Damn democrats anyway! Who are they to ask us to participate in our own
government! ROFLOL


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure
that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation.
Pelosi's proposals are so draconian, and will so polarize the Capitol, that
any thought President-elect Obama has of bipartisan cooperation will be
rendered impossible before he even takes office.

Pelosi's rule changes -- which may be voted on today -- will reverse the
fairness rules that were written around Newt Gingrich's "Contract with
America."

In reaction, the House Republican leadership is sending a letter today to
Pelosi to object to changes to House Rules this week that would bar
Republicans from offering alternative bills, amendments to Democrat bills or
even the guarantee of open debate accessible by motions to recommit for any
piece of legislation during the entire 111th Congress. These procedural
abuses, as outlined in the below letter obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, would also
include the repeal of six-year limit for committee chairmen and other House
Rules reform measures enacted in 1995 as part of the Contract with America.

After decades of Democrat control of the House of Representatives, gross
abuses to the legislative process and several high-profile scandals
contributed to an overwhelming Republican House Congressional landslide
victory in 1994. Reforms to the House Rules as part of the Contract with
America were designed to open up to public scrutiny what had become under
this decades-long Democrat majority a dangerously secretive House
legislative process. The Republican reform of the way the House did business
included opening committee meetings to the public and media, making Congress
actually subject to federal law, term limits for committee chairmen ending
decades-long committee fiefdoms, truth in budgeting, elimination of the
committee proxy vote, authorization of a House audit, specific requirements
for blanket rules waivers, and guarantees to the then-Democrat minority
party to offer amendments to pieces of legislation.

Pelosi's proposed repeal of decades-long House accountability reforms
exposes a tyrannical Democrat leadership poised to assemble legislation in
secret, then goose-step it through Congress by the elimination of debate and
amendment procedures as part of America's governing legislative process.

Well, I might be more worried, but a republican president got us here,

Personally, I hope Newt-the-newt burns in hell. He is still attempting
to have no change and take us though more of the hell we have gone
through in the last eight years! How he is going to sell the public
that "things have been done right" will be interesting to see ...
frankly, I am ready to call the man a liar, crook and jerk!

I am not aware of this; I will have to do some research. But, me
thinks the republicans have been so quick to cry wolf that not much
attention is paid them, anymore ... as far as the bills goes--there
needs to be one simple law, the bills are either wholly accepted or
wholly rejected ... if just one thing ain't right, go back and rewrite it!

These "geniuses" keep telling us they are the best ... krist, I'd
suspect my garbage man could have done a lot of damage, however, if you
rounded up all the alcoholics, drug addicts, criminals, nuts, etc., I
think they could have done a comparable job of creating a mess like this!

I am damn ****ed when my politicians are printing IOU's (in the form of
dollar bills) which my grandchildren and great grandchildren will be
left to pay off!

I can't even tell the difference between republican criminals and
democratic crooks anymore! When you get down to trying to figure out
who did the most damage here, democrats or republicans, it is a flip of
the coin!

You would be hard pressed to convince me that ANYTHING done over the
last 30+ years has improved my life, my families lives, my friends
lives, my neighbors lives, etc. Indeed, most of my friends who are
around my age are wondering how they are going to replace their
retirement funds ... they feel as if they have been robbed ... I will
feel better when these republicans and democrats start imprisoning and
hanging the criminals--bipartisan-ly!

Well, I would certainly hate to see any more secrecy, control by big
brother, more cameras by big brother, more thought control laws, more
fear, more unsafe streets, more poverty, more lack of health care, more
poor performance of our schools, more deterioration of public
roads-water-sewer-power-infrastructure, etc. ... everything Obama is
saying and doing, at this time, certainly is not along your fears ...
however, it is always good to keep watch.

After a year, a person should be able to make some sort of rational
appraisment(s) of his performance--say around the middle of January 2010 ...

Uh, no. It will simply be time to ask, "Has the man broke with
tradition and is carrying out what is good for Americans? Is his
proposals, and efforts in this same direction(s)?

If so, IT WILL be time to call for the heads of those attempting to
thwart fixes which are attempting to restore quality of life, and a
general well being for all Americans ...

That's what they told Attila the Hun and Genghis Kahn, too.
