Default If You can't Win playing Fair ,,,Change the Rules.

Ms. Pelosi is set to change the House Rules set in place since 1822...And used by Both Parties. What a useless whiney Bitch.


After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.

The Democratic Leadership is threatening to change the current House Rules regarding the Republican right to the Motion to Recommit or the test of germaneness on the motion to recommit. This would be the first change to the germaneness rule since 1822.

In protest, the House Republicans are going to call procedural motions every half hour.

It is really hard to complain after the Republican's longtime whip was known as the hammer.
