I can't for the life of me see why people vote the same idiots into office time after time. What the hell is everyone afraid of? Vote third party and get rid of these assholes! They've had a monopoly on the house for a hundred years. Let's get rid of them. Have the Dems or Repubs done anything to deserve our loyalty? All I see is a great country getting flushed down the toilet and nobody seems to care.
If Johnny can build 25 picnic tables a day, but Harry can only build 15, a liberal would argue that they should both get paid the same money when Johnny is clearly the better worker and should make more.
@xYxYxYxYxYx Government run health care is not communism. If you truley beleive this, then most western countries around the world would be classified as communist to you.
This was all a dog and pony show to make Dems look bad and Pubs look good. In reality, it was a compromise to garner votes from sadly deluded merkans who think the right/left paradigm means something. It doesn't, and you're idiots for believing the farce!
Since the Democrats are now the majority in the House, they don't HAVE to allow votes on anything the minority Republicans want. The Republicans should just be glad that the Dems allow any of their bills to be voted on.
How can this happen to Americans? How can they not separate two such distinct issues? Do we have representatives? Hell no! How are we expected to know what is happening in our nation? Such an underhanded way to run our nation. Illegal immigrants are illegal. Taxpayers will not subsidize them! WE WILL NOT. This is our country and they cannot have it. GO HOME OR BE ARRESTED!
"This leadership team will create the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history" -- Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Press Release, November 16, 2006.
Dems trying to bully through another amendment to give publicly funded housing and job training to the illegal aliens in this country... I join in BOOO SHAME BOOO. Nancy Pelosi and her party need to start working for American's!!
It seems to me this was all a procedural miscue that the Republicans are blowing out of proportion in order to make it seem as if the Democrats are being unfair to them.
In addition, they actually extended the time allowed for a vote when they were debating a controversial provision of the USA PATRIOT Act in order to pressure some of their own party to change their votes to change the outcome of the debate. It's all on C-Span.
sistirland...you are a dullard. They didn't keep the vote open. They officially closed the vote 215-213. When the democrats realized they lost, they allowed votes that shouldn't have. They broke the rules. Not too hard to see.
I'm sorry that you feel the need to insult me. But the 2004 vote to which I'm referring tied 210-210, not the vote in this video. The Republicans extended the voting time, and forced several of its own members to switch their votes.
I'm well aware of the vote. By your own admission, the Republicans kept the voting open in 2004. They didn't close the vote and then keep accepting votes.
Yes, but they broke the rules when they extended the time to vote. This is just a technicality -- both sides manipulated the system to achieve the outcome they wanted, and that is what people are complaining about here. If you're going to complain, be consistent. There are lots of ways of being true to whatever side you're on without becoming a hypocrite. It desecrates the whole point of why we have rules, and the beauty of the rule of law that has made this country so successful.
People are complaining about a vote whose tally was changed after the vote was closed. Plain and simple. At least extending the time allows a vote to take place. With your method, why even bother. Take a vote...not what we want...change the number. It is no where near the same thing. Enjoy the cool-aid. I'm done.
First of all, it's not "my" method. I didn't say this this the right thing to do. All I'm saying is that Republicans are just as capable of underhand tactics.
Second, you're telling someone that they should commit suicide because they're having a conversation on a board?
"At least extending the time allows a vote to take place."
The point is that a vote was arrived at on that provision in 2004 in the allowed, allotted time established by the rules. But the Republicans didn't like it, so they extended the time to change the outcome. How can this NOT be the same thing?
I'm well aware of the 2004 vote. By your own admission, the Republicans kept the vote open. They never closed the vote and then changed the tally after the vote was closed. That is a BIG difference
Republicans rigged the process when they were in charge. They used parliamentary procedures to block debate on disliked, controversial provisions of bills that they knew would get traction.
Sistirland, both parties try to block debate on disliked issues. However here the Democrats actually suppressed a vote that that didn't turn out the way they wanted it to. This is inexcusable! How un-"democratic" for the so-called Democrats!
Wow!!! I've seen some dirty moves in politics, but this one is unbelieveable. Erasing votes cause they didn't win? And the dems wonder why their approval rating has plummeted since taking power
Have you lived under a rock for the last 7 years? The Republicans tried to throw democracy out the window completely by creating what they called "the permanent Republican majority" by turning our justice system into a political tool.
@darkgatherer This is different from what the Democrats have done over the last 50 years, how? If you studied history you would know that it was a Democrat president, FDR that tried to stack the courts. He even tried to add two justices to do it!

Liberals suck.
They want communism.
Government-run health care is communism.
Affirmative action is racism.
They want you to be on welfare.
They want you to depend on the government.
They do not want you to start your own business.

The issue is that you shouldn't allow yourselves to be manipulated by videos that only provide you a tiny glimpse of a much larger and complex story.
