They break protocol each time they stand up and down and clap for Obama. They broke it each time they booed Bush. So what democrats can break it but a republican cant? This is about breaking protocol right? Not about calling Obama a liar. Lets not act like democrats havent called Bush a liar. Democrats wouldnt be that petty now would they? This has to be about breaking protocol. Oh wait so have democrats.
I am not approving of any republicans breaking protocol but it appears you are still approving of democrats doing it but getting upset when a republican does it
I knew you couldnt do it thanks for proving me right
Clapping and booing at pauses in the speech are not breaking protocol. Yelling out "liar" is breaking protocol. Try again.
So, when a congressman sees a grave injustice bieng perpetrated in his country, he should just sit back and tow the line huh? Good thing our founding fathers set a "poor example" when dealing with the King of England huh?
A: When a congressman sees "what he percieves" to be a grave injustice He should have the presence of mind to know that his voice will be heard in its right turn.
B: our forefathers were fighting foriegn tyranny not turmoil within they're own country.
The king of england forced them to leave because of religous indifference and then followed them over here to tax them.
There were so many atrocities committed at that time against, americans, english and native indians that its not worth going there.

Giggles the PRez is shredding the constitution every day he is in office, and I am glad that someone in congress is standing up to his brand of tyranny and opression.

And in terms of House protocol, you could assert that the President is shredding the Constitution, but you would not be able to refer to him as "Giggles". Personal remarks are not allowed. Policy criticism is allowed.
Policy criticism is allowed.--- If the policy is wrong, can you say that the person stating it is what???? telling a dishonest policy, telling a lie, telling a big fib, oh I know he is in a state of public policy fariy land.

Policy criticism is allowed. Personal attacks are not. If the policy is wrong, you can say as much. You are prohibited, though from attacking the person advocating the policy. The intention isn't to shut down debate, which personal attacks are meant to do. The intention is to promote constructive debate over policy implementation. The legislative rules of decorum are about promoting debate.
"Liar, liar, pants on fire," doesn't contribute to debate. "Mr. President, I question your assertion that this legislation will not extend coverage to illegal immigrants because it seems this legislation has not adequately addressed identification verification," does contribute to the debate, because it focuses on the issues at hand, not personal vilification.
