Pelosi Decides to Silence House Republicans

From the Drudge Report...

After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.

The Democratic Leadership is threatening to change the current House Rules regarding the Republican right to the Motion to Recommit or the test of germaneness on the motion to recommit. This would be the first change to the germaneness rule since 1822.

In protest, the House Republicans are going to call procedural motions every half hour.

All I can say is how petty. What a shame.

Well, Nancy and Crew and CNN love to throw out the President's approval rating of 39%.....they themselves have a 22% approval rating.

I think that Nancy and crew have vastly overestimated the political power they have and their so called mandate. They didn't win because the American people like them, they won because the conservatives were left by their party and the voters stayed home in protest. Now that we see more of what they are like, maybe the voters will see the impact of what they have achieved and return power to the conservatives and a Republican President elect come 2008. Who knows.

i think she's doing a good thing. heck, the republicans are whimps, afraid of their own shadow. they don't speak out, or tell of the lies. let them cower and take the butt kicking. maybe a few republicans will grow some moxie...
