Thread: H.R. 3162 Update!!!!!!!

Throwing votes is one of their more perfected qualities for the most part.
They have learned that if they rob a bank and get caught they are stinking thief's.

If they rob a bank and get away with it, they are just another rich American.

It has become their credo.

If the major news media will cover this story it can go from a campfire to a forest fire very quickly. Building a fire is so easy even a caveman can do it, “Mmmm…. Fire Goodâ€

House erupts in chaos
http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/ ... chaos.html

In a massive flare-up of partisan tensions (video link courtesy Breitbart.tv), Republicans walked out on a House vote late Thursday night to protest what they believed to be Democratic maneuvers to reverse an unfavorable outcome for them.

The flap represents a complete breakdown in parliamentary procedure and an unprecedented low for the sometimes bitterly divided chamber.

The rancor erupted shortly before 11 p.m. as Rep. Michael R. McNulty (D-N.Y.) gaveled close the vote on a standard procedural measure with the outcome still in doubt.

Details remain fuzzy, but numerous Republicans argued afterward that they had secured a 215-213 win on their motion to bar undocumented immigrants from receiving any federal funds apportioned in the agricultural spending bill for employment or rental assistance. Democrats, however, argued the measure was deadlocked at 214-214 and failed, members and aides on both sides of the aisle said afterward.



One GOP aide saw McNulty gavel the vote to a close after receiving a signal from his leaders – but before reading the official tally. And votes continued to shift even after he closed the roll call - a strange development in itself.

Whatever the final tally, acrimony quickly exploded between lawmakers on either side of the aisle as Democratic leaders tried to plot a solution, while parliamentarians on either side argued over protocol.

Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) eventually offered a motion to reconsider, according to floor staff on either side, ostensibly giving members a chance to recast their votes. But the maneuver sparked a chorus of angry protests from the Republicans, yelling “shameâ€

Lead Story
What the hell happened in the House last night?
By Michelle Malkin • August 3, 2007 10:15 AM Remember?

“This leadership team will create the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in historyâ€

UPDATE: I just spoke to Patrick McHenry's staffer and he said this is a huge deal and much more should come out on this today and this weekend. The House Republicans are infuriated and they will come out swinging. Right now, this bill is in limbo. It has not passed. The Democrats even wiped off the results of the vote and the CSPAN camera were turned off as soon as the Democratic charimen said the bill passed. This event will likely become a hugh controversy. STAY TUNED!!!

Yes, but if this bill is allowed to be voted on again, it will get passed. We don't want that to happen. The only acceptable vote should be the one when the gavel went down. They're in meetings now and it will be interesting to see what happens. But I'm wondering if there is something we can do in the meantime.

DON"T FORGET TO GET WORD OFF TO LOU DOBBS ABOUT THIS

Further discussion with Patrick McHenry's office has indicated that the matter has been referred to the House Ethic's Committee for investigation of vote manipulation and witholding votes.

TUNE into CSPAN now!!!!

This will be on the news, you can bet, because even the MSM likes a food fight in Congress. When more Americans find out about this, they will be mad. If the media reports it correctly, that is.
