Anybody else catch what Rachel just said?

[Engineer4Obama]

Dems apparently are gonna bring the hammer down on anyone who supports a health care filibuster. Take away their chairmanships. YOU HEAR THAT LIEBERMAN, BAUCUS?!!

[calimary]

1. Shit, that's what I just said. "You hear that Mr. Baucus?"

You sniveling CONserva-Dem SOB. Who's yer daddy? The people or the insurance lobby? I wouldn't mind seeing him busted down to buck private.

[Old and In the Way]

2. Helluva poker game......

who'll win the pot?

[gilpo]

39. The house always wins...

I hold out very little hope that they will actually listen to us.

[ooglymoogly]

43. I would like nothing more than to get kicked in the teeth and checkmated

in O's 10 dimensional chess....But I fear you are correct; The game is already fixed and it is 10 dimensional chess with donkey kong rules we are playing; Making sure the house will win over and over and over and over. The deck has been stacked since Reagan rigged the house rules signaling the beginning of the fall of "Roma Nuovo" and I am not speaking EUR.

[bluethruandthru]

3. It's about damn time!

[Brigid]

4. Sweet . . .

:evilgrin:

[shadowknows69]

5. Yep, that's how to hit them where it hurts

[Stinky The Clown]

6. There was audible cheering in the Sparkly/Stinky household.

The dawgs got startled. :)

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Yeee

HAW!

[Engineer4Obama]

8. Why the fuck would anyone unrec this?

[jgraz]

12. Always allow for the poorly-aimed mouse.

Or the lurking freeptard.

[rhett o rick]

14. I have never been so drunk that I can't tell the difference between rec and unrec.

We have lots of freepers in here.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

16. It's not as easy as it would seem when you are using a laptop track pad.

[rhett o rick]

29. I will bow to your experience. nt

[shadowknows69]

27. I actually slipped and did it today by accident.

I have a twitchy mouse hand. Might be from excessive computer use :P

[rhett o rick]

30. LOL. Ok I believe you. nt

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. I've done that myself a couple of times. Because of the way it shows up, I am always a little

afraid that I've hit the wrong thing and Unrecommended a thread that I meant to Recommend.

[elocs]

37. Probably to get someone to mention it and give them the attention they crave. n/t

[HughMoran]

40. lol

People here are too sensitive.

[Engineer4Obama]

42. Yeah you're probably right

Meh.

[Myrina]

9. so does that mean we're going to get a bill that doesn't SUCK Insurance company ass?

Didn't think so.

The Baucus Bill is just another 'bend over and say aahh' America from the Insurance companies to us.

[proud patriot]

10. good !

[SemiCharmedQuark]

11. I hope it's true. I can't remember the last time the Dems "brought the hammer down".

[Liberal_Dog]

13. K & R

[WeDidIt]

17. Reid is evolving moving from the phyla Acoelomorpha to the phyla Chordata

Acoelomorpha = "without gut"

Chordata = "with spine"

[Confusious]

21. Uhhh, it may just be scar tissue holding him up

From letting the Repugs dominatrix his ass so may times.

[juno jones]

31. +1

Great reference.

[Canuckistanian]

18. Reid: "C'mon, Lieberman. Make my day"

I'd LOVE to see Droopy Dawg stripped of his chairmanship over this.

[seafan]

19. Now, we're talking.

Strip these bastards of their prerogatives if they vote with Republicans to filibuster health care legislation.


August 18, 2009

Here's the way to deal with Conrad (Budget) and Baucus (Finance). Strip both of them of their Committee Chairmanships.

These two turncoats are laying waste to the Democratic Party's principles of fighting for the good of the people.

[mrbarber]

20. Big words.

But seeing as how spineless dem "leaders" can be, excuse me if I don't buy this hook, line and sinker.

[Confusious]

22. I'll wait and see too

Tiny balls are hidden, and I know Harry Reid has none. He'll wimp out at the last second, like so many times before.

[stuball111]

23. Fuckin AY!

Gettin a little hot in Washington methinks...:think: :think: :think:

[CakeGrrl]

24. Swing it. Hard. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Last to threaten that was LBJ if memory serves

Lord, I might have under estimated Reid.

Will see.

[elizfeelinggreat]

26. yea rachel

!

[corpseratemedia]

28. finally!

[lib_wit_it]

32. They should have done this in the first session of 2009, in both houses of congress. We knew who

the blue dogs were then. What the hell was Bauchus doing having the gang of six consist of an equal number of Rs and Ds? How does this come close to even suggesting that elections have consequences?

[pleah]

33. K&R About damn time. n/t

[Obamanaut]

34. Splendid nt

[JBoy]

35. Reid's kept his powder as dry as dust. Hope it still works.

[newtothegame]

36. Hell yeah! Down with any party dissension!!! n/t

[elocs]

38. They can dissent all they like, just not support a Republican filibuster.

It's called "party discipline". Republicans know about it and use it, Democrats may as well not fight with one arm tied behind their backs.

[veganlush]

41. alas, I want to believe it...

...but knowing these peole, it's probably a weak bluff that Reid will apologize for making, before long. Let me be wrong please.
