The House Dems are about to fight the wiretapping bill

[Greeby]

Pelosi is leading opposition to the bill, and they have a motion to recommit coming.

They just voted party line for consideration of the bill. In other words, the Repukes voted to debate it

2. You Should Change Your Headline

It should read:

"The House Dems Are About To Lose Vote On The Wiretapping Bill"

Better than saying "fight." Dems don't do that.....much.

[AndyA]

4. AMEN! They should just pack up and go home already.

They are not doing their jobs.

[jellybeancurse]

7. What is the point?

They never stand up for anything. Say one thing and do another. Cowards. Pathetic.

I'm through with these people.

[Greeby]

12. If you're talking about the Senate sure, have at it

But the House? They put up with having to hold hearings in the basement, for Jeebus sake

[jellybeancurse]

14. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I know in the House a lot of the votes are extremely close. I've seen some passionate speeches in the House, but the Senate? That place is just one big corporate whore house.

[Greeby]

9. In the House? Bollocks they don't

In spite of their uselss Blue Dog friends,the House Dems have tried every method available to them

5. Fight????? They can't even spell that word.

[AX10]

6. A few true patriots such as John Conyers and Charlie Rangel...

will fight this battle alone.

[Donnachaidh]

8. and just when will they roll over again? Any bets?

Got any more amendments they want to make lame deals about?

I'm so ashamed of these people.

10. The House Dems are about to whine quietly and impotently

about the wiretapping bill, then apologize for inconveniencing the other House members, then slink out of the room quickly before anybody can yell at them.

11. Hey Greeb, looks like you posted troll bait!

13. If by "fight",

you mean "roll over," yes they are.

[Greeby]

15. Oh, I bloody give up

Didn't think I was gonna get my head bitten off

[ClassWarrior]

16. Don't let the trolls get to you. They're just desperate.

21. It's OK,

it's not personal, really. People are just upset about the torture bill that the House just passed (w/34 Dems.) I hope they do fight on this legislation.

[Greeby]

17. Well, if anyone's interested, the bill is being brought up for debate
