#1 Actually, this site seems a little more user-friendly than the Town Hall site I have (previously) posted here.

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issuesaction/letters/

That's in case you care to write Ms. Pelosi. You can also go to the above website and read some messages sent by other folks, and YOU can elect to have YOUR message considered for POSTING!

#2 I would like to take a moment to personally thank Representative J.D. Hayworth(R) of Arizona, who I believe was the one who thought up the idea.

Bravo!

#4 Now demand a concuring resolution from the senate. Politics is easy if you're willing to bite.

#5 Listened to the whole debate.
Nancy was totally diss'ed before she even got up to speak. One congressman accused her of representing a district so out of touch with the UNION that it refuses entry to Military Recruiters. A sedation. A district so out of touch that the Military Should NOT bother to defend it.

#7 I would like to see a follow up resolution stating simple that "the US congress will exept nothing short of victory in this WOT and will not consider surrender or defeat to the terrorist"

The Repubs have the votes if they stick together to pass this and the Dems would be forced to somehow expain they will either accept less than victory or some type of surrender. Leave Iraq out becuase it is nothing more than one phase and battle field in many of this WOT. This simple statement (meaninless in action but a simple moral statement of will to the ME and our troops) should be easy to agree to if the Dems really just disagree with the way to win, however for the LLL radicals like Pelosi and ilk they wont be able to swallow this idea becuase all thier redoric aside they really dont want us to fight or win instead just follow the France model and slowly give away thier own homefront as their population shrinks and a hostile invading Muslim pop grows but they hold the high moral ground right...??

#8 Again, Duncan Hunter - my congressman. I'm so proud! Heh heh. Nanvy and her anti-US winning minions would do any thing they could to do the same except they can't f*&king win a majority, can they? Can you imagine the nation's agenda if that bug-eyed incompetent became the speaker?

#11 I am disturbed! When I try to use the congressional wb site to send a short message to Queen Nancy, I get an automatic reply:

Thank you for contacting my office.

Congressional courtesy prevents me from replying to emails if I cannot determine that you are a constituent of mine.

The messge had an out-of-constituency address, just like the dozens of other e-mails I have sent. You know where I'm from!

If you are a resident of the 8th District of California, please resend your original message and include your full name, address, and zip
code. Otherside, you couldn't care less what I think.

If you are not a resident of Califoria's 8th Congressional District and are contacting me in regard to my role as Democratic Leader, please
visit

http://www.housedemocrats.gov.

But a visit there is worth a few laughs!

#12 And did the queen vote? or did she just mark "present?"

#13 Anti-war House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blasting last night's 403 to 3 House vote in support of U.S. troops and their mission in Iraq, calling it "a disgrace."

Disgraceful is being unwilling to back up your talk by voting with the opposition.

Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority.

Like I said....

#14 You fucked up Ms. Minority Leader. You fucked up big. Walked your membership right down the trail and into an ambush. Oh, it won't cost you your looney tunes district, but I'll bet your membership is having some deep thoughts on your leadership.

#15 If she has one more face lift her nipples will be on her chin.

Why do these old, tired leftists keep hanging on? The days of the 1968ers are over.

Go off by yourself and die in peace and leave us alone Nancy.

#18 I thought this was Scrapple Face! I can't believe it is real!! Are we sure this isn't some kind of joke?? Look - I know Pelosi is a joke - but this seems like... Scrapple Face.

Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war, the San Francisco Democrat said the pro-troop resolution was "a disservice to our country."

And this is a clever bit of spin:
Her California colleague, House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, wrote the resolution, which proposed "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."

Gotta give them credit for this one, heh, heh. They'll use it and it will backfire on them like everything else they do.

If this is real... which, sadly, it probably is.. these people are just plain stupid. Even with complete and total control of the MSM - they are going to be easy pickings in the next election.

jeesh.

#19 Hunter's reso said precisely that, to put Murtha's intent before the House. Hunter had no intention to vote for it though

#20 That's true Frank - but it looks like the Dims hope to sow seeds of confusion among those who aren't really paying attention.

#21 I've been reading Powerline and other blogs and I don't agree that this is anything other than a crushing defeat for the Dems.

It's true that Democrats have come out of this far better than they deserve and it's true that the GOP made an error by not using Murtha' exact words. And I wish the GOP could have mustered a bit more backbone and have made this a resolution to "stay the course".

All that said, and all of the press lies and omissions - this is still a crushing defeat for the democrats. And they know it.

They are getting stranger and more out of touch by the moment. I predict that many of them just lost their jobs in their next election. The American people may not pay much attention - but they aren't as stupid as the Democratic Party believes them to be.
