I’m sure when it comes to voting himself another pay raise he won’t obstruct the vote.

on the future and alternative power… “we need to build us some more of them refineries”

yo todd, what year is it… 1986 ???

BFD.

1)Is THIS the priority of the current Congress? They were late in passing the budget last year, and they should be working on the next budget NOW. What’s wrong with getting it done early?
================================================

Gee, max, it’s called politics, and has been going on, at least in this country, for over 200 years. But, right, they’ll change because you asked so nice.

“…The only reason it should get any print, is to question the priorities of this current Congress.”

Uhm, that’s been the point of the story from the beginning; how Tiahrt bogged down Congress with a stupid roll-call vote.

Please try to keep up.

2)Why does the press give a darn about this story? The only reason it should get any print, is to question the priorities of this current Congress.

That’s stretching things a bit, Monkey… And besides, I think that movie plot has already been tried…

“… on Mother’s day we on the right hold to tradition, not to selfish self-inflation like the Dims.”

I think we’ve shown remarkable self-restraint by not going for the obvious joke about “Regular’s” inflatable sex doll.

Then again, he might be referring to his “tradition” of taking his mom’s body out of the freezer ever Mother’s Day so they can have sex.

I’m not surprised in the least to learn that “Regular” has mama issues.

Poor toilet training, perhaps, since I’ve heard he smells like he hasn’t quite perfected the technique.

Cool.

Let’s see him live that one down.

Two posters above said it well:

So Tiahrt either voted against Mother’s Day (which the record shows) or he was just throwing a childish temper tantrum and mocking the institution of our government in order to merely waste taxpayer time and money for an unnecessary activity to make Congress less efficient.

I hated the way the “against motherhood” story was presented by the press… The REAL story is the way the Republican leadership will stoop to anything to obstruct confronting the issues, and constantly throws wrenches in the works to maintain the status quo…

Not that Tiahrt wouldn’t throw his mother and mine and yours under the bus to protect some powerful special interests….

Those two posters have this situation nailed!

Procedure calls happen all the time in Congress.

“Mr. Speaker, I move to reconsider the vote,” he announced.”

It happened. Deal with it. He’s your boy.

Ask yourself this question. Why pass a resolution for a day already declared Mother’s Day?

Isn’t that redundant?

Kinda puts a dampener on your spin, huh, reg?

I will be having dinner at my daughters later so it might end up being a totally CON free day.

They probably will. I don’t think they like anybody.

Anybody wanna lay odds on it?
