Republicans tack on this amendment Democrats retaliate by going for majority vote Majority vote fails Weiner goes on a tirade I agree with you that both parties in general instigate fights with each other, and both act stupid. I dislike American politics in general because I'm so frustrated with it. But for this particular bill, the Republicans started it this time. |

Re: Congressman loses his nut on the House floor
The good news is...this bill has been around since Feb. 2009 and, even though it was defeated last week, it is still not dead.
Here are some links to several stories about the bill and last week's vote 9/11 Health Care Bill Here is the article about efforts to revive the bill for another vote Bid to Revive 9/11 Care Bill And, just for fun, here is an article describing one way the Democrats share some responsibility in the bill's defeat (in the author's opinion, of course) Which Party Hates 9/11 Heroes More? There are some interesting comments below the article as well.

I understood what he meant. His point was both coherent and correct.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/0..._n_521541.html I have heard that some people have that issue with communications, but I would rather like to think that their check-out program may have failed them. Or, they failed themselves once they opened the dialog. As far as you not fully following, the content was not aimed at you, and there is a portion from another thread that you might be unaware of, thereby preventing you from connecting the diatribe.

He used his hand to gesture the tip over. He then said he was ALSO worried about the environmental issues. So... his office comes out and says he was using a metaphor. Who uses a metaphor and then immediately after says "also" about the thing being represented by the metaphor? Plus he's stumbling over the whole length/breadth stuff. Apparently he's on some serious meds for Hep C which may be affecting his cognition. But if so, why'd his office not say so? The whole thing is very weird. |
