| Pelosi Tries To Shut Republicans Down - House Fight |
| 2007-05-16 |
| 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. |

| #10 JPOST Op-Ed > BUSH MAY ATTACK IRAN NEAR THE END OF HIS LAST TERM article. Good points given, but I am not convinced. Moud = Iran must trust the US DEMS for after 2008 US Elex, or he doesn't. |

| #9 NEWSMAX > HOUSE NIXES [budget]BAR TO IRAN ATTACK; + WORLDTRIBUNE > ED KOCH > DEMOCRATS WILL GET THE BLAME FOR IRAQ SURRENDER, TIME NOW FOR HOMELAND DEFENSE. For any US surrender and failure in Iraq-ME, that is. Iff the specific targeting = kidnapping of US troops doesn't cause Dubya to "blink", and iff Moud = Radical Islam no longer trusts or believes that a DEM POTUS after 2008 will do anything for Iran, etc. i.e. stop US entrenchment or empower US withdrawal from the ME = World World, AMERICAN HIROSHIMA(S), espec WMD TERROR ATTACKS AGZ DUBYA + USG-NPE, MAY BE RESORTED TO. |

| #8 Pelosi is really out of control and seems downright crazy. I think that the hole that she has dug herself is so deep that she decided she might as well try to get all the way through to China. |

| #7 The true colors of the Democrats come through. When someone says or does something you don't like.... crush dissent. |
