My disgust for the Repukes just spun out in overdrive

[Mira]

I heard somewhere on TV, a minute ago, that the Democrats asked for Senator Robert Byrd to be spared from having to come to the floor to cast his vote.
Oh no no no, not a chance.

The Republicans said it was not acceptable.
The 92 year old ailing man had to come in during this awful weather to cast his vote in person.
At 1 am last night.

How much does that suck?
Do these people even know what compassion even means, along with not being able to spell it?

Damn, that makes me angry.
They are hate filled critters, totally impotent lunatics, making a laughable power grab at the expense of an ancient man.

I just wanted you to know that happened, that's all.

1. Pure evil. Bet they woulda pitched a fit if the Dems had said that about

Strom Thurmond.

[Vinca]

2. Offensive has been taken to a whole new level.

Colburn went to the floor and asked people to pray that 1 senator wouldn't show up. Many interpreted that as praying for the death of Robert Byrd.

4. That infuriated me. n/t

[Jamastiene]

3. Even worse, Senator Coburn...

wanted to pray his enemies will suffer.

The article in this link explains why that pertains to Senator Byrd:

THAT made my blood boil over.

5. It's worse than that...

I'm sure Coburn was talking about Byrd...

I call on the distinguished gentleman from IL, Sen Durbin, to take his foot out of Sen. Coburn's ass

7. Ya Think??? LOL

I'm not surprised Colburn went the full rushbo on the Senate floor. Whatelse can these scumbags do other than bump their gums and try to get attention. To quote Senator Byrd..."shame, shame" (that should be the theme song of this Senate).

:hi:

[blondeatlast]

22. I believe so too. They;ve taken the rhetoric of the used-car salesman to

an entirely new (lower) level).

[KharmaTrain]

6. Anyone Remember Terri Schaivo???

DeLay hammered in the House at midnight to ramrod what was a blatantly unconstitutional law in the House and did it at 1am. Or even better was his holding votes open for hours on end so he could bribe or intimidate enough votes. Most of those happened at 3am.

Senator Byrd wasn't too happy to have been there, but this is still his job. And his voice was amung the loudest when the cloture vote was held last night.

BTW...the rushpublicans sure didn't hestitate to dig Strom Thurmond out of his crypt when his vote was needed. Typical GOOP bullshit. Looks like I'm going to avoid the teevee until Ed Schultz comes on...

[GoCubsGo]

8. I pity them, for Karma is a b*tch.

Oh, wait! No I don't. What goes around comes around, and I will not feel the least bit sorry for them when it does come around.

[sendero]

9. The only bright side..

... in passing this bill IMHO will be to rub the Republicans' nose in the shit. This is how we felt for 8 long years. Tough shit assholes.

[Christa]

10. Everytime I think they cannot go lower

they surprise me again.


Bottomfeeders, all of them

[gratuitous]

15. When the Republicans hit rock bottom

They pull out the jackhammers.

[wizstars]

19. The difference between a repuglican and a catfish:

...One is a cold-blooded, mud-dwelling bottom-feeding scum-sucker; the other one is a FISH!

[bobburgster]

11. I agree with all you said, but.....

"..totally impotent lunatics.."


the above statement. I wish they were, but they are a sneaky, potent bunch of A-holes.

[Mira]

14. Good point

Despicable actions are their Viagra

[MineralMan]

12. This is yet another example of the reason we all need

to direct our anger at the Republicans, rather than at Democrats who don't vote precisely as we would like. We need to constantly point out the pure evil that is the Gross Old Obstructionist Party (GOOP). We have elections in 2010. If we play our cards right, we could have an even larger majority. If we continue to snipe at each other, rather than focusing on the prize, we will not accomplish that.

It is our decision, as Democrats. What will we do?

[H2O Man]

13. Recommended.

The republicans in Washington, DC, are among the most evil figures in history.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

16. Was there precedent for doing this?

[samsingh]

17. repugs have no compassion and bet that had it been the other

way around, their members would have been crying and balling their eyes out at how mean Democrats are to them.

repugs have become the enemy of decency.

[spanone]

18. they are shit

[JimWis]

20. I feel the same way Mira. K&R

[felinetta]

21. I have said for a long time, they have no soul, no humanity.

[Mithreal]

23. And they were praying for death or accident as well.
