DEMOCRATS: Stop bringing a copy of Roberts Rules of Order
to what is clearly a knife fight!

Civility and decorum can only take you so far.

So far off the edge of the political cliff that you will hit the ground before the ink is dry on another republican warped bill.

Please, for the sake of our country, fight back!

3. That isn't Roberts Rules of Order that they have; it's DLC Guidelines.

7. the un-reccers are busy
"HOW DARE YOU DEMAND THAT WE FIGHT BACK!!! HOW DARE YOU DEMAND THAT WE GROW A SPINE!!! WE NEED TO SING OUR HIPPY PROTEST SONGS AND ACT LIKE IF WE JUST PRETEND ITS OK IT'LL BE OK!!!"

speaker boehner thanks them. passive resistance still gets you killed and no one cries for martyrs who never stand for anything.

10. Not at all...
It is a metaphor to simply get rid of the civility from the proceedings and start fighting...

I'm not suggesting, either, that the republicans actually use knives.

13. Pardon me for posting when I was angry yesterday....
Upon reflection, I should have stated that I will not vote for a Senator in the democratic primary if there is someone else available.

I would clearly not vote for a republican since I am an avid democrat.

BTW, who died and left you boss...
