Democrats Were Not Elected To "Respect The Minority"
the simple fact is that if the american people had wanted the democratic party to march in line with the same old GOP nonsense of the past 12 years, they'd have kept the republicans.

the republicans did this to themselves, like children who are upset because they were caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

republicans did this with their malicious attacks on the american people

on minimum wage

on a woman's right to privacy

on our constitutional rights and liberties

with the war in iraq and afghanistan

with their sheer corruption and acting criminally towards children in the very halls of congress

the republican party did this by not acting like a political party working for the american people, but acting more like a criminal syndicate bent on squeezing every last dime out of the american people. by electing pedophiles, lunatics, crooks, and supporting war criminals like donald rumsfeld.

if america wanted us to respect that, they'd have re-elected a republican majority

but they didn't.

the republican party did everything it could to DISRESPECT america, so americans and the democratic party owe them no respect.

you reap what you sow.

1. If the Repukes wanted amendments passed on an ethics...
reform bill, they had 6 years to do it. They just want to kill the bill.

2. Anybody think Lee Terry (R-Neb) reminds you of Dr. Stantz?

Dan Akroyd's character on Ghostbusters? Just a quick thought. Kinda sounds like him too. Maybe Pelosi and Slaughter could "cross the streams" and poof the republicans into the slime machine :)

3. Got that right
It's like you catch someone's punch and then use his own fist to twist his arm and end the fight. The sucker-punching coward's whines should not be heard in that circumstance.

Suck on it, GOP. You had it, you lost it. Get over it.

5. exactly
remember when sennsenbrenner turned the lights and mics off on the democrats and took his gavel?


the simple fact is no one should feel bad about hitting back. you can't be bipartisan with a party who only wants to control everything.
