The Word "Lie"

[abluelady]

We know it is okay to scream out the word lie in the House. Is there a rule in the Senate that you can't use that word. The Dems keep talking about the untrue statements the Republicans are saying, but they don't come out and say they are lies. Just curious why.

1. Because they're overly-curteous pantywaists.

No, really. That's why.

3. It's in the rules.

2. bipartisanship is a one way street

and that means groveling at the feet of republicans in the hopes they won't be called a "liberal"
