BREAKING: House Democrats Shut GOP Entirely Out of Process


The House Democrats tonight have denied Republicans the opportunity to offer any amendments at all on spending bills.

Any.

This is the first time in the history of our Republic that this has happened.

Senate Republicans should stick up for their House brethren and shut down the Senate as the House GOP is now pretty much powerless.

Setting aside partisanship seems to rank up there

with ethics, transparency, etc. in Pelosi’s playbook.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the Senate GOP to demonstrate any cojones. They’re too busy trying to figure out how to use the NRSC to get liberals elected.

I agree

Especially with the nadless one in charge of the Senate GOP. Nothing will happen

Well, atleast we have a winning issue.

Lets see the positive here. Sure, our country may be bankrupted now, but hey, I see two positives.
1) Anything goes wrong, they can’t blame us
2) We can campaign on the issue of extreme partisanship

Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.

 

Maybe the Republicans do not need to show up for the House vote...

Hey, if they are going to leave you out of the process, then spend your time on the news channels when it comes up for a vote and tell the American people why you are on the news instead of voting for something you had no say in. I guess Tom Delay wasn’t as bad as the Democrats made him out to be, this is far worse than anything I have seen in my life.

 

House GOP should just leave

Make a big show of storming out of Congress and say they will spend all their time debating and voting on spending bills campaigning in Dem districts.

If The Dems Can Gain Just 34 More House Seats...

IJB Tuesday, June 16th at 8:51PM EST (link)

…They could vote to expel every GOP member of the House, if they so chose.

I really don’t think you can rule the possibility out.

that would start a civil war...

No kidding, that would be Archduke Ferdinand moment for the United States of the 21st century. That is what we call a Saddam Hussein coup without the shooting in the head that occured outside.

It will be real interesting

when the divorce comes.
The producers will have had enough. We will not pay anymore federal taxes to support the obscene spending. If we have no representation then they won’t have any taxes. Plain & simple.
Imagine an America where 60% of the population devolves into something that looks like Iran. Those politicians that shut out the other side will be the first that gets a pitchfolk up the rear.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 
 
 

The Dem leadership

has concluded that the Ministry of Truth and Public Non-education have, as planned, assured that the electorate aren’t paying any attention to what the congress does or how it is done as long as the treasury keeps benefit checks flowing.

We haven’t seen the Politburo created overnight. As most all of you know, it’s incremental.

Here is a tidbit from my reading yesterday, on the subject of Fabian Socialism:

“The stream of publications which flowed from the Fabian pens, especially the Fabian Essays of 1889, did much to shape the course of [British] Labour politics. The outlook, in the main, was practical and empirical, owing little to dogmatic theory and nothing to Marx. Great stress was placed on THE SLOW AND INTRICATE NATURE OF THE CHANGE TO SOCIALISM–THE ‘INEVITABILITY OF GRADUALNESS’.”

–The Great Democracies, Churchill’s History of the English Speaking Peoples

Each usurpation enables further usurpation of our rights.

Note =Capitalization mine because I’m an inept formatter.

So how has this event been forced. A rule change, a move in the committees? This is a nightmare.

So does this mean that since my congressman's

voice (Phil Roe R-TN01) won’t be heard on these spending bills I’m being taxed and not represented? Yeah, I thought so.

Now another question, what flavor of socialism is this? Communism? Fascism?

I do like DTOM’s idea above about the House R’s Hey, spending their time on the news channels when it comes up for a vote and telling the American people why they’re on the news instead of voting for something they had no say in.

holding Townhalls explaining what is going on in DC rather than be there when they have ZERO say in anything that is happening… At least, taking turns trading off being out of DC and back in Districts…. They all have mutltiple methods of communication to reach each other and quick transport back to DC should they need to be called back by FELLOW CONSERVATIVES in order to help Pass/Block proper/good legislation (as if we’ll see any of that come out of Pelosi/Reid/Frank/Dodd/ObamaBinBiden).

