Look what Republicans in Congress are trying to do

This is complete BULLSHIT (click the link to the left if image is unreadable in your navigator):

The date at the top was NOT from June 24, 2006 either, it should read June 24, 2004.

How convenient though that Eric Cantor, Patrick McHenry, and Tom Price are only NOW concerning themselves with the rights of the minority party in Congress, A FULL TWO YEARS AFTER THE SAME PROPOSAL WAS MADE BY NANCY PELOSI IN THE U.S. HOUSE, AND OF COURSE IGNORED BY REPUBLICANS.

I'm assuming that they forgot their own party using ruthless tactics over the past 12 years to muzzle Democrats in Congress and therefore the people THEY then represented. No no, they wouldn't want to mention that. Eric Cantor is a hypocritical BLOWHARD who I'm ashamed to admit is the representative for my district. He's well KNOWN in Congress for using the same tactics he seeks to stop with this piece of legislation (and for knowing nothing about foreign policy, but he likes to pretend he does).

From TPM Muckraker comes these quotes from congressional expert, and American Enterprise Institute scholar Norman Ornstein regarding the "strongarm" tactics used by Republicans during their 12 years in the majority:

"[R]eveling in the power they have, [Republicans] are using techniques to jam bills through even when they don't have to . . . simply because they can."

Republicans "have taken every one of the techniques that Democrats employed when they were in the majority, and ratcheted them up to another level."

The article on TPM Muckraker went on to say of the strong arm tactics used by Republicans:

An ironic case in point: When Pelosi made her proposal to protect Democrats in 2004, GOP House Speaker Dennis Hastert (IL) refused to entertain the idea, let alone reply to her correspondence.

I'll be sure to send off a letter to Eric Cantor letting him know what I think, and I would encourage the rest of you to write your representative doing the same. Although, again, NOTHING the Republicans can do at this point will surprise me.
