They did not sic the Capitol police on a group of the minority members attempting to confer in an empty room, as the Republican Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas did in 2003. They did not exclude non-pliant Republicans from negotiations on conference reports, as Republicans now do to them as a matter of course. Their leadership did not make it an explicit rule never to put bills to a vote that lack support from “a majority of the majority” -- that is, a majority of the members of the party in control -- as Speaker Dennis Hastert has done.
How about we take this and run with it? Hit that comments button and post things you can think of that Panhandle-area Democrats have not done. This is just for fun. Rumors and half-truths welcome! (Just make sure your postings are at least half true . . . )

ReplyDelete* Although Democratic Rep. Bill Sarpalius once reportedly got in a fistfight at the Caravan, no local Democrat has, to my knowledge, nursed a methamphetamine-and-gun addiction while simultaneously waging a personal War on Drugs.
* No local Democratic candidate's wife has attempted to convince local merchants that her husband actually did not HAVE any opposition and that it was therefore unnecessary to put the opposition's signs in a nonpartisan Election Day display-- as Nancy Seliger is rumored to have done.
* No local Democrat earned an ambassadorship by raising a bazillion dollars for the President's campaign.
As far as I know, democrats have never broken into the rethugs computers to spy on the other party and pass the info to someone like Robert Novacula.
