Can't call it as "sexual misconduct on the President's part."

You mean like this?

YouTube - Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) Outrageous Remarks on House Floor

I think everyone here is quite familiar with the overly strong rhetoric used by both sides, but no, that wasn't what I was referring to. It's simple etiquette. Phones/Blackberries/pagers should be off, nobody should be chatting with their neighbors when someone has the floor for a speech. Notice how I said nothing about party - I think it's disrespectful to be playing Tetris on your iPhone during a speech regardless of which party you're in.

wow this isn't a complete waste of time or anything

mommy he was mean QQ make him apologize

It's funny how reprimands and proper apologies aren't a waste of time when the people you don't like are the ones with egg on their faces.

Get Obama's dick out of your mouth once in a while.

A bit hard when it's firmly up your ass making you cry 24/7, nice attempt at dodging the obvious point I made thus shutting your post down and once again embarrassing you rendering you unable to do anything but insult.

it's more funny that you assume I'm a GOP lover just because I think drawing out a reprimand someone apologized for is a waste of time

HURR DURR HE DIDNT APOLGIZE 2 US THO!!!!

our country's unemployment is what, 8%? our nation debt is how much? we have a war going on for what? and we want to waste time doing this bullshit? fuck playing politics, both sides. every single person in congress should be removed for doing nothing but throw birthday parties and argue for the last year. no accountability, no progress, and instead plays party politics while our country is suffering

tl;dr waaaaaaah

Has nothing to do with whether you like the president or not. There is a procedure for objections. There is a time and place for everything and that wasn't it. And to add to it, Jow Wilson was wrong. The bill infact does prohibit coverage of illegal immigrants. I feel it was disrespectful and tacky. Congress is being more of a circus act than it already is. Let's get some independents in office. I don't trust anyone to the left of Harry Truman or to the right of Dwight Eisenhower.

Erm, that would actually make him more of a hypocrite on the issue than a bigot or racist. Of course, he could be all three. You never know with Rs.

Well I wasn't specifically referring to that link when i called him a racist bigot. That comes from him being a top aid to strum Thurman. He even went as far as attacking His illegitimate daughter.

quit lying to yourself bro you ain't fooling anyone. Funny you claim to be a libertarian yet you're butt hurt whenever someone says something bad about the GOP.

I'm sorry - are they instituting new rules or enforcing old ones?

If they are instituting rules saying that a member of the house cannot call the president "a liar" on the floor, that is fucking bullshit. If that's a current rule it should be removed.

I like Obama just fine, but reps should be able to speak their mind. The instance in which this D-bag shouted out was inappropriate and more importantly incorrect, but it shouldn't be a reason to restrict the free speech -in general- for reps.

It looks like these rules are super old news. I don't agree with these rules (If Russ Feingold stood up in the Senate and said "this yellowcake story is a complete fabrication, the president is lying" he shouldn't be told to come to order for saying the president is a liar, for example) but if they exist...I mean whatever. Eunhye - is there something actually occurring, or are you just pointing out that these rules exist?

I'm confused on what the actual story is here.

edit: the only reason i might look like a GOP sympathizer is because this board is so damn far left. Anything the far-leftists don't agree with? GOP lover. Terrorism. Racism. Dumbest thing ever. Child Molester. etc

"I was told to apologize by the head of the GOP so I'm apologizing."

Yeah, Rush has some major pull over those clowns.

HOHOHO funny you should mention that. The most prominent Libertarian aside from maybe Wayne Root compared Obama to a child molester.

The bill infact does prohibit coverage of illegal immigrants.

...but says that Emergency Rooms can not turns folks away based on citizenship. So yes, the government option, as currently written, will also cover medical expenses for illegal immigrants.

lrn2loophole.

Bad timing on Wilson's part, which he did apologize for. But awesome point whoever made it about unemployment being at 9.7%, the deficit increase, and fighting two wars and Congress is going to waste their time, and our money on this censure bullshit.

[Jodwahh]

I've staved off asking this for ages but as an Englishman I have to know, what does the acronym GOP mean? I used to know some people in a LS called Gates of Paradise that I substituted in everytime someone wrote it, but I guess I should actually know what the fuck it really means. So, what does GOP actually mean BG.

yeah

[Rhinox]

Seriously?

And I'm actually jealous of you guys. I wish we did have a parlimentary system here Cspan would be alot more entertaining.

[Jodwahh]

Well to be honest thats a bit of a let down. I was hoping for something exciting, not something 2 70 year old grandmothers would say to each other about the Queens coronation 50 years ago :/

lol i perfectly realize im not a libertarian. libertarian policies simply do not work because the free market is not the perfect machine conservatives seem to think it is. My beliefs are somewhere between libertarian and liberal.

The best part is I've done more for liberal causes than you have. You sit here and say shit like you are the authority on dem stances; that you are doing so much for the causes by simply telling everyone how cool your beliefs are. When was the last time you did anything? I've written 10+ letters to different congressmen in the last 6 months pleading my case to pass the healthcare bill. I've raised over $10k alone for no on 8. I've raised over $5k for global climate change policies. I've volunteered hours upon hours upon hours of my time raising awareness in the streets and mobilizing our communities to enact and expect change. Cut the crap and admit you are the helpless stupid troll you know you are. Stop pretending you know everything - especially about other people. Think outside your fucking little ass lib box and discover not everything you say is logical, is without faults. man up and drop the act
