And so what they plan to do is keep everybody here and beat the living snot out of them through Saturday and then try to get the vote on Saturday. That’s their goal. So, the main thing is the more people that can just keep flooding here between now and Saturday to keep the pressure up. Because my guess is they’ll probably be bringing in a lot of MoveOn.org people on Saturday to really beat the living tar out of them. That’s my guess. So the more we get real people here, the better.
And the humongous crowd of 300 real teabaggers at the Washington tea party cheered wildly. It’s always nice to be told whom the real people are.

Ruh Roh, so I am not a real person then. Double edged sword that one, on the one hand, not being a real person I do not have to pay real taxes and on the other hand if I’m not a real person I must have been born in Kenya and Teabaggers are going to be at my door asking for my birth certificate any day now
Bachmann is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Now, I don’t propose that everyday working folks understand the rules of the House…but a Member is SUPPOSED to know the rules and their history…period. She got off a blast saying that Pelosi should be impeached and that the “mainstream media” is “treasonous” for not covering the compelling story of the first ever use of “deem and pass”. Of course Alan Grayson (that rare Dem with stones) pointed out that Speaker Hastert used it over 100 times! Gut-bustingly funny…until you realize how many take her on faith. I posted on it today and the first comment out of the shoot was a diatribe against the top-secret bill process that nobody is allowed to read until after the vote. Wow!
