And this is my reply:


Yes while Congress was voting on a silly bill, something that the rightwing thought up with their "war on christmas" crap

The President of the US was spying on the American people, (which is against the law, if no warrants were issued) and is an IMPEACHABLE offense
Lewis Libby was still under investigation for a felony crime of "outing" a CIA agent
People in Iraq were getting their "freedom" while people in the US are losing theirs
People in Iraq are also getting most of our tax dollars
While New Orleans is still damaged
Congressman Duke Cunningham R-CA resigns after taking bribes from defense contractors etc...........typical Republican
Tom Delay R-TX is under indictment for money laundering..............typical Republican
Bill Frist Senator R-TN is under investigation for SEC violations, insider trading........typical Republican
Karl Rove is still under investigation.........see L Libby above
Halliburton is making massive profits in Iraq and screwing the government
Oil companies made record landslide profits

And Krishtuns whine about Christmas..............

Maybe these are the same Congressmen that voted for "Freedom fries" and "Freedom toast" in their cafeteria....

Make me hurl..................what a bunch of whining losers

Can they get back to the real business of Congress...and do something really constructive

and by the way..............Happy F-IN Holidays........................

:woohoo:

:loveya: Barbara Lee

Wisconsin is on the list!!! Good for her.

just last week. They don't want to hear or know the truth. They prefer to listen to the religious leaders, Rush, or Faux.
Even with the internet at their disposal, they have no interest in opening up their minds.
Nice response, but I gave up. :-(

:thumbsup:

Proud to see my rep voted against it (Cleaver) and he's a Methodist Pastor!!!!!!!! (and one of the best Mayor's Kansas City ever had)

Earl used to be my rep before I moved to the burbs. Now I have to console myself with the malleable Wu.

I have David WU as my rep, I dont know how he voted on this, but I have written him
several times for the Illegal invasion of Iraq and Amtrak votes..........he always writes back!!

Now I just don't trust him as much. That's probably healthy, though.

Every teaching of Chris is ignored by the Republican party yet they complain about Christmas?

Doug D.

:yourock:

they are so worried about when 80% of the population do not have a problem with Christmas, how can it be that huge of a threat/war?

The best one I heard / I like, was "the people I really have a problem with are the one's who do not believe in Santa Claus" :+

this kind of crap need a quick and solid slapdown every time.

my rep voted against it too. too bad more weren't courageous.

" BILL TITLE: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that those who celebrate Christmas believe that the symbols and traditions of Christmas should be protected"


Limply fanning the fire. Perusing some of the other pressing business on that day also speaks to the importance of the matters that this august body deals with while this nation crumbles.

go Washington 7th!

God bless Wexler, he's been a pretty good guy. If only we could get Tom Feeney out of office - that guy is so scary, you don't even want to know. Talk about a fundie nut...
