Here's a bill of minority rights for the GOP
1. You have the right to get the same rights that you gave us when we were the minority party

2. You have the right to sit down and shut up

3. You have the right to whine and cry, but do it on your own time

6. Dems have to restore the civil congress ...

Democrats have to restore civility in Congress. We know Republicans would never do it. That having been said though, I don't an initial period operating under Republican rules would do the Republicans some good. A few of them may even learn a lesson.

9. Why?
Why are we supposed to try to be civil and decent with the intolerant theofascist asshats of the opposition party?

Why are we reaching out to meet intolerance halfway?

11. They weren't hired by us to be Ghandi. Their oath of office is to defend
the Constitution and serve their constituents. They are the opposition and they must act like it.

13. Another poster made a great about that "Bill of Rights" the other day..
They tout it being the "same one" word for word that Nancy Pelosi introduced in 2004.

But if they so believed in it, WHY DIDN'T THEY VOTE FOR IT THEN when they were the majority?!

15. The little twit, Patrick McHenry, was asked that question yesterday at the press conference
and know what he said? "I don't know why it wasn't passed. I'm a Junior Congressman and am not involved in such things." :eyes: PURE CRAP! They held their whiny press conference and made FOOLS out of themselves.
