Watching CSpan

http://www.c-span.org/Events/House-Rules-Committee-Meets-on-Measure-to-Send-Bill-to-Conference/10737441638-29/

Jim McGovern is speaking
said," Compromise is not us giving and giving and giving"

Alcee Hastings just said, "you all have lost your collective minds", "You all are giving new meaning to the theater of the absurd"

"You are trying to do everything but the one thing that will work"

He is going off now
"I hope Senator Reid sticks it right back at you

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now a Georgia Tea Turd is whining that they worked hard on a plan and the Senate just rejected and said "do it my way or no way at all"

McGovern just said that it's 11:06pm there is no way to avoid a shutdown now
The repukes want a conference not a vote

Loved it when McGovern told the GOP leadership to put on their big boy pants and bring the clean CR with no strings attached.

Yummy!


Now Polis. Just missed having him as my rep, about 3 miles shy. I'm stuck with Gardner, the ever obedient minion of big oil.

He claims that under Democrats the Govt has been shut down 15 times. Really? I'm 65 years old and the only shut downs I recall were the ones in 1995 and 1996.
