aniladesai : “When the % reaches ZERO….”

We can certainly hope that the Democrats in Congress form a large circle, and then each one will shoot the Democrat on the right in the head.

Do it, Dems. DO IT FOR THE CHEEELDRINE!

It is to be expected in a Congress led by Nancy “My Husband Gets FedContract Kickbacks” Pelosi and subcomittee chairmen like Abscam Murtha.

A new low. They’re centimeters from below the gutter!

Maybe a new low, but I’ll bet a bag of subsidized peanuts they will continue to dig.

I fully understand this. The rule of law means nothing to liberals – especially if something is not going their way. Prime examples:

Their treatment of the Second Amendment.

Their attempts to usurp the executive war powers.

The passing of the buck with the creation of regulatory agencies with their own powers to create law.

That’s just for starters.

I can’t really understand why the Dems would pull something like this intentionally over a vote so minor. I mean, where is the political upside in voting to allow illegal aliens to sponge money intended for farmers (and realistically, how many illegals own farms such that they might be eligible in the first place).

LagunaDave on August 4, 2007 at 12:51 PM

Vote wasn’t about illegals who own farms. Was about food stamps for illegals.(According to a WaPo or NYT article picked up by a local paper.)
USDA administers that program.

Not defending the dems. Just offering some details.

Is this how democracy self-destructs?

This is how the short lived Democracy destructs the long lived Republic.

I’m glad that there are still a few people in Congress that understand right from wrong, and have the courage to stand up and say so.

Way to go, Congressman Blunt.

petefrt on August 4, 2007 at 2:37 PM

No, sir. Volatile arguments are how a democracy sustains itself.

Complacency is how a democracy self-destructs. America has been on the path of Rome for most of my life. It’s good to see tempers flare up instead of watching people shrug it off. Maybe the real America is re-awakening.

What i see in the big picture ahead is Liberals
aer going to get a lot worse,heck they literaly
think they won the last two Presidential elections.
Their mindset is whatever it takes.
Republicans are still and always will be fair
and honest.
Democrats are going to do whatever,and were-ever it takes.

Margin of error from that poll = 1.1%. Getting closer to being irrelevant every day.

DCA on August 4, 2007 at 4:51 PM

So they could actually be at 1.9%, huh?

What a thought.

It is getting past time to clean these bums out of office. Both Dems and Rep. When our “leaders” place the rights of ILLEGAL aliens above those of our Senior Citizens it says alot. When our “leaders” can not agree what is more important our senior citizens or a bunch of illegals. It says alot. When the dems are more concerned about “winning” then about what is in the bill it says alot. Our “leaders” are speaking to us our we listening? Hopefully in 2008 we the people will be saying alot and Congress better listen this time. They have few chances left to hear our voice.

YouTube has marked both comments on this video as SPAM and is not allowing additional comments. I have a screen cap.

This is not what democracy is about.

Kudos! Win or lose, Americans are entitled to good process in government, and last night was definitely a debacle.

Time for a little bit of well placed outrage!

Ordinary1 on August 4, 2007 at 1:58 PM

Hell yes but I sure haven’t seen it.
This kind of slide by legislation is exactly how our immigration system has became so screwed up.

If the vote weren’t bungled would we have known at all?

Hopefully, the Dems stealing this vote will show the world their willingness to do anything to get their way, and their willingness to take benefits away from senior citizens to give to non-citizens. (where is AARP or the State of Florida on this one?!) This rises to a level I find hard to believe. I’m very hopeful for a huge reaction from the country on this. Unfortunately, I’ve been disappointed before. On the bright side, I’ve been encouraged before too. Shutting down the switchboard at Congress over this is a good start. Time for a little bit of well placed outrage!

This Congress is a gift from God for the GOP in ’08. The DailyKos crowd having gained some smattering of respect from the dimo candidates by their attendance at their convention will now come out of the woodwork and show the nation how low politics can go. Congress is just setting the stage.
