on the ANWR thread. The House was in session till 6:00 a.m. this morning, I conked out at 3:30 a.m. I couldn't believe, or yes I could how corrupt the Republicans are.

The House went back in session at midnight last night. It was totally a sham.

I stayed up watching until about 3:30 a.m. They put another 42 pages on Avian flu that was not in the conference report and they told the Dems it would not be put in and it was in one of the bills, my God it was so confusing on what was put on what. I think it was the same bill as ANWR and it passed by 6 votes if I'm not mistaken.

The extra 42 pages was all for the sake of Pharmaceutical companies. So if you get a flu shot and you become ill or are damaged from it who knows know matter what medicine you take, you have to show the burden of proof, and if you can't do that you are not allowed to sue and their is no way to compensate for your injuries.

The Oil companies and Drug companies made out big today, the American people were put at the back of the line again.

The Dems stood strong there were some great speeches. Rep. Obey and Kucinich were right on top of all of it. The Defense bill had only been given out 1 hour before the vote over 1,000 pages, who knows what else
they slipped in.

Edited for additional info:

The Defense bill passed by a vote of 308-106

The rule to bring the conference bill to vote on passed by only 6.


You know they always say when will the Dems get a spine, I say when will the Repubs get one and stand up for the American people. We need to vote these bastards out next year, or else we will fall deeper in the hole of facism.

I am totally sick of all this corruption, it has never been this bad ever. :mad: :puke:
