Democratic House clock update

It's easy to pass anything when you cut out any real debate about the issues. This is not representative legislation the same way it wasn't when the republican's did it.

You're right Jeff. Why don't you start posting as Bill again and quit making an *** of yourself.

Why do all the loony-tune Lefties think Jeff is Bill, I'm JD, etc., etc? Are you Deranged Lefties that whacked out??? Don't anwer, all of you already have. Whacked it is.

Who is this bill you speak of?

Loon,

I've been laughing at how deserate the pro - Republican posters have become,and I'm not surprised that Little Johnny is touchy about this subject.

John D,JD,Leo T.,No Name.
Same posters,differnt e mail address's and post names,a real "genius" move by Little Johnny.

And the GOP ship keeps sinking.....

Is this really happening? A clock, you are, he isn't ??? Where can I buy this much time with nothing to do??

Jeff like I said its only the first 100 hours Republicans are locked out. America needs Bills passed not talk like you have done for six years

I'm surprised none of the usual curmudgeons asked if the Democrats bought the clock w/ their own money or taxpayer money bought it.

If I were Bush I'd throw it right back in their faces and say, "I'll veto any legislation that locks out the minority, sorry you can't be bipartisan only when it suits your political needs."

"I'll veto any legislation that locks out the minority, sorry, you can't be bipartisan only when it suits your political needs."

Wow, would that not by the absolute height of hypocrisy for Bush, after signing hundreds of bills passed under these same rules? Bush never had a problem with partisanship before.

Remember "you can't be bipartisan only when it suits your political needs." goes both ways!

Exactly right, Jeff. Shutting the Republicans out of any debate, giving them all bills with no possibility they might be able to amend them in any way, wording them so that they vote either for or against (and be judged according to whether they voted for or against a bill on which they had no input whatsoever) would be exactly the way Republicans did things ever since De Lay and Hastert were in charge. How astute of you to notice that. It WAS pretty easy for the Republicans, wasn't it?

Yes, it was wrong then and it's wrong now. The only thing is Pelosi and Emanuel were the ones who campaigned against it. Not Bush. That's the difference.

The libs took power last Thursday, I think their first 100 hours in power are about up. Does taking Monday off count against them?

I haven't laughed so hard as watching the Republicans whine on CSPAN today. Quite a show now that the shoe's on the other foot, eh?

I haven't laughed so hard since the last Colbert show. Remember that Dem campaign promise that as soon as they got in, they'd do a 100-hour blitz of legislation? It's currently 9 days--216 hours--into the Democrats "first 100 hours", and nothing has happened. Correction: something DID happen. The Democrats postponed, twice, the start of the "100 hours", then redefined what "100 hours" means. The Democrat leadership assumes--correctly, it appears--that their own followers can't count. Or that their followers can't (or choose not to) remember their campaign promises.

Karen, thank you for disabusing me of the notion that things have changed at all in Washington. I was foolish to have believed it in the first place. I won't be fooled again.

"It's currently 9 days--216 hours--into the Democrats "first 100 hours", and nothing has happened."

Bruce, you consider a passing a major anti-terrorism bill implementing recommendations of the 9/11 Commission "nothing"?

Hmm, interesting priorities.

Bruce,
Just passed; minimum wage increase.
Now for the Repubs to filibuster it in the Sen.

CMorris,

You mean the minimum wage bill that does raise the minimum wage for Americans. Why were certain areas left out of the bill? The answer is very telling.

By the way, times up.