Now I have another question: This is just spending bills for now, but how long before R’s are shut out of all debate? Healthcare comes to mind right off, but that’s really just a huge spending bill in a not so good disguise.

with it. Why not continue to shut out the Republicans from debate no one is going to call them on it, nor will the MSM tell the American people. Now is the time to go on the permanent campaign and use the Democrats actions as a campaign platform or as evidence of the typical SOP for elected Dems.

Speaking of the MSM not telling the American people

TNJim (Diary) Tuesday, June 16th at 10:33PM EST (link)

I haven’t found anything yet that speaks of this. Looks like the presstitutes are carrying out their assigned duties pretty good so far.

Hey Erick, how did you hear about it?

‘I have an entire Network that does nothing but oppose me’ (or some BULL like that, O’Reilly and Greta both had segments on it too)….

While 99% of Print Media and all the other TV Networks want to put on the Blue Dress for Obama… and they will launder it, to erase the evidence!!!

its all there -- Rule 13

David Hinz (Diary) Tuesday, June 16th at 11:03PM EST (link)

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and ‘frozen.’…

“…any target can always say, ‘Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?’ When your ‘freeze the target,’ you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments…. Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the ‘others’ come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target…’

“One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other.”

Ah, yes. Good ole Sal. How could I have forgotten? nt

You can keep saying it until you're Liberal (er.. that would be "Blue") in the face....

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Tuesday, June 16th at 10:44PM EST (link)

They (MSM) will keep on with the deflection/distraction narratives:

FROM: Erickson’s: Good news/Bad News Diary

It will be all about questioning why so many Republicans after 8 years of Bush would all of a sudden want to NOT fund the War Bill! It will be all about the 5 Republicans that joined with the Democrats and nothing to do with the 32. It will be all about how those courageous 5 avoided the blatant Partisanship of the “Party of NO” … yadda, yadda, yadda…. blah, blah, blah….

FACTS will have nothing to do with it – only the above spin… And for those not paying attention to the other Diaries and maybe not up to speed on this – it was NOTHING to do with the War funding… It was ALL ABOUT forcing this one to FAIL so that a new one could be put forth w/o the IMF BS…. THIS VOTE was all about the IMF, not the Wars – in so far as our Government Spending and NOT bailing out Foreign Banks! It was/is all about non-germane policy decisions being rammed through that would otherwise NEVER be able to pass on its own merit! There are still so many Americans that still have NO CLUE how our Government currently works beyond how it was intended to work and are therefore susceptible to the MSM spin BS.

The MSM keeps playing so many Americans, including far too many people who consider themselves Conservatives (see: The “Pretend you’re a Liberal MSM reporter (and Spin the story)” Challenge)for complete fools and they keep falling for the trap everytime. +Media feeding R infighting – MSM uses snippets out of context to feed Republican in-fighting narrative additional commentary on that here (speaking out against SoSo discussion) and here

This [HR.2346] story is easy to spin by including certain facts while omitting others.

It sits quite snuggly between Communism and Fascism and oscillates back and form so as to resemble both.

That’s what I call Pelosi in this post. She’s apparently more comfortable with Putin’s Russia than with Jeffersonian Democracy.

 

I hope Reid and the Senate Dems do the same thing.

mbecker908 (Diary) Tuesday, June 16th at 10:00PM EST (link)

The *** wipes who pass for Republicans – and especially the so-called leadership – should get their noses rubbed in it big time. Hopefully it will be obvious enough that the Dems have no use for anybody else the message will stick and we won’t have to listed to fricking Oren Hatch talking about his Democratic “friends”.

Enjoy it folks. You damn well better learn from it. Jerks.

“Senate Republicans should stick up for their House brethren and shut down the Senate as the House GOP is now pretty much powerless.”
———-

What the Republicans need to do is turn this into a campaign commericial for every seat in the House and those in the Senate up for re-election in 2010. Forget this solidarity crap, that simply won’t happen and means nothing…

Americans will not remember this type of abuse of power unless they are reminded of it over and over. Come the fall of 2010, no one will remember this or any other abuse of power/corruption on the part of the Corruptocrats unless they are reminded day after day!

 

and this includes...

Nancy Pelosi : “Elect us, hold us accountable, and make a judgment and then go from there. But I do tell you that if the Democrats win and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan.”

And so it goes.
