Repubs stole and are stealing last night and today...Fox is talking about
Scott Peterson.

It was heartbreaking listening to Alcee Hastings, Shirley Jackson Lee, and Barney Franks report on the theft that is going on right now - a theft against the citizens. As pointed out by Franks, when passed, Bush has 10 (20?) days to study (lol-study) it and Democrats are not getting 20 minutes to read it. They were locked out. This, my friends, is b-partisan representation brought to you by thieves.

Quick clicked to RPNs (Republican Proganda Networks) and CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN Headline all were showing commercials - Fox was showing Peterson.

Communism Nazism Fascims brought to you by Republicans. Something about abortion is included.

And if anyone thinks that any Republican Congressperson will think it unfair and vote against it.....ha ha ha This is DeLay territory and all his friends just turned Congress around for him this week.

These are honorable people?

1. Hehe..."bush study"...
he will need ALL 24 hrs of each of those days. Maybe instead of waiting for a hardcopy they can just send it to him over the "internets".

3. Some House Republicans finalized the budget overnight without Dems -
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 10:45 AM by higher class
everyone has to vote on it today without being able to read it - supposedly some abortion things are in it.

Can you believe it - they won't even be able to read it and the Republicans are calling it a great effort.

The Railroading Republican Party rips another one.

Watch C-Span if you can - it's an unusual Saturday live session so they can go home for the holidays.

WATCH THEFT IN PROGRESS.

4. The Democrats in Congress need to write down talking points
on all the dirty tricks they're facing from the Republican party. Then we need to send it through the e-mail rounds.

E-mail is the only real vehicle of communication for us on the internet and the mainstream.

7. I hope the Congressional Dems now truly understand
who they are dealing with here. The Repugs are not content merely to knock us down, but will stomp on us and then throw us off a cliff. (Yes, I was just reading something about Grover Norquist.)

There is no bi-partisanship from the other side. There is only naked power and greed.

Bless the Dems who stand up to them...at least they can hold their heads up for making their voices heard. But damn, it hurts to see our country stolen from the people.

8. I've been watching it too. Our guys gave some great speeches.
I was struck by the fact that each one was only allowed to talk for a specified period of time. I understand they have to have rules to follow, but three minutes to discuss your opposition to what is going on???
