Gingrich proposes that Congress declare the WTC site a national battlefield. Would Dems vote yes?

[onehandle]

Newt apparently said this on some right-wing radio show during the week as a method to stop the community center.

This is the kind of crazy shit that will come with Speaker Boehner's gavel.

Next year, would Democrats answering to Speaker Boehner vote yes on this?

1. Then you can't build shops on it!

So much for the new construction!

9. How do think the owner of WTC (Larry Silverstein) would feel about eminent domain?

[IndianaGreen]

2. When have the Dems said 'No' to the rightwing?

This bipartisan crap is nothing but Munich-style appeasement!

[Arkana]

3. Considering the Burlington Coat Factory is two blocks from the WTC,

I'd say the Dems should let the Pubes have this one just to make them look like idiots.

5. Keith tore him apart on that, but I think that his 'idea' would include the surrounding area.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being half of Manhattan.

The question is would Dems go along with this?

Would they vote against a 'national battlefield?'

8. Would that include Wall Street?

4. 911.. the gift from G.W.Bush that just keeps on giving....

6. Then the site of the Oklahoma bombing should be declared the same, since it was the policies of the

repukes who incited that behavior that occurred in Oklahoma

7. So that means that NOTHING CAN EVER BE BUILT THERE.

10. that might be a problem for

the rethug capitalists. Obviously the newtster didn't think this through or he did and is counting on the mindless mobs to promote his bullshit.

11. Rocktivity proposes that Gingrich take a flying leap

since he was such a miserable failure as both a politician and a moral giant.

12. Kind of hard to call it a 'battlefield'

It's not like two sides were shooting at each other. Even at Pearl Harbor, we shot back.

13. A little warning on the pictures in the future, please.

Good grief.......Aaaack.

15. Get used to it. nt

14. Whatever they want to call the WTC site, the old Burlington Coat Factory was already voted NOT to be

part of the "WTC Site," so the Islamic Community Center wouldn't be affected by it.

16. Well that would get somethin built there.....
