Republicans need their mamas
It sure does seem like Republicans have lost their rhetorical touch. It's irrelevant to argue whether or not Pelosi was the reason why their voting bloc disappeared - the fact that they cited this as THE reason is really pathetic. "The lady was MEAN! She hurt our feelings! We don't care if it costs the country $1 Trillion dollars [the amount Bush said we lost on Wall St. yesterday]...she needs to be NICE to us! Don't say WE screwed it up...we need to be re-elected!"
This is a rationale for voting for Homecoming court (and maybe Prom Queen if the b*tch stole your boyfriend, too), NOT a bill.
I wonder if they actually READ it? They couldn't find ONE clause in the bill that would kill it and use that as a reason? They had to use meanness as an excuse?
You'd think grown ups could swallow their pride in the name of getting the job done...it would have made for a (comparatively) stronger press conference if they'd voted for it and THEN said, "we're better people than mean old Pelosi."
Side note: Anyone else notice that it's nearly impossible to send the House an email right now? I think the server's flooded...
