1. How come Dems don't protest at peoples' houses??

I once suggested protesting at Alito's house, lawfully, of course, no violence or blocking traffic, and was threathened here. But the other side does it with impunity.

Which is why they are winning this argument - they kick out teeth down our throats every single time.

2. If we had tried it with Bush in office - we would have been disappeared

At the least jailed as terrorists and enemy combatants.

5. And no doubt waterboarded.

6. It has been done by dems.

Pelosi's house comes to mind. There were protesters from the left out in front of her house some time ago.

I think they were trying to get her to put chimp impeachment "on the table", but I'm not sure about that part.

9. But we weren't showing up armed and making death threats.

AND we were protesting our OWN. We were the ones who elected her. It was non-partisan.

[Webster Green]

12. True.

That is quite different than what we're seeing now.

11. Code Pink did outside of Nancy's house but

that was only after she canceled her townhalls and refused to meet with anyone who wanted to talk about impeachment.

Iow, that wasn't the first choice in any way. And, it didn't involve any threat of violence although it was probably uncomfortable for her and for her family.

And, that wasn't Democrats, that was constituents for impeachment from many different groups.

14. Ask the idjits who were camped outside of Pelosi's house in SF for months. n/t

[Sheepshank]

15. Please explain

what arguement they are winning by picketing had private homes?

By my estimation is costing them, in credibility. Few like to side with overt bullies.

[Ian David]

3. Isn't the parliamentarian non-partisan? Just doing his job? n/t

[DCBob]

7. He was originally appointed by Clinton and I believe a Democrat..

So they, the Teabaggers, assume he is partisan.. after all if he was Republican they know he would be.

[Greyskye]

4. They sure know how to win friends and influence people

:sarcasm:

8. What makes me so angry is why

in the hell do they think a minority of people in this country have the right to tell the majority who LEGALLY elected the president and the democratic members of congress to office. How in the hell do they think what they want comes first. They had from 1994 to 2007 to do something for this country and the screwed it all over the place. Trying to outdo each other taking money and making laws to benefit the rich and corporations. Now they want to continue to destruction. I think if the secret service and FBI don't get a handle on this immediately, they next thing they will start busting into anybody's home or small buiness and try to take over. They have been enable by the republican members of congress and they think they can get away with anything.

10. They should find out who makes the pen that the Parlimentarian uses

and go protest at that guy's house, without the pen the whole thing would have stopped there.

[Sheepshank]

16. Perhaps they could picket the water and sewer company

certainly they could get things 'backed up' in more that one way. Maybe picket the fruit and veggie companies, lack of fiber will back one up too.

[Vinca]

13. These people are truly nuts.
