cog_ni_to]

51. I know. The Dems need to pay close attention! They need to start taking a gun to the gunfight

and I HOPE...this vote is exactly that.:) They've finally armed themselves with the repuke's ammo? We shall see during the Pelosi and Hoyer presser, I guess.

[rodeodance]

41. Photo op is concluded. cspan is once again ReAiring the ruckus from last night

[rodeodance]

43. Repugs think they are at Football game with all their CHANTING!!

[Eurobabe]

47. what are they yelling "shame??"

[flyarm]

66. does this remind anyone of the 2000 election and the thugs who came to Fla screaming?

same show different day!

fly

[EFerrari]

78. Exactly. n/t

[ChiciB1]

52. Looks Like Something I Saw From North Korea Once.... Only Thing

missing was the fist fight and hair pulling! How many times did Tom DeLay hold up votes, go behind the scenes and threaten others?

What have we become in this country??

[Eurobabe]

44. What are the cons yelling SHAME>?

On the tape from last night?

[senseandsensibility]

48. I hate to say this

but I saw the repukes on the air live this morning and knowing nothing about the facts of the situation, I have to admit they came across as reasonable and did make the Dems look bad. I can't remember the last time a repug looked reasonable to me--maybe never! Jeez, if I'm feeling this way, I can only imagine what the average TV viewer is feeling. The Dems need to answer this now. Why are they always playing defense? grrrr...:argh:

[rodeodance]

53. Early is morning when House first gaveled in, both Boener and Hoyt agreed

to have a conference on the issue (civil about it)-----but it seems the Repug TROOPS do not agree with Boener their leader and really making an issue over it (while the leaders are talking).

[in_cog_ni_to]

57. ACTUALLY, I think this whole thing was THE PLAN. Boner would get the resolution withdrawn, Hoyer

would be a gentleman (stupid) and pull the resolution and THEN the repukes would do their RABID PR campaign. It's all a part of the plot. BONER IS IN ON IT. He knew what they were planning to do. The Democrats just haven't caught on to how to fight like the repukes fight. They REALLY need to STOP TRUSTING THESE RAT BASTARDS!

[ChiciB1]

54. That's What I Want To Know!!! Where Are The Democrats??

My second time asking this in this thread!!!

[Eurobabe]

56. I'm watching it for the first time now

ah the irony, the voting machine is down and the CONS are livid. Remind them of something from a past life?

I do agree, Pelosi better get out there and do some damage control because this really doesn't look too good. And the Republicans are spinning the shit out of this re: public assistance and illegal immigrants.

[rodeodance]

62. The Democratics are apologizing for the vote--the way it was handled last night. This

is a re-run from ealier today (friday when the House first gavelled in)

[flyarm]

65. i just called his office and went over each and every time the repugs didn't let dems even in on

votes or waited till 3am to hold votes without the dems even reading the freaking bills..or let them even hold hearings like making them hold hearings in the basement of the capitol.. and Sensenbrenner cutting the mikes and turning the lights off..i said that that pig has a hell of alot of nerve!!

i said ..save the BS for the utterly stupid in this country ..because his boat doesn't float!


fly

[in_cog_ni_to]

67. You called Pence's office?

:thumbsup: fly!

What did the staffer say? Or did you get an answering service?

[flyarm]

81. the lady tired to cut me off and i said don't you dare cut me off ..

i said you are going to listen to me or i will continue to call back over and over again !

so she listened and then said are you done..like she was bored..i said i am done.. for today ...but get used to my voice you will hear lots of it!! and i hung up!

fly

[EFerrari]

68. That's who the BS is for, their utterly stupid base. Now they can go home

and get patted on the back for standing up to the imperial Democrats.

[GOTV]

69. Why are the Republicans out with the first press conference?

Why do we let them set the terms of the argument?

[in_cog_ni_to]

72. I dunno! Maybe the Dems want the last word? Lets see what they say in their presser....which is LATE

It was suppose to start 5 minutes ago.

[GOTV]

73. The last word means you end up responding to the terms they set. We should have been first.

And listen to each one of them calling us the "democrat" party

[in_cog_ni_to]

74. Well, they may not have known what the plan was on the repuke side. This whole thing was pre-planned

The repukes were READY with all their talking points and little speeches. Maybe the Dems weren't expecting this? I know, it's STUPID, but the Dems are just too damn trusting and still believe that repukes have integrity....which they don't.

[GOTV]

77. How annoying this all is. We should have had the truth ready to go.

It sounds to me, so far, like they are going to win this one.

[EFerrari]

76. On the other hand, if the Democrats let this day be wasted

with this BS, the real work of the House doesn't get done and the Thugs have a trifecta. It would be a hard call to make, imho.

[IChing]

70. Now CSPAN is playing the conference again!!!

So CSPAN gives the republicans face time again.

[harun]

75. I heard this too, they had all the whack jobs in a group, had to turn it

[ProSense]

79. "Republican members staged a mini walkout over voting machines"

Republicans Walk Out On Procedural Matter

[applegrove]

80. They are not very original are they?
