21. Hmmmm
Interestingly enough...when Texas Democrats went to Oklahoma and New Mexico to break the quorum to try to defeat a rigged Redistricting...the Republicans fined them for every day they were absent...FROM A SPECIAL SESSION!! A special session whose sole purpose was to shaft Democrats!

And now they want to "DeLay" the start of the 2006 legistlative session, while long-term unemployed people could use emergency extended benefits, homeless people from New Orleans have nowhere to go, and their hotel/motel vouchers are running out...hundreds are dying every month in Iraq (and that's just OUR boys and girls)...ah, there's no IMPORTANT BUSINESS for Congress to do, anyway, is there??

We oughta dock their salaries for every day they were supposed to be there and weren't.

i'd like to see all the Democrats come back to Washington as scheduled, and then make hay about all the Repukes who weren't there!! That would really backfire in the faces of the Repukes, if the Dems were there and working, while the Repukes weren't!!
