n/t.

[malaise]

5. Fabulous

Go Nancy - I hope every dem walks out

[Ken Burch]

6. Cool

Er...you did just mean she was joining them for the walkout, right?

[liberalmuse]

7. Let's see if the 'good 'ol boys' on our side...

have the courage to do the same. Minorities and women are not surprising. I want to see some over privileged white men take a stand!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Brava!

[Blue Owl]

13. If that's movin' up, then I'm MOVIN' OUT...

Sing it, Sister...

[Whisp]

14. is this a protest walk out?

[siligut]

27. Against holding Atty. Gen. Holder in contempt. nt

[lamp_shade]

15. Go Girl.

[DearAbby]

16. Can you imagine what people

who aren't really paying attention....WILL NOW.

This action will bring a spot light on what the GOP has been doing since Obama took his oath of office.


It's a wake up call.

[redqueen]

17. Excellent. nt

[Manifestor_of_Light]

18. Nancy Rocks.

I hope all the Democrats walk out. There may be some DINOs that stay.

Anybody know how many peeps you need for a quorum to vote?

[jwirr]

19. I love her. So if they win the vote with the help of some turncoat dems what comes next? Does

he have to go to jail until President Obama ransoms him by turning over the papers to their fish hunt?

[Gregorian]

20. I was so hoping she'd do this!

I didn't call her office because I assumed she wouldn't. Shame on me.

Yay!!!!

[Caeser67]

21. I Love Nancy Pelosi!

[INdemo]

24. Ok..so what do we do about the 17 Democrats that voted with the Repukes,,

anyone taking names?

[rocktivity]

22. The Dems may lose the battle of this vote

But they've already won the war. Cue the Vonage theme!


rocktivity

[INdemo]

23. ..There are 13 Democrats voting with the Republicans

..They may be labeled as a Democrat but obviously they are corporatist and should not be allowed to caucus with the Democrats again...

[xxqqqzme]

26. scared of the nra - who elected THEM?

n/t

[olegramps]

31. These people absolutely disgust me.

I would like to vomit on these assholes. They are worthless pieces of excrement whose only goal is to suck the government tit. Their only care is to get elected and reap the benefits that the congress has provided the scumbags. If the national committee doesn't cut all funds and support from these bastards they will never see another dollar from the household.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. LOL!!!!

Right after the vote the guy handling the gavel said, "What are we doing now"?

How about JOBS you assholes?

Anyone else notice the significance that Boehner is NOT presiding over this farce?

[Generic Brad]

28. This is the 2010-12 Congresses "Terry Schiavo" moment

The GOP has overreached and this will not sit well with the electorate - especially on a day the President has a major victory. This just makes it look like an extra helping of sour grapes from a group of out of touch whiners who are on a losing team.

[MichiganVote]

29. Just don't use the uh..vagina..word

[calimary]

34. VAGINA!!!!

FUCK YOU, boner!

[patrice]

41. Right on! :-)))))))))))))))))))))

[calimary]

43. Actually, I'm rethinking that. NOT FUCK YOU, boner!

As in - I hope you don't get any. For a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNG time!

[aaaaaa5a]

30. Nancy Pelosi is great! NT

[B2G]

32. Have they walked out yet?

[calimary]

33. Looks like a LOT of 'em joined the Black Caucus.

Saw Steny Hoyer out there, too.

How 'bout that? Backbone on parade - on OUR side for a change!
