.

I love this

I love when they are passionate like they are today. This is what Democracy looks like.

Kick some ass!!

Pussies!!

Hunter is freaking.

supports the illegal invasion....big shocker that

forget the rules of order stuff.

:popcorn:

Go, Peter!!!

heard, futrios as to how the Republicans are spinning the position of Mur.

wording of this resolution by the head of the Armed Services Com against the nation.

saying "if you want us to vote on the Murtha resolution, then give us the ACTUAL one, not this counterfeit one."

Chair can not control the memebers, as Dems are pointedly accusing Duncan Hunter of pulling a stunt.

Hunter is beet red.

:evilgrin:

None of that happening.

The GOP version:

RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately.

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces
in Iraq be terminated immediately.

Murtha Resolution To Redeploy U.S. Forces from Iraq:
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

November 17, 2005

_____________________

Whereas Congress and the American People have not been shown clear, measurable progress toward establishment of stable and improving security in Iraq or of a stable and improving economy in Iraq, both of which are essential to "promote the emergence of a democratic government";

Whereas additional stabilization in Iraq by U, S. military forces cannot be achieved without the deployment of hundreds of thousands of additional U S. troops, which in turn cannot be achieved without a military draft;

Whereas more than $277 billion has been appropriated by the United States Congress to prosecute U.S. military action in Iraq and Afghanistan;

Whereas, as of the drafting of this resolution, 2,079 U.S. troops have been killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom;

Whereas U.S. forces have become the target of the insurgency,

Whereas, according to recent polls, over 80% of the Iraqi people want U.S. forces out of Iraq;

Whereas polls also indicate that 45% of the Iraqi people feel that the attacks on U.S. forces are justified;

Whereas, due to the foregoing, Congress finds it evident that continuing U.S. military action in Iraq is not in the best interests of the United States of America, the people of Iraq, or the Persian Gulf Region, which were cited in Public Law 107-243 as justification for undertaking such action;

Therefore be it

I) Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in

2) Congress assembled,

3) That:

4) Section 1. The deployment of United States forces in Iraq, by direction of Congress, is

5) hereby terminated and the forces involved are to be redeployed at the earliest practicable

6) date.

7) Section 2. A quick-reaction U.S. force and an over-the-horizon presence of U.S Marines

8) shall be deployed in the region.

9) Section 3 The United States of America shall pursue security and stability in Iraq

10) through diplomacy.

He was on Tweety and stated his case very well. Called the BS the Repukes are pulling REPREHENSIBLE! Tweety asked him what kind of Mickey Mouse game they were playing!

peace.

What is next?

Somebody throw that rule book at the Chair.

pathetic partisan political ploy. Rep. Nita Lowey NY

Darn tv keeps blipping out...

They're booing her!!! I LOVE IT!

Where's Paul Hackett, dammit?

under the guise of an 'email from a soldier'. Major boos and hisses from the galley!

No more talking for her today.

?

Every house republican should send there kids to iraq now.

Murtha plan was cowardly and his plan not fitting of a marine.
it is being ruled on as to whether she was out of order

melted quite a few votes.

(nelson laugh)
ha-ha!

I tuned in just as they were saying they were going to take down the words and the c-span thing said someone might be disciplined for using words inappropriate for debate.


She didn't pull a Cheney, did she?

This is what we get... MEAN JEAN



I cannot believe my ears. I am ashamed.

but Marines never do." Not sure that's the exact wording. Booed roundly, as she deserved. Utterly lacking in decency.

who has the popcorn??

Never seen anything like this.

That's right, write her ass up!!

My tv sound went out

Someone called her on the "coward", and the chair will have to determine whether or not what she said was alright.

If she did wrong, she can't speak again...

On edit: Looks like she's getting called for the portion of the phone call she "got" from someone saying Rep. Murtha was not a Marine, because we don't cut n' run...

Cspan says that rule is used to discipline a member for using inappropriate words in debate. In this case, calling Murtha a Coward.

And the clerk will read them back to see in inappropriate. You will get to hear it all in a few.

Unfucking believable...

... banned????

Holy shit!

that said only cowards cut and run, or something to that effect. She basically took cover behind the fact that it was a constituents e-mail to slander Murtha...

Now the chair will decide whether she'll be silenced for the day. I doubt the chair will silence her. They'll say it wasn't her opinion, it was the author's opinion... :grr:

until his next visit with Fitzgerald.

:mad:

How embrassing for Ohio! Her first major appearance on the scene and she gets slapped down by her own words!

Freaky!

She just called Murtha a coward FOR someone else ... what, no opinion of her own that she is willing to stand behind?

I hope she is found out of order!

Things are getting testy!

Where is the media?

It was cutting in and out earlier.

He wants us to pull out now so that no one has to live life with a deformity. Is he a coward you pathetic piece of crap? In fact why dont you serve or have your kids serve to back up your bile.

about the fallen troops.

Guess we can when they are political props for the Repugs.

Some Dem should introduce a Schmidt resolution that says that and vote against it.

"Some Dem should introduce a Schmidt resolution that says that and vote against it."

Only after you do some fancy cuttin' and pastin'...

I'm waiting for chairs to fly or something.

Punches thrown? What happened?

The Speaker was forced to suspend the House and have her words taken down

Frickin incredible. GO DONKEYS!

WOOT

It's like being at a Philadelphia Eagles football game up in the nosebleed seats.

screaming with glee over something occuring on CSPAN.

This is an argument they can't win. It gets their nutty base drooling, but this was the same thing the GOP tried during Nam. It makes you sound like you ENJOY watching those kids die.

Looks like they are all taking a break.

Jean Shit is back tracking now. She is asking for her words to be withdrawn.

if I get that right...

:rofl:

...she got her parting political shot in.

She spews the "stay the course" line as a parting shot.

GAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

...I say this is the way it should be. We should be raising hell and checking these criminals at every step.

The world expected us to act like civilized beings too, not like fascist goons, which is what the Bushies are.

So glad I can agree with something. That woman was making my head explode... Trying to calm down.

:hi:

or your smears!

Slander from Jean Schmidt, and rhetoric...

Go McGovern!!!

more than the pathetic smears from you over the last day". Very close to the quote.

Things are starting to change in this country. Finally FINALLY!!!!

I missed most of what happened. How did the dems scare them?

Time to catch a breather :blush:

Fuck them all.
