[Sydnie]

1. You're the best - and fast too!

Thank you. :hug:

[rodeodance]

8. This is a vote on the rules of the debate (150 dems say no--an hour

of debate for this important cause is NOT enough).

[rodeodance]

[Wheezy]

[Generic Other]

10. Did I just hear this is the vote to end the discussion and they will have

ANOTHER vote on the resolution right after???

[Sydnie]

33. As they pointed out last night, the time set for the vote is a minimum

there is no maximum as they have proven time and time again.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

36. Do you think they'll replay this on Cspan tomorrow?

[Sydnie]

63. They might show highlights

They geared up a highlights tape and began showing it during the recess a while ago. They might do that again tomorrow.

[gumby]

3. So now another hour of "debate"

before the Repubs vote For the resolution.

[Greeby]

4. Lets remember that the Hunter resolution is non-binding

So it's not like this would have actually gotten the troops out

[gumby]

15. This whole thing is "Drama"

It's an exercise in the Repubs calling the Dems Traitors and Cowards.

[fearnobush]

9. WTF, I hope like hell the dems vote for it, but I know they won't

This sucks

Announcer just said, that after this vote, they get to yell for an hour, then the actual vote takes place

[El Supremo]

11. Man, I tune out all the callers.

9 out of 10 are stupid or geeks. They need a nickname. How about 'Span Freeks?

[uppityperson]

24. really. How dare anyone question anyone?

I mean really, after all , he is our President!

[Midnight Rambler]

Repub callers aren't even making any arguments

Support our troops, support our Commander-in-Chief. Oh my god, they are so brainwashed, it's not even funny anymore, it's just sad. They've got an IV drip full of Kool-Aid, and they keep pressing the button for more.

[El Supremo]

37. Yes, but they sure get emotional. n/t

[GOPNotForMe]

12. Shut up, Grandma.

Ugh, "I trust President Boosh."

[rodeodance]

[GOPNotForMe]

58. No, no way! Was talking to BushBotGrannie. nt

[malaise]

21. The fundie goons are busy

tonight.

[Moochy]

27. Is it wrong to hate such hatemongers like gramma killemall?

is that wrong?

[patrice]

She said we united behind a Democrat president who lost

"a million" soldiers and we should do the same thing behind Bush.

[Paulie]

14. Good work Lou!

You found your calling! :beer:

DK speaks for me!

[astonamous]

25. Compared Iraq invasion to WWII. Lawdy what an insulte to

WWII vets.

[LSK]

I Hate Duncan Hunter!

[RepublicanElephant]

43. hunter: "i'll teach you to mess with my menus!"

.

[IkeWarnedUs]

32. looks like time is up

When time was up the Nays had it - will they keep it open until they have enough votes and then cut it off?

[Endangered Specie]

39. they rarely close it after time is up.

sort of like stoppage time in Soccer

[stlsaxman]

34. 7 R's now against

[ncrainbowgrrl]

53. Bummer- some spineless pug.

[rodeodance]

38. my screen still says 6

[rusty charly]

44. only dems

have "rhetoric", i guess

[mirror wall]

40. So are there any good montages of all the screaming that apparently went

on today?

I heard a bit of it on NPR, but CSPAN.org is a mystery maze to me. I'm sure something will pop up on crooksandliars soon... But maybe there are other places to look?

[Moochy]

45. OMG these callers

(R) are so scared. you can hear it in their voices, they are about to cry.

"Today is a day of reckoning" so the god warrior bitch says.

[Duer 157099]

56. The minute anyone says "nukular" they're branded as idiots imho n/t

[Wheezy]

46. I am so embarrassed

to live in Arizona. :/

[Wheezy]

[DebJ]

[DebJ]

66. oops no Indiana

[Roxy66]

51. Gawd .....shut this lady up!!!

[DebJ]

57. new it was a repuke by the stupid slow talk...had left room for a

minute and got irritated just from the stupidity oozing from her voice

[Sydnie]

70. They gave her lots of time to ramble on

and as usual, she was uninformed. What a waste of long distance lines!

[New Earth]

52. can someone tell this stupid b*tch caller

to STFU?" had to turn the volume down on the idiocy.

