Wow!

Just wow!!!!

I hate to get my hopes up only to have them dashed. But it seems we could be seeing an historic turn of events here.

It’s a changing of the guard. You could almost imagine those Republicans marching in one direction, stopping, turning about and marching off in the other direction (toward re-election).

But, we don’t know for certain how a debate will come out. Maybe the Rs just did this to get the debate. Who knows.

who’s running this show?!!!

We are, indirectly!

Senate: Feinstein v. Dodd
House: Hoyer v. Kucinich

Today it looks like we lost one and won one. That’s an improvement of our usual performance.

CSPAN: “Now one hour into a 15-minute vote.”

CSPAN: “Musharraf is now wearing brown shoes, rather than black ones.”

CSPAN: “Sorry for the informative report. We now return you to silence.”

But wouldn’t that mean that Kucinich voted to submit the resolution to the HJC???

What just happened? Have the Republicans been gamed?

Depends, I guess, what you think of John Conyers. Personally I hope this referral will be some sort of catalyst that will let his numerous investigations get unstuck. And that all the Dems knew exactly what they were doing today.

Hmmm.

I hope that all of you call Conyers’ committee members and keep calling them, to push this issue to the front.

We The People have to show Pelosi, Conyers, Hoyer, etc. that they must do what we put them in office to do !

The vote to refer is strictly along party lines, Dems for, Reps against. Dems should win. Report that Conyers sez Pelosi won’t let it “out of the box” because they’ve got so much other pending business to do (like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic).

Since I see selise – thanks for putting the hearing schedules together. I really do appreciate that. It’s incredibly helpful and informative, and I use it. Thank you.

i’m so glad to know you use it and like it! it was scarecrow’s idea that got me started (so thanks goes to scarecrow too).

but my manual list is only a stop gap measure – the real thing (automated and direct from the committees) is in the works from the openhouse project – woo hoo!

DK had 22 co-sponsors. Why did the last vote have fewer than 22 ‘nays’?

Absences?
