House Dems Show Historic Level of Unity
Paul Kane

House Democrats are voting with such unity that, if continued throughout the 110th Congress, their cohesion would be unparalleled in recent congressional history.

Through the first five months of the year, the average House Democrat has voted with a majority of his/her caucus colleagues on 94 percent of the 425 roll calls. Enjoying their honeymoon period, 110 Democrats -- nearly half of the 232 Democrats -- have sided with a majority of the caucus on at least 98 percent of the votes cast this year.

Consider this: Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) has been the most partisan Republican in the 110th Congress, voting with a GOP majority on 98 percent of votes. But if someone prints out the washingtonpost.com's chart of most partisan voters in the House, they will have to turn through eight and a half pages of House Democrats before they see Putnam's red-headed mug shot (Rep. Charles Norwood R-Ga., who died on Feb. 13 and cast only nine votes in the 110th Congress, is the lone exception.)

No other caucus of House Republicans or Democrats has maintained such a unified voting bloc over a two-year Congress, according to washingtonpost.com's vote tracking feature.

Oh...never mind...

I'd never use sarcasm, especially not in this reply right here. Nope, not me.

The minute Mr. Feingold leaves the room, they all start singing soprano.

It must be because of their non-spherical genitalia.

Barbara Boxer has a huge set of brass ones.

Barbara Boxer's balls are so big, that twice a year they block out the sun.

But in women, their balls are called "ovaries."

"Balls" is a metaphor.



Shown here: Democrats admire one of Barbara Boxers balls, and wonder where they might find one for themselves.

:rofl:

It would be funnier if it weren't so true.

I'm not ready to throw her under the bus right now, but she would certainly do well to seek them out and get back to us soon.

Name one tangible result from Congress since Pelosi took over. There's been a lot of fireworks, but not so much in the area of actual change.
