What do you think will happen? How mad will our Democratic leaders get? Will this be a good thing for our party?

1. Emotions are raw and in this case way over due...
Getting pissed off will spill some beans into the record.

7. Exactly
DO they get it yet? Or are they still waiting for total irrelevance?

Fuck decorum. It doesn't win a prize. Try the truth and something risky. That might change history. It's worth a shot. The old playing along to get along.. in the slimy Texas accent words of Dr. Phil:

And how's that working fer ya?

14. Anyone ever see those fights in Taiwan?
Those guys beat the crap out of each other in bench clearing brawls.
Not very pretty but, I suppose, they do get their point across is blunt and direct way.

They're afraid of losing their toupees or messing up their helmet hair or losing their dentures. Oh the horror: Imagine Normie boy without his upper plate. Ugh!

19. It's happened before
There have been a number of fistfights in Congress over the years. I'm pretty sure that right before the Civil War, one Congressman nearly killed another with his cane.

22. The Republicans are mostly chickenhawks.
I'd want Democratic war heros on my side. Imagine Kerry in a fist fight. Biden looks like he's in good shape. We can give Byrd a cane.

Poor Normie and Liz Dole would be no help to the Republicans.

27. In 1856
Representative Preston Brooks (D-S.C.) beat Senator Charles Sumner (R-Mass) senseless with his cane. Brooks was upset about Sumner's references to his uncle, Andrew Butler, in Sumner's speech "The Crime Against Kansas".

26. It's a good thing that congressmen don't carry walking sticks
anymore like in the 1850s.
