24. I'd make for of those repug congressmen share an office............
Rethug-ville would like like a big open room like that show on TV police shows. No windows and 4 or more to an office with dark gray metal desks.

Also, I'd require all Rethugs to raise their hand and ask permission if they need to leave the House or Senate floor to go to the bathroom.

Otherwise, I'd treat them with all the respect they deserve.

3. According to DUer Katsy, this is the Minority Bill of Rights:

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to be speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning.

If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense.

5. This guy is funny. So worried about everyone having a say. How many times did he stand up for
minority party rights in the last few years? These are the rules his party put in place, he had all the say in the world then, why didn't he fight for minority rights then? Hmmm.....

8. David Dreier, June 2004
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A680-2004...

Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier (R-Calif.) said in an interview that Democrats are crying about the process because they are losing policy debates over job creation and progress in Iraq. His mission as chairman, he said, is "to move our agenda, and to do it in the fairest and most responsible way possible. And I do it in that order."

6. Minority Rights
You have the right to remain silent.

If you say anything it can and will be used against you in a court of law.

If want an attorney and cannot afford one, one will be appointed for you.

Now STFU and sitdown looser.

21. Maybe someone should remind him that the Dems are just following
the rules he and his party put in place ... and that they should put it up in a bill for a vote ...

12. I hope all the Democrats who think that they can work with the Republicans are listening.
This next two years are going to be rough.

The Democrats in Congress need to remember who is in charge now.

Get a spine and use it.

16. This ought to be a wakeup call. NO MERCY.
It's time to get to the business of the American people, who voted for a change from the Repukes' authoritarian tactics. Enough is enough and we should not put up with their shit. We have work to do.

22. You are so right.
We need to kick some

The Reublicans can't let us have our day, not even one.

It is time for the Republicans to go to a basement room to hold a hearing.
