I hope EVERYBODY entering the Capitol is checked for weapons. |

Sweet Jesus. I'm listening to all the anger and outrage being expressed from repubs on the House floor and I'm thinking... disgruntled postal employees ain't got nuthin on these folks.

I took a tour of the Capitol this week and the security to get in was similar to airport security. They even took away water bottles, etc. You go through a metal detector, and they xray all your bags

2. Does that apply to Representatives and Senators? |
|
Or do they have a right to concealed carry?

4. Most of them go through a separate entrance the public does not use. |
|
They have an i.d. card if the guards don't recognize them but there is no detector there.

It was only a few years ago you could walk right in and wander the halls.

10. There are quite a few for which it would not take a weapon |
|
Just sneaking up behind them and going "Boo!" should do the trick.

13. In my lifetime (73 years) I have never seen the hatred at such a high level. The republicans |
|
and teabagger type are nearly berserk in their hatred for Obama.

16. Most of them are completely and utterly full of shit. |
|
They're play acting. They know if their idiot base sees them all riled up on the TeeVee machine they'll vote for them because they strongly opposed the evil Muslim homosexual socialistic abortions. Half of them probably don't care what passes or doesn't pass as long as they can keep getting elected.
