Speaker Pelosi is a freaking HARDASS! "Is that laughing I hear over there?" She is wrapping up....

[George II]

....the debate for the BBB rule and paused when the idiots on the republican side laughed.

She all but said "F* you republicans, we've got this!"

Brava Madam Speaker!!!!

1. Since then all I've heard is a twenty + minute monologue.

If there is a message directed towards the American people it sure as hell isn't coming through.

Another complete failure to effectively use the pulpit to influence and inform the public.

[George II]

2. It was an epic speech. Watch it again on C-Span please. Why so negative about Democrats????

[bluecollar2]

3. Thank God for Representative McGovern

Coming in as a closer.

As for negativity about democrats...

I've been watching the Party since 1976...and it has been declining since then.

Not because of philosophy but because of its inability to actually communicate...

5. Chairman McGovern is the best.

He has been functioning on no sleep while crafting a rule and working shuttle diplomacy with the progressives.

6. Gotta Disagree

I’ve been a part of the party since 1968. The party is more open and honest than it has ever been. Gone are the smoke filled back room deals. Gone are (most) of the old white men pulling all the party strings. Never forget Will Rogers famous quote about politics. He said “I’m not a member of an organized political party, I’m a Democrat.”

I’ll agree that at times our messaging can be problematic - but that is likely because the messaging doesn’t come from the top down, it comes from the grassroots up. That is something you will never see from the fascist politburo that is the Republican Party.

Personally, I’m proud to be a Democrat - even on the days I find myself pulling out my hair. Why?Because the only workable alternative in a nation built on a two party system is being a Republican and that is an unthinkable, suicidal alternative.

16. I've only been here since 74

And I get your point of view.

It's do frustrating though.

How many times did that rabble bring up the 450k myth yesterday.

[BlueIdaho]

17. Thanks for that

I completely understand your point of view and hope you keep pushing for what you think is right. One of the many things that makes me a Democrat is our ability exchange views and make for a bigger more inclusive party. What you say influences me.

4. Yay . . .

President Johnson had a rough time too with the Civil Rights matter. FDR with SSI and others. President Obama with ACA.

To name a few. I rather have Progressive, Moderates and Conservative all working together, although it can be difficult, then have a party that march to a single beat and shower the very rich.

Go Dems!

[bottomofthehill]

7. And President Johnson had about 68 Democratic Senators

And in the neighborhood of 260 Democrats and a strong Speaker McCormack in the House

8. This President has a 50 Republican 46 Democrat 2 that caucus with the Dems and 2 freewheels

Along with a 3 vote majority in the house.
