3. As if the Democratic congress was elected on the pledge to be fair and nice to the repiglickings.
The hypocrisy never stops,

6. Can we have a year in review, please?
Or six maybe?

Let's start with Hearings that can't be called "Hearings" officially, because the Majority said "NO!". Oh, and how about cutting off microphones when the Majority didn't want the Minority to continue.

While we're at it, can we take a look at who participants were when bills were re-written "in Conference" during the wee hours of the morning and the final draft handed out (if at all) without sufficient time for review before voting?

10. Funny, they only whine about minority rights when they're in the minority.
Where were they after 9/11 when Muslims who were legal aliens and American citizens were rounded up, held in detention without charges, then deported without a hearing? Where they when Katrina slammed into NO?

12. First reporter asked the question.
Response: "in HINDSIGHT" Pelosi's original request was good for the people. But we have heard the voters - so THAT is the new catch phrase to justify this amazing hypocrisy. Another "I was not in congress in 2004"

They should be grateful to be able to use the toilets for Congress critters,
and not have to go outside to use public Port-A-Potties--after what they've done. Whatever Nancy does to shut them up and put them in their place is fine by me.

14. They've got a lot of nerve
to actually begin bitching after all the s___y treatment they've done to the Democrats. What balls these assholes have.

16. A reporter accused them of whining!!!
Another asking tough questions - mentioned pot and kettle, and asked why the leadership wasn't present. As soon as the questions started getting tough, one interupts to say "we have to get to a meeting."

15. The reporters are nailing them
"I'm a junior member and I'm not beholden to what the Republican's did back then" - Rep. Patrick McHenry.

Ha. Calling the press conference to an end when the reporters call them on their shit.

They are truely pathetic weasels. Love it.

18. I guess the appropriate question for Rep. Patrick McHenry is,
"Then why did you run as a Republican, knowing they had no intention of representing your values?"

19. "You've Got A Lot Of Nerve..."
All I can think of is this section of Bob Dylan's Positively 4th St.

You've got a lot of nerve
To say you are my friend.
When I was down you just stood there grinning.

You've got a lot of nerve
To say you've got a helping hand to lend.
You just want to be on the side that's winning.


:rofl:

23. "Exchanging all precious gifts
you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe"

Its going to be difficult for them to be righteously indignant now because it can be pointed out that anything the Dems do pales in comparison to their crimes against the republic. But indignation is all they'll have. At least they will be less dangerous for a few years, until, by obfuscation, their base is made to forget their misdeeds