[thefloyd]

54. The lady

on the phone is crazy. Nuclear bombs. No more dictators in Middle East? Jesus. Whole Middle East filled with Dictators

[Duer 157099]

65. Doesn't it inspire you to want to go door-to-door

seeking out these people and try to talk reason into them?

that's my first response to hearing this idiocy. they just haven't been exposed to the truth in a long time

[Moochy]

71. and they are scurrred

really scurred.

[thefloyd]

78. I agree

Her voice and reason were based on fear. You could tell just based on her voice. She is still drinking the Rove kool aid

[ncrainbowgrrl]

55. The "Memorandum".

Wow. That's some uneducated koolaid. Tried to use some big fancy words... d'oh.

[Greeby]

60. The vote on "consideration of the Resolution" from earlier is up

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll606.xml

[mb7588a]

61. 5 of the Republicans voting nay:

simpson IN
jones ID
hostetler IN.
gilcrest MD
leech IA

[Wheezy]

69. crap

lost one of the repubs

204 - 202

[LSK]

62. the democrats are united

[roguevalley]

72. they need to walk out together, the dems and repugs that support

their position. its the only way. Unless of course I am not getting something here.

[stepnw1f]

79. Indeed!!!

Everything the GOP does is a positive. Their efforts will just get turned on its head. They are not just fighting the DEMS, they are fighting everybody, reality itself. I am glad to read some of the Dems responses to the GOP's tactics.

Things are looking up!

[Duer 157099]

67. So, what this vote really means is

that Repukes are supportive of a "RUSH TO JUDGEMENT"

idiots

[LSK]

76. good way to frame it

[Bill McBlueState]

68. someone jumped ship

Like a stupid little kid who wants to be popular.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

wonder who it was.

I'm pretty sure it's not Walter Jones.

[rusty charly]

77. they just told them

their name was just read on Cspan and they soiled.

[Bill McBlueState]

83. yeah, cleanup crew on the right side of the aisle

Brownout in progress.

[Stand and Fight]

80. Well, I can say I am sure it was not Walter Jones. n/t

[GOPNotForMe]

73. Did that one psycho AZ woman actually say that ...

we ("the left") love gangs?

When did I miss that meme? Oooh, can we make that part of the '06 platform? "More Gangs. Stronger Gangs."

[Stand and Fight]

74. Arm twisting...

The Republicans got someone to change their vote! From 203 - 203 to 204 - 202 with 22 NV on Republican side and 6 NV on Democratic side.

[RepublicanElephant]

75. repubs will have to make this fail by one vote, so they can claim that...

"we tried, but those unpatriot dems wouldn't let us bring y'all home. nevermind that this thing was non-binding."

[LSK]

81. this is not the final vote

ITs a vote to continue debate. I was fooled too. Rules of the House lol

[K-W]

82. It looks like the repubs are passing it to me.

That is the procedural vote. They will vote against the resolution and not pretend to support it. They are not trying to give anyone the impression they will bring the troops home.

[rodeodance]

85. Is this vote time being extended??>

[rusty charly]

84. fight!

fight!

[rodeodance]

88. I think they just cheated on the time again!

[Stand and Fight]

87. The Yeas have it -- 205 to 202.... No changing... 210 to 202...

There is a ruckus going on now.

Who the hell is cackling like the Emperor from Star Wars.... More votes coming in now -- all have been ayes.

The ayes seem to have the vote. The Republicans will get their stunt...

210 to 202... The motion to reconsider is pursuant upon the table.

[stepnw1f]

90. It Doesn't Matter... Integrity and Truth Trumps Perception

...all in time. The public already lost trust in the GOP. Only their base will believe this was a good move by the House Retards, just for it's adolescent demeanor.

[mb7588a]

94. 210-202

resolution is adopted. motion to reconsider laid on the table, HR 308 adopted.

There will now be an hour of debate before final vote on Duncan's resolution:

HR 572 will now be considered "Expressing the sense of the House that the deployment of U.S. forces in Iraq be terminated immediately.

Hyde (R-IL) and Lantos (D-?) get 30 mins.

[LSK]

86. 210 - 202 Yeas have it

[rodeodance]

92. gee o whole hour for this serious deadly debate. how stupid!

[Duer 157099]

89. So what's the downside of dems voting aye to the resolution?

it won't pass, of course, but why shouldn't they just vote fot it?

[RepublicanElephant]

91. okay, here's the real one.

.

[RepublicanElephant]

93. oh geez, they've wheeled hyde out of the crypt!

!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

95. Thread number 6 is up and ready
