Boehner tells Pelosi to follow Senate and put up resolution about MoveOn.org, she declines

[ck4829]

House Republican leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the House should consider a similar measure to Senator Cornyn's. But when asked if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., would allow it, spokesman Nadeam Elshami said in an e-mail: "The House is going to devote its full attention to providing health care to children, promoting energy independence to improve America's security, reducing global warming, and responsibly redeploying U.S. forces now in Iraq.

"These are the priorities of the American people," he said.

1. She should sponsor a resolution condemning Boehner for trivializing troops' lives

and calling them a "small price to pay."

[valerief]

2. Thank Gawd! Those nonsense resolutions should be shot down like

any close friend of Cheney's.

[PA Democrat]

4. Good. Nice to see a little sanity.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. She did good

And that's how you handle stupidity such as this.

[babylonsister]

6. I have to give props when due; good move. nt

7. Excuse me!

"The House is going to devote its full attention to providing health care to children, promoting energy independence to improve America's security, reducing global warming, and responsibly redeploying U.S. forces now in Iraq.

"These are the priorities of the American people," he said.

What about the sins of George Bush? Madame Squeaker needs to put IMPEACHMENT, ending the IRAQ WAR and preventing any attack on IRAN at the head of that list!

[cascadiance]

21. Yes, IMPEACHMENT is the only thing that will get us out of this nightmare tale!

I thank you for trying to some degree, but you really need to go the full nine yards!

IMPEACHMENT!

[Jed Dilligan]

8. How many votes would we need in the House

to pass a similar amendment censuring Bush and Cheney?

[toadzilla]

9. too bad we cant accomplish ANY of those things till we get these criminals out of office!!!!!

IMPEACH Nancy IMPEACH!

There will be no meaningful change or movement at all on any of these issues as long as the bush cabal is still in power. She knows it too, which is the part that upsets me so.

10. Good for Pelosi! - n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. And that is all Reid had to do, Decline. Thank you Nancy. eom

[thoughtanarchist]

15. Not true.

John Cornyn stepped up to amend a bill that was under debate. You don't have to ask permission from the majority leader to do that .

Boehner was asking for a resolution to be brought to the floor. That would require that the Dems let it out of committee.

[onenote]

31. You apparently are unfamiliar with the Senate's rules and procedures

which are much different from those in the House. Its far easier for the Speaker to block a measure from coming to the floor in the House than it is for the majority leader to do so in the Senate. Indeed, Cornyn's amendment was entitled to a vote under Senate rules (either directly or through a vote on a motion to table).

[thoughtanarchist]

13. Hey Nancy,

Boehner: Hey Nancy, I've got an idea, let's pretend I'm still the majority leader!

Pelosi: Hey Jonnycakes, I've got a better idea -- Why don't you go f*** yourself!

:bounce:

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Nancy should tell "Bonehead" to go fuck himself.

[durablend]

18. Hey, that's not nice to make fun of names!

His name is BEY-NER

Now apologize before Congress passes a motion to condemn your post!

:sarcasm:

[Pachamama]

32. He says it's pronounced BEY-NER - Not so - its a German name and in German its pronounced exactly

like the word BONER.

[Bitwit1234]

19. bush better know as the Perpetrator

says to the country yesterday about the bill sent to him to sign, containing the provision to fund children's health insurance, that it was a political ploy by the democrats.

I don't understand the Perp on that one. The democrats want health insurance for children, bush won't sign it. SO WHO IS PLAYING POLITICS. It sure as hell ain't the democrats.

[book_worm]

20. what a bunch of crap, the GOP cares only about meaningless resolutions

against a political group and nothing about the lives of our troops in Iraq.

[malaise]

23. I'm surprised he didn't

cry. Were there no cameras?

[Gold Metal Flake]

24. She'll cave eventually.

Pressure is what the Democratic congress fears. Pressure is the Republican's bread and butter.

[cali]

25. Screw Pelosi!

This isn't good enough. She should be introducing a reaolution condemning all repubs, past, present and future!!

[nashville_brook]

26. i would like to know how this came up for a vote in the Senate -- why did Reid allow this?

[L. Coyote]

27. Pelosi,"Well, if you want more on the table....go to the back of the line"

:rofl:

[Gregorian]

28. Who are they more afraid of? Us or the Republicans.

If we put the fear into them, they'll vote for us.

I hope that comes across the right way. I just think the Dems in Congress have been voting out of fear, and perhaps even ignorance. When we speak up, they'll listen. Or so I hope and think.

[EFerrari]

29. Good for Nancy. n/t

[bdamomma]

30. she got spokesperson to talk to Bone head, she probably

does not want to hear this foolishness.
