It appears that the House GOP strategy is to 'slow' things down by making them

vote 'yeas' and 'nays' on every single thing.

3. The GOP is just going to keep showing their smelly @sses.

7. The sad part is the people calling in on CSPAN were goofy. Heard a couple

good callers, but most seem to not have a clue about what is going on. It is pretty obvious that the republicans are trying to slow down all the votes so the 100 hour promise is broken. Some guy was upset about the attempt at a "secret" vote. They are trying to save time is all. Wonder if all the secret votes when the repugs were running things bothered him. I bet not.

9. Well they are only 15 min long

And it will help Democrats realize they can't trust rethugs, and not try to treat them has adults.
