Subject: Republicans Strip U.S. Territorial Delegates of Floor Privileges
Written By: danootaandme on 01/07/11 at 1:01 pm
Representatives of U.S. territories as well as representatives from D.C. are not welcome on the floor of the House anymore.
The House voted on party lines to approve a package of new rules that, among other things, strips non-voting delegates from the District, as well as from American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, of limited floor vote privileges.
The move was expected, but D.C. activists, including local Republicans, pleaded with Boehner not to make the change. The District’s case is unique in that, unlike the territories, D.C. residents pay federal income taxes.

I can't believe this nonsense! This pack of whackos lead by Boehner scare the living crap out of me. They are REALLY dangerous. They have the principles of Attila the Hun and the attention span of Beavis and Butt-Head (such as pledging to read the Constitution but skipping pages 'coz they were, like, stuck together and stuff).
I see the pundits cracking jokes about their incompetence, but it ain't funny anymore. It's just fascism. Bush showed them how the more reckless they are, the more the American people cower in front of them.
Well, now we're reaping the whirlwind. We're f**ked.
Hey colored people from the colonies, we don't like yer kind around here!

Taxation without representation.
Apparently, this is illegal except in D.C.

Don't forget D.C. itself.

Go figure. Most of them are Democratic leaning.
