[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. LOL Thanks :o)

[stop the bleeding]

26. Queensryche? n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

67. Hell Yeah! Some quotes from the album that inspired the name:

"I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, that was the truth. But now I see the payoffs everywhere I look, who do ya trust when everyone's a crook?"

"7 years of power, the corporation claw. The rich control the government, the media, the law. To make some kind of difference, then everyone must know. Eradicate the fascists Revolution will grow"

"the system we learn says we're equal under law. But the streets are reality, the weak and poor must fall. Let's tip the power balance, tear down their crown. Educate the masses we'll burn the white house down"

"Religion and sex are power plays. Manipulate the people for the money they pay. They're selling skin, they're selling god, the numbers look the same on the credit cards. Politicians say no to drugs, while we pay for wars in south america. Fighting fire, with empty words while the banks get fat and the poor stay poor and the rich get rich and the cops get paid, to look away as the 1% rules america"

:)

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. We never expect to see this on a Friday night, no news dump

tonight, this is unbelievable, this should have been done before the troops were engaged... damn it!

[merbex]

20. I just said to my husband : you know we're geeks when we're

staying in on Friday night to watch c-span

[thefloyd]

40. You are not a geek

compared to me. 27 single friday night watching CSPAN on my computer AND typing messages. Uber Geek here.

[LSK]

3. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS = KEEP THEM GETTING SHOT AT

[Winston702]

70. Yup

Take this opportunity to get them out
Vote on your principles note politics lest we devolve into repukes

[Bill McBlueState]

4. re: Gibbons (R-NV)

I hate this shit about how our troops are all so weak-minded that any criticism of the war makes them cry in their beer.

[Moochy]

9. Gibbons quotation

No kidding..check out these words from mr gibbons:

"tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals Hollywood should (...) go make their movies and their music and whine somewhere else, (...) it's just too damn bad we didn't buy them a ticket become human shields in Iraq". http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Jim_Gibbons_%28US_politician%29

[KingFlorez]

16. A gibbon is a type of monkey

Can't expect him to be too smart

[GOPNotForMe]

58. Shut up, Dana.

Go clutch your pearls elsewhere.

[Solly Mack]

5. There is no victory...there will never be a victory

Bring them home! NOW!

Only a fool would delude themselves into thinking Iraq will ever be a success.

[Greeby]

7. 3 Dem speakers left

Who knows, Ron Paul may make a guest appearance

[rodeodance]

12. where are all the Big Dems tonight?

[Idioteque]

29. Probably waiting to speak during the actual debate.

There are 1 or 2 hours left after the rule passes.

[Idioteque]

I hope Ron Paul shows up...

...he wasn't around for the first vote.

[suffragette]

8. thank you, DU for these threads

Got home short time ago and got caught up thanks to all of you.

[greekspeak]

10. Are the troops really so psychologically fragile?

The pukes give them no credit. They act as if they are helpless children who, anytime a word is said against war, will just put down their rifles and cry. I call bullshit.

[Bill McBlueState]

18. agreed! n/t

[IndyOp]

21. So did the Army guy who called AAR tonight. He is on leave from Iraq -

goes back in a few weeks. Says that the troops are too busy taking care of their jobs and staying alive to care what is being said at home 'against the war'. He was angry! :mad:

[nadinbrzezinski]

They are.... after all the troops need guidance

this is coming from people who have never fired a shot in anger or worst, being down ragne from it

[Bill McBlueState]

11. I wonder what the Dems have in their bag

They keep reserving, like they're saving up their time for something big.

[achtung_circus]

23. Murtha?? nt

[astonamous]

30. Can they just not vote? n/t

[Bill McBlueState]

41. i'm thinking that's the best approach to the vote

But while debate's open, they should keep up the heavy fire.

[uppityperson]

13. attacked over and over and over again

because what we are doing in Iraq in no helping anything, it is only escalating the "war on terror". ron lewis And we won the war in Iraq, now fighting the "wot"

[AuntPatsy]

14. ron lewis blaming Clinton for nine one one?????

[Hepburn]

Man, what a complete IDIOT this speaker was. n/t

[rodeodance]

24. Clintons name keeps popping up--over and over!!!!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Bush was warned about 9.11 and he chose to go on vacation

and OBL had NOTHING to do with IRAQ

[AuntPatsy]

27. I honestly cant believe that they keep repeating the same lies?

[nadinbrzezinski]

39. I can, they have not noticed the country has moved on

and has caught up to the lies

[rzemanfl]

22. God damn but these Repuke motherfuckers all say the same

shit. "We have won the war in Iraq???" Bullshit! We went in and got our troops surrounded.

[Stand and Fight]

25. Gawd... I cannot wait until these Republi-Fascist Bastards go down.

They can stick that in their pipes and smoke it.

[rodeodance]

32. Miller from CA up (Dem).

[rodeodance]

38. talking of how Murtha is being attached--by Bush, cheney, and House

members.

[rodeodance]

42. says Muttha was slaundered just for asking for a debate on the Bush

policy.

[rodeodance]

48. He is really on a roll about all the slaundering to Murtha.

[rodeodance]

52. geech--for a minute I thought they would have to pull him off the floor.

[nadinbrzezinski]

49. and he was

[democrank]

28. How in hell did

[Sydnie]

31. The Quick and the Dead???

Gilchrest -- you changed your vote on the energy bill ... you will suck in my book as long as there is breath in my body!

Sit down and shut the hell up!

[Greeby]

33. George Miller

[vickitulsa]

EXCELLENT, Mr. Miller!!

That's a good summary, no doubt about it.

[Moochy]

Go Miller!

[rodeodance]

66. you have a right to be proud of him. He was grand just now.

