Shouldn't it be an ethics violation to author a resolution -and vote no.

[European Socialist]

House reps. get paid big money and it is like an act of vandalism to waste their time on a political ploy. I know the Pukes have done similar things like the flag burning amendment-but at least they voted yes on what they proposed.

1. "House ethics" is an oxymoron. nt

2. I haven't been able to read much news in the last 2 days - who are you

referring to?

8. House Rep. Duncan Hunter sponsored a resolution to leave Iraq ...

immediately even though he voted no on it. (apparently he wanted to embarrass dems who would vote for it and endanger troops)

9. Oh, okay. Thanks!

Yeah, he's an idiot. At least leaving Iraq is now the cat out of the bag, instead of inside.

3. It's certainly a misuse of their time and OUR tax dollars

How many possibly important matters (y'know like maybe ACTUALLY working on a withdrawal plan as Murtha is trying to do) were delayed to conduct this ridiculous political charade?

5. Note to Dems waste as much of the illegal occupation that's left.

Talking about getting out of Iraq is not a waste of time however.

4. Add in substituting the resolution even you don't support for the

original resolution and trying to make it seem like it was a vote on the original is the height of a lack of ethics.

Nothing new there, though.

10. they did that too! did you HEAR them in the middle of it?

12. I heard Hastert say it was open to debate which resolution they were

debating and voting on:

6. and it was done to MISLEAD and CONFUSE the American people!

that's what is so amazing....the blatant contempt shown for the people, so normal it isn't even commented on!

11. Now that I think about it -they did the same on re-instating the draft.

It was to embarrass Rangel of NY.
