1. It is so much fun...
... to listen to the Republican whine and cry and moan and accuse and rail and rant and whimper that they are being "cut out of the process".

Hey, you FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS. YOU CUT US OUT OF THE PROCESS FOR YEARS. YOU WILL BE LUCKY TO HAVE ANY INPUT GIVEN THAT THE RESULTS OF YOUR CONTROL ARE ALMOST 100% NEGATIVE FOR AMERICA.

Now, go down into some basement closet and have a meeting you simpering asswipes.

2. Remember when they kept the voting going for hours to bribe and...
threaten their party members into passing their bills?

12. Stopped the cameras in the chambers so the American public couldn't see Republican
warlords wheeling/dealing on the floor -- the vote on the Big Pharma Welfare Act (Plan D) was kept open for three hours while arms were twisted and bribes were offered. It barely squeaked by, and if the cameras had been allowed to run, I doubt it would have passed.

4. This is the biggest bunch of crybabies I've ever seen.
One after another they whine and moan and complain and to hear them tell it their Congress was the most bipartisan in the history of the country.

5. The Dems voluntarily set the goal
therefore they set the rules for what they mean. "We're gonna do such and such within the firest 100 hours. By the first 100 hours we mean ..." See?

8. At least we've finally found some politicians who know how to manage their time.
Wait a second, I think Bush just went on vacation again.

9. The Dems have accomplished more in the past 2 week than the
Repukes accomplished all of last year (or longer). The fact that they're whining about how the hours were counted just shows why they never got anything done. They concentrate on useless side issues and won't tackle the big things.