[pinkpops]

34. Hi - just arrived - let me guess, this is some kind of a stunt, right?

[LSK]

37. yep

Rep Hunter who proposed it will not even vote for it.

[RepublicanElephant]

35. you think those two missing dems will show-up and vote tonite?

boswell & towns.

[Solly Mack]

36. if the dead troops demand "no less" from Congress then I guess that means

well...Congress needs to go over to Iraq and die by that logic?

I mean, if he's serious about giving as much as the dead troops. whose names he rattled off

[in_cog_ni_to]

43. Go George!

Give 'em hell!

[fearnobush]

44. Jean Schidt's email.

[suffragette]

45. Miller is on fire

Say it loud - the truth!

[LSK]

46. we have overtime!!! go go go

[uppityperson]

47. talking about repubs attacking murtha, pres to congress

because he dared suggest we debate Iraq war that people want us to debate. Now Murtha is getting slandered and smeared. Murtha and I disagree but we never ever did this to one another. "where did we go wrong"
G.Miller, CA

[cspanlovr]

109. yes, yes, yes

it's a media organization

[Bill McBlueState]

53. Democratic unity

Listening to Miller (D-CA), I'm getting the feeling that whatever the Dems do, they'll do it all together. They're making it about defending Murtha's character!

[LSK]

60. they were united last night in the budget battle

Except for 2 no-shows

[RepublicanElephant]

54. leave it to dana to justify presidents who wage illegal wars.

[Bill McBlueState]

61. oh, Rohrabacher's a douchebag!

I've seen him enough on Real Time with Bill Maher to know it. :gag:

[KingFlorez]

69. I used to watch Tagalog news from Manila

And the anchors there thought Rohrabacher was a woman because his first name is Dana.

[Bill McBlueState]

72. nice

:spray:

[KingFlorez]

94. self delete

[uppityperson]

62. Dems have crocodile tears

rohrbacher "don't call the pres a liar" people just calling pres a liar rather than discussing the war. wahhhhhhh

[ncrainbowgrrl]

63. Hoyer up now.

[Greeby]

64. Steny Hoyer for 4 minutes

:bounce:

[nadinbrzezinski]

68. this damn debate shouid have happened but not it IS happening

how many people are watching though

[rodeodance]

71. "this resolution is beneath the dignity of this body"---YES!!

[Sydnie]

74. I'm lovin' me some Steny these days

a gentle giant

[rodeodance]

75. 'this resolution is unworthy of our responsibility_ to our troops" Hoyer

[rodeodance]

81. this is a 'petty, political manuever"--says Hoyer.--'rankest politics"

[rodeodance]

86. Hoyer gave a very solumn, thoughtful speach_-he talked of our

responsibility to the nation--to the troops. Good for him.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

77. Just us and the FReepers watching this, I suspect...

:hi:

[nadinbrzezinski]

87. I suspect you are right

[uppityperson]

73. not support this bill, neither does repubs

this is a stunt, a scam, a not real bill but a way to avoid talking about the war. This resolution beneith the dignity and responsibility of this institution

[rusty charly]

79. "shabby and petty

the NEW GOP"

[Kolesar]

78. The F*ck Jean Schmidt thread is gone .. eom

[in_cog_ni_to]

80. Hoyer's shaming them GOOD!

Go Steny!

[vickitulsa]

82. Rohrbacher actually looked like he was gonna CRY

when he protested Dems calling W a LIAR on the floor of the House! Was I hallucinating or did I see him actually CHOKING UP!?

They called him a liar because they felt compelled to finally SPEAK THE TRUTH, you moran!

And you're weeping big tears because it's finally being said ... and because the AMERICAN PEOPLE now BELIEVE IT.

[uppityperson]

83. shabby, petty political maneuver

majority leadership demonstrates its lack of respect for this institution

[Midnight Rambler]

88. I think the Republican Congress has officially jumped the shark

Got exposed for what they are, a bunch of hateful scumbags.

[rusty charly]

93. someone PLEASE tell the Pukes:

Iraq is not a metaphor for the American Revolution

[Stand and Fight]

84. The Minority Whip, Rep. Steny Hoyer kicks ass!

"This resolution is beneath the dignity and responsibility of this body."

"I am unable to express the maginitude of my contempt for which I view this shabby, petty political manuver."

[suffragette]

85. rankest of politics

Well said.

[LSK]

91. LIAR - SF SAID NO RECRUITERS IN SCHOOLS

[qanda]

96. I just came home...

Can someone please tell me what's going on?

[MrMonk]

Oh, nuthin' much. What's going on with you?

Republican Hunter introduced a bill calling for immediate withdrawal of all troops from Iraq, mocking Murtha's reasonable bill from last night. Had a heated debate before a vote to vote on bill tonight. What we have now is the debate before a vote on the Hunter bill.

Good stuff.

[LSK]

103. Republicans are forcing a vote TODAY on withdrawing troops

[uppityperson]

97. Misspoke, have more people who want to speak

[Greeby]

98. Louise is really building up to this last speaker?

Is it Nancy?

[rusty charly]

102. the blame can only be laid

at chimpy's feet

[rainy]

108. I said the same thing, but she has only 1 min.

[Endangered Specie]

99. can they not go more than 5 seconds without exploiting 9/11

[nadinbrzezinski]

106. no

[AuntPatsy]

Its pretty much all they have, it worked for a few years, I guess

they keep hoping it will continue it's use so that they retain their stronghold on the American justice system.

[AuntPatsy]

100. I want to hear the Democrats, each and every one of them speak up..

I have had enough with the republican lites getting more than enough air time, just sick of their message.

[Bill McBlueState]
