Dear God! I think we just won. The people of our nation will see this abandonment for what it is |
|
The Republicans have turned their backs on the people they are suppose to represent and have left the floor of the House. It is an abdication of duty. It is the utter failure of a political party.

5. I hope Hoyer gets the frame right. |

And, btw, I really liked yours earlier, "resisting arrest". I call them scofflaws but yours is better because it's more concrete. :thumbsup:

10. See how fast they're holding a press conference |
|
Dems need to respond: Americans want us to protest them from an executive on steroids with full backing from the Rethugs in Congress.
Stand up Dems -time for confrontation.

25. It was the Rethug press conference that was aired on MSM... |
|
replete with a split-screen of the pigs pouring down the steps of Congress, to gather for their big photo-op.
That was three hours ago, and I've still not heard Pelosi's statements aired on the cable news shows. But they have replayed the Rethug spectacle, several times.
MSM is spinning this their way.

27. It did. That is where, for the general public, it started. For us it was much earlier of course. |
|
They may be comming on board late but its better than not at all. Today wasn't an indicator, it was a death knell.

24. it's not the walking out that was wrong but the issue they chose to do it over |
|
recall that the Texas legislature did the same thing over a non-census year gerrymandering vote.
