C-Span: HCR Debate-- You guys have to watch this...** Discussion Thread**

[vaberella]

It's so bloody dramatic. The republicans just spent 5 or so minutes arguing for 10 seconds. This guy who's controlling the house is crazy. He's like super serious and like a machine. Man. Oh the drama and the amount of lies. Man.

[marlakay]

13. I was laughing at them fighting over fighting

our system is soooo insane. The dead silence when that republican asked the chair a question about needing to vote again because the other side said the bill would be changed...and then a minute later like he finally thought of a good answer he says, the chair gives no opinion on whats being spoken or something like that....

[vaberella]

14. Who accused who of a threat?! WTF

& then I loved JJJ's statement of the staff behind the REpubs were said to sit down.

[vaberella]

15. WOAH!!! SLAUGHTER wants to FIGHT!! Woah...that's crazy shit. n/t

Childish behavior! How do some of these people get elected??? Is this the BEST their districts have to offer the country or their constituents?

19. I think for the first time we might actually see a fight break out on the house floor. n/t

[vaberella]

[Onlooker]

23. It's really riveting

The Republicans are doing whatever they can to derail the process, playing parliamentary game after parliamentary game, but the Democrats seem up to it. The guy in charge (what's he called?) in masterful at handling this tense environment.

[vaberella]

26. Utterly. If no one ever saw how childish the Republican party is...

all they ever need to do is see this process. It's out of control.

[vaberella]

28. The Repubs are killing me with this line. n/t
