I can't wait for John Dingell to run these disruptive Rethugs
out of the House. I'm sure they know that if anyone knows the rules, it's Dingell. What a bunch of nasty thugs - those RW fascists will destroy every institution in the US one by one.

2. I hope he is just giving them
a set amount of time for their shenanigans, and then is going to run over them.

If not, put somebody else who knows the rules up there, and run over them. I can't believe they would leave Dingell up there unless it is planned.

Hopefully, Pelosi was ready for this or is making a plan. I'd make all of them stay there until the end of time.

LOCK THE DOORS NOW!

6. I don't think anyone knows the rules
as well as Dingell. I dare you Rethugs - keep it up.

11. I couldn't do it.
If I was in charge, I'd make a rule and beat them with the gavel.

4. Asking for Parliamentary rulings every two seconds,
objecting in concert, two and three at a time, before anyone finishes a sentence. General assholism.

10. I probably outta turn it on to see this. I don't think most people are going to be favorably
impressed. May play well with their base, but thats about it.

9. Oh, you should watch but keep your blood pressure meds handy.
Constant objections, constant repeating of the rules by Dingle, constant obstructions. The rethugs are being disgusting. Obvious panic mode.

14. I hope the MSM picks up on this so the American people can
see what they elected into office. It's disgusting and immature.

17. Parade of Robots repeating "Job Killing Freedom Killing Government Run Healthcare"
I guess somebody got the talking points memo.

24. exacty what I was going to say...
and don't forget 'tyranny'. I thought it was a spit take moment when a rethug (!) woman (don't know which one) commented that the bill would prevent women and their doctors from making healthcare decisions. WOW.

8. I am yearning for a call for the Sargent at Arms. . When was the last
time a rep was forcibly removed from the floor?

19. I think it has been a while
because the Rethugs have been in power. They are desperately trying to mollify the teapotters because they are all running scared.

It won't help. I believe that the teapotters are out to get all the incumbents thrown out.

21. They are running primary opponents against
some of the most conservative members in the House already. I didn't think there were people further to the right of some of them.
The people they have found have maps that say "Here be dragons!"

23. It's All Kabuki Theater...
A prediction (and not a stretch)...after the vote is taken, the rushpublicans will throw a shitfit...march out, down the capitol steps and have another "press conference".

I think I should point out the shoe was on the other foot a decade ago in the Clinton inquisition...Democrats were rightly outraged and were shut out of the debate since they didn't have control. This is the ultimate example of why elections matter.
