Huh what?

I'm no Republican LOL. Think you may have me confused with someone. I was agreeing with you in that post. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Just because the behavior of the Tea Party folk did not cross the line to being criminal does not mean that their behavior was not immoral...and it was.

So far, all we have are unproven, uncorroborated allegations from lefty democrats.

Why are you so quick to take their word for it, especially when one of them is lying about an "arrest" by the capitol police that never happened.

Where's the proof, the audio, the video?

We all KNOW that is what you would be clamoring for if this were a republican. NO WAY would you believe it on just one man's word.

A staffer for Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told reporters that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-M.D.) had been spit on by a protestor. Rep. John Lewis (D-G.A.), a hero of the civil rights movement, was called a 'ni--er.' And Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was called a "fa***t," as protestors shouted at him with deliberately lisp-y screams. Frank, approached in the halls after the president's speech, shrugged off the incident.
But Clyburn was downright incredulous, saying he had not witnessed such treatment since he was leading civil rights protests in South Carolina in the 1960s.
Tough times require tough measures. Maybe this is the only way to get though to these ahole Democrats that this bill is not wanted by the majority and that they should vote the will of the people they represent.

So you stand by the notion that NO ARRESTS were made in DC. Because DC is such a crime free city. Does that include the 5 anti-war protesters or not.
I mean....you are telling us that DC cops have made zero arrests in DC. Statistically impossible.

STOP IT ALREADY. STOP LYING...I know it's one of the fundamental rules of the right...but please don't do it.

It's incredible that you would endorse those tactics. Or maybe it's not so incredible. I'm getting the impression that a lot of conservatives think that it's completely fine to behave that way.

The representatives are elected to make good decisions. They're not elected to simply vote however the majority in their district want them to vote. If our government was set up to totally reflect "the will of the people", then we would have a popular vote on everything, we wouldn't have elected representatives, and we wouldn't have a need for the Supreme Court.
