Steny Hoyer was excellent on the House floor Friday

[Tennessee Gal]

Here is part of his speech (excuse the caps - that is how it is printed on his site:

OTHERS ASSERT THAT INCLUSION OF A TIMELINE FOR RESPONSIBLE DEPLOYMENT IS TANTAMOUNT TO CAPITULATION. MR. HOBSON SPOKE ON THIS FLOOR JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO. HE VOTED TO SET A TIMELINE IN BOSNIA. MR. LEWIS SITS AS THE RANKING MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE, HE VOTED ON JUNE 24, 1997, TO SET A TIMELINE. MR. HASTERT, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, SET A TIMELINE. MR. DELAY VOTED FOR A TIME LINE. MR. BLUNT, VOTED FOR A TIME LINE. MR. BOEHNER, VOTED FOR A TIME LINE. EVERY ONE OF THEM VOTED FOR A TIMELINE. WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES? WE HADN'T LOST A SINGLE TROOP. NOT ONE. WE HAD SPENT $7 BILLION, NOT $379 BILLION. WE HAD BROUGHT GENOCIDE TO A STOP, ETHNIC CLEANSING TO A STOP, AND WE ARE NOT LOSING PEOPLE, AND WE HAD A STABLE ENVIRONMENT. YET THEY VOTED FOR A TIMELINE.

That shows what hypocrits the Republicans are.

A strong voice for the blue team.

2. republicons prove again that they are hypocrites

Puh-lease -- lecture the rest of us on you moral and ethical superiority again.

Bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha.

Everyone in America -- and on Planet Earth -- knows the republicons
are a bunch of perverted lying corrupt chickenhawk cronies stealing from the
American taxpayers.

The republicon scumbaggers fool only the dull Sheep who suck up corporate propaganda from
chickenhawk multi-millionaire cowards like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and Hannity
-- who mince around in their $500 Gucci loafers, but have never served America even ONE day.
