Republicans, unhappy with the Democratic majority, have been using such procedural tactics as this all week to bring the House to a standstill, but the assault on mothers may have gone too far. House Minority Leader John Boehner, asked yesterday to explain why he and 177 of his colleagues switched their votes, answered: "Oh, we just wanted to make sure that everyone was on record in support of Mother's Day."

Voting against Mother's Day is supporting it? I hear circus music playing for some reason. Seriously, the House Republicans are losing it.

Yeah, mothers totally deserved it.

Sponsor: Rep. Jeffrey Fortenberry [R-NE] H. Res. 1113: Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day

Motion to reconsider (after initial vote) Rep. Todd Tiahrt [R-Kan.] Republicans Vote Against Moms

Interestingly, both Rep. Fortenberry and Rep. Tiahrt voted in favour of the resolution in vote 274, then Rep. Tiahrt protested his own vote. He and Rep. Fortenberry (along with the majority of Republicans) voted against Fortenberry's own resolution in vote 275.

Outlaw, can you put down the doobie long enough to tell me what there is about this that makes you think "i swear the democrats are funny"? Or is this just more of your typical mindless drivel?

it is silly and a waste of time.... time better spent doing other stuff....also i heard it was created by dems... thats why the gop most voted no to it.... i vote no to it also because it is silly and a waste of time....

But it's for Dear ole Mother and apple pie!
I mean she slaved over the hot stove to make you a nice home cooked meal, washed your clothes, darned your socks, washed your dirty lil' behind, changed your poopy diapers and washed them. Dear ole Mother, Momma, Moms, Mommy, aw come on, it's Mother's Day, c'mon have a heart...

Then you heard wrong, again!

The resolution was created by republicans, with bipartisan cosponsors.

And quit trying to BS us, you don't "vote no to it also because it is silly and a waste of time". You vote no to it because

1. You believed someone who told you the Dems sponsored it
   
2. Someone like Rush Limpbaugh told you it was a bad thing
   
3. All of the above

I wish you'd start researching things and start to think for yourself instead of just being a kool-aid chugging zombie.

So, that would explain why the republicans playing games pushed a war spending bill back to next week, eh?

Looks like your sacred republicans are the ones wasting time "better used trying to win this war", doesn't it!

hey takes two to tango....at lease they dont add add-ons to defense bills knowing they will get canned.... also the dems are the leaders in pork spending... ie clinton and obama are the highest...

oh ubl is dead.... you should know how hard it is to get 100,000-200,000 troops 20,000 feet up to operate in the conditions where ubl was..... thats a very hostail enviorment not including people trying to kill our soldiers\Marines....


i like mccain he is a no pork kind of guy more then i can say about any dems candidate....
