I'll be watching the rerun on C-Span tonight at 8pm ET to see for myself but from what I've read < not much on the mainstream media yet > the fireworks were rather interesting.

Here's the only story I've found so far....

Wow sounds like a surplus of sour grapes in DC. If the little whiners don't want play... I say they forfeit.
Not surprised that the moronic California Democrats were leading this one BTW.

I dunno Funked, calling the Capitol Police because they thought there was going to be a disturbance on the floor < their stated reason > and the fact that the police went directly to the library sounds like the Reps are trying to quel descent.

Then not giving Mr. Stark time to vote by bringing the gavel down so quickly smacks of, for lack of a better term, fascism.

This little episode is telling of the accelerated degeneration of the political process, both sides are at fault but calling the cops to intimidate the opposition is a new low that the Reps seem to be embracing.

your absolutly right , how dare them neo-nazi fascist republicans pass a law that lets working people put more money away for retirement, if this keeps up the govt will lose all control over the people.

Don't have a Rethuglican goonsquad on call? Call the police! Or ever better, the Dept. of Homeland Security.

The nature of the bill passed is irrevelant, it's the procedure used that is/was questionable.....anklehumper < tm Oopsy >

Addmittedly the whole thing stinks but lets be honest the Domocrat legislators again ran out pouting like spoiled children and once again, like recently in Texas, the Republicans were forced to send the police out to get them.

It's time for campaign finance reform and term limits.

These bastards have long since forgotten who they work for.

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #8 on:** July 18, 2003, 10:42:23 PM »

I stay as far away from them and their careers as possible...

Sandman · « **Reply #9 on:** July 18, 2003, 10:46:41 PM »

Exactly... you stay away from the polls... therefore, your opinion of politics and politicians means dick.

But serious why should I waste my time by voting for jokers like these on either side... Please dont tell me I should vote for the next one who says " Vote for me - I'm not a Washington insider!."

Because the revolution begins with one person. No matter how small you might think your contribution, it is important.

All taunts aside... I wish you and everyone else in this country would vote. If we don't, what's the point of democracy?
