1. "Whine, whine, whine" - republicon losers
Edited on Wed Jan-03-07 12:10 PM by SpiralHawk
My heart is bleeding for them. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha.

Go cry on the shoulder of your heros: George AWOL Bush and Dick "Five Deferments' Cheney, and Rush 'My military EXCUSE was Anal Cysts' Limbaugh.

They are highly attuned to the wild whine of the Republicon Chickenhawk Crony

3. Apparently, the operative word of the day is 'disappointed' when
referring to Dems.

17. Not The Ari Special Of "Not Helpful" ?
I always barfed a bit in my mouth when he said that. It is just an idiotic and ridiculous thing to say. In his passive/aggressive way he was saying that the Dem's were telling the Pukes to fuck off and he was JUST NOT GONNA STAND FOR IT. Fuck em all. To fucking hell or wherever they go to party.

2. Screw 'em
Doesn't this fall into the "Goes around, comes around" category?

5. They are using Pelosi's actual words in the bill of rights she
submitted in 04. If they had abided by that, things might be different. I hope Dems don't give an inch, or only when it's convenient and in our best interests.

39. Once again, they can't even come up with their own ideas
and have to plagiarize.

4. Oh Boo Hoo WHAAAAAA!!!
But, I have to hand it to them on their timing. It's the last day that they have control of the cameras. The whole demonstration is positively shocking at how stupid and gullible they take American voters to be.

32. Looks Like Their Braying In The Wilderness Turned Congress Into Donkeys! HAH!
You left out the operative word bear....MALE. Except Kay Bailey Hutchinson but she is just their sorry version of a lap dancing, pole swinging, cheerleader. In other words....ENTERTAINMENT. God I hope Nancy goes MedEVIL on their asses! :evilgrin: And Hutchinson goes back to selling tupperware or whatever it is that dried up old slags do.

9. Anyone else find it striking that none of these faces are familiar?
This is the first confirmation that we not only won Congress, but we also fired the leadership.

More whining from Louie Gohmert.. Who? :rofl:

11. Funny they were not hollering that 4 years ago
or 2 years ago... What has changed for them?

November Elections let them know they have as much rights now as they have given us in the past. Can't ask for more than that right?

13. What a tangled web they've woven
And now they find themselves caught in a trap of their own making.

I can't recall the number of times I've heard it said, "someday the show will be on the other foot and they're not going to like it."

14. Sorry, that bill expired after they ignored it when Pelosi submitted it.

They had their chance.

They're in the minority because the voters wanted that way. They get no special rights; no special passes.

They can just bloody well STFU and live with it.

15. Wait just a second, do they want to work with the Democrats
or do they want to maintain their 3 day work week?

You can't have it both ways, lazy-ass Repukes.

so far, or at least I haven't seen any press conferences.

22. Zing! Anyone here co-sponsor that prior legislation
Ahm, no. But now that we are in the minority, we think it's a good idea.
How funny!

The reporter asked if anyone on the podium co-sponsored this when it was a Dem proposal. No. And the spin for the Repubs to get away from this is hysterical.

I assume that's an insult. How "bipartisan" of them.

30. of two minds
1. If bi-partisanhip and cooperation are the cornerstone of the new Democratic Congress, then yes, the minority bill of rights should be recognized and made part of permanent rules for the house

2. I'm just giggling and smirking ear to ear that the shoe is on the other foot and the repubs are finding it uncomfortable

I just came in when their backsides going out were on. Currently recuperating from sticker shock from my grocery bill. I haven't been shoping for food since about December 19th.

(not in those words) but they were practically laughing at them for the hypocrisy. It was LOVELY.

"You're trying to make this about Republicans, boo hoo." Doesn't seem to be someone who's accustomed to answering for his actions. Now he's running for the door.

Now it's music to my ears: "Tomorrow Democrats will be in control of the House" Weeeeehaaaa!!!
