Was 2/3 still required on this vote? . DON'T VAX, PROPHYLAX! ____________ There is no anger in Me: If one offers Me thorns and thistles, I will march to battle against him, And set all of them on fire. But if he holds fast to My refuge, He makes Me his friend; He makes Me his friend. (Isaiah 27:4-5) |

Was 2/3 still required on this vote? Quoting: oniongrassI'm not sure if it passed or not. I think the vote was to decide whether or not they would discuss it later, or something like that. It does need a two thirds majority vote, and they did not get that. But again, it appears that Rep Lee was forced to resign. In effect, they made an example of him to force the Tea Party to "tow the line". It is suspicious that all but two of the Tea Party crew became turncoats and voted for the bill, two days after voting against, and ONE day after Lee resigned. |

We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds... [we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another ]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery... And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression. - Thomas Jefferson AND NOW WE ARE BEING BOMBARDED WITH MESSAGES THAT OSAMA BIN LADIN IS PLANNING TO ATTACK THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND I'M TELLING YOU, BE PREPARED FOR A MAJOR ATTACK. BUT IT WON'T BE OSAMA BIN LADEN, IT WILL BE THOSE BEHIND THE NWO. IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THEY WILL STAGE A TERRORIST ATTACK AND IT IS GOING TO BE BID ENOUGH THAT MARTIAL LAW COULD BE DECLARED. - BILL COOPER 06/28/2001 (3 MONTHS BEFORE 9/11) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1151845 United States 02/11/2011 12:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The message of the Tea Party is simple and ideal. The problem is the politicians. They can, and do, promise you the world. Promise you everything you want to hear to get into office. Once in office they do as they like. And the people can't do shyt about it till election time. And by then, the damage is already done. System is broke, need new system. That, or abide by our right to revolt, and abolish the form of government we have now and recreate it making it better. Which if you ask me I'd keep the laws the way they are now, throw out any and all unconstitutional laws, and throw in a rule that states any elected official who does anything unconstitutional will immediately be held accountable and taken out of office. No waiting for an election. Attempt to pass legislation that limits the 1st, 2nd or any of our amendments, and be deemed having committed a crime against the Constitution and the American people and swiftly be removed out of office. We can have a separate police division unit to handle just this sort of thing. Throw in a system like that where the elected officials are afraid of their actions being illegal in how they legislate, and I assure you this Country will turn around for the better faster then the fat man who sat down to fast. |
