No respect for the dead

Republicans disrupt Lantos memorial service
by John Aravosis (DC) · 2/14/2008

Even the dead are political pawns to the Republicans (then again, we already knew that post-September 11). House Republicans, at the bidding of the Bush White House, are upset that House Democrats are voting on contempt citations for Harriet Miers and Josh Bolton today. So the House GOP members are disrupting proceedings in the House today, calling for "protest votes" and the like that eat up 15 minutes of the day at a time. Well, they just called one such protest vote in the middle of recently-deceased Democratic Congressman Tom Lantos' memorial service, which they certainly knew was taking place. This is akin to forcing people to leave a wake on purpose. The House Republicans and the White House couldn't wait for Lantos' service to be finished before forcing everyone back to the House floor to vote for something silly. They intentionally disrupted a dead man's memorial service for political gain. But as was already noted, the Republicans have been abusing the memory of 3,000 dead for seven years now, so why expect anything new and better from them now.

This should be a word to the wise for Obama backers. The Repugs respect nothing. If poor Barack is whining about Hillary being mean to him he better go home.
Wait till the Repug hate machine gets hold of him.

Yeah, that's why many Dems don't want SSDY with Billary.

Why won't they release their tax forms? What do they got to hide?

It'd shape my voting decision. Your sig says "money in the bank changes everything" but you're not even curious why she won't release her tax info until after (if) she gets the nomination?

Oh I bet if Hillary released her tax forms you'd jump on the band wagon. Why doesn't Obama release his contracts with his slum lord buddy?

Did I attack Hillary? Nope, sure didn't. I asked a question. Same goes for Obama. If he's nothing to hide, why not release the info?

I think they may both view it as none of your business. Maybe McCain will release his so you'll have a choice.
