LET'S HERE IT FOR THE FIGHTING DEMS! SPALLS PEOPLE SPALLS!
Showing more collective SPALLS (SPINE & BALLS) than there Republican colleagues, the House Democrats refused to fall for a Republican ploy and then told them where to stick it! Yes folks I am talking about the Democrats in the House.
I know, I forgot we had any representation in the house too. Check for the links in the article to help support those Democrats who relocated there testosterone glands! Also special commendation to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D- CA 8th), who has been showing more bravado than most of her male colleagues. BIG SHOUT OUT to John Murtha (D- PA 12th), who has the SPALLS to call a Bush's failure a failure.
House Rejects Iraq Pullout After GOP Forces a Vote
Democrats Enraged By Personal Attack
By Charles Babington Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, November 19, 2005; A01
Differences over policy on the Iraq war ignited an explosion of angry words and personal insults on the House floor yesterday when the chamber's newest member suggested that a decorated war veteran was a coward for calling for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops....
Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) drafted a simpler resolution calling for an immediate withdrawal of troops, saying it was a fair interpretation of Murtha's intent. Members were heatedly debating a procedural rule concerning the Hunter resolution when Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) (link to vid from Think Progress) was recognized at 5:20 p.m. Schmidt won a special election in August, defeating Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett, and is so new to Congress that some colleagues do not know her name.
She told colleagues that "a few minutes ago I received a call from Colonel Danny Bubp," an Ohio legislator and Marine Corps Reserve officer. "He asked me to send Congress a message: Stay the course. He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message: that cowards cut and run, Marines never do."
Dozens of Democrats erupted at once, pointing angrily at Schmidt and shouting repeatedly, "Take her words down" -- the House term for retracting a statement. For a moment Schmidt tried to keep speaking, but the uproar continued and several GOP colleagues surrounded her as she sat down, looking slightly dazed. Presiding officer Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) gaveled in vain for order as Democrats continued shouting for Schmidt to take back her words. Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-Mass.) yelled "You guys are pathetic!" from the far end of the Democratic section to the GOP side.
Just as matters seemed to calm a bit, Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr. (D-Tenn.) suddenly charged across the aisle to the GOP seats, jabbing his finger furiously at a small group of GOP members and shouting, "Say Murtha's name!" Rep. David R. Obey (D-Wis.), who had led the chants for striking Schmidt's comments, gently guided Ford by the arm back to the minority party's side.
More on the wackiness that is Jean Schmidt, OH ! The temptation for a vulgar play on words, will follow.
