See the Speech That Got a Standing Ovation in Congress Today (Mike Kelly delivers again)
The Blaze ^ | 7/26/2012 | Mytheos Holt

Representative Mike Kelly, speaking on the House floor today, managed something very rare in the history of the institution – he got a standing ovation. Applause is usually forbidden in the house, but Kelly‘s blistering attack on regulatory red tape and Washington’s culture of control was apparently so powerful that several of his fellow house members couldn’t resist showing their support, clapping, standing up and shouting “USA! USA! USA!”

Would you applaud this way? See Kelly’s speech below and decide for yourself:

He’s absolutely correct, but there’s always some jerk who thinks sticking his finger in someone’s business is going to somehow make him more electable. I say: Throw the bums out!

Words are merely sound waves.

Wake me up when they de-fund anything non-military.

Wake ME up when they have the stones to completely defund Mengelecare.
...Which they can do anytime they want.

That speech by Mike Kelly was awesome. Even though he only had 5 minutes he really drove the point’s home. Regulations are killing business, regulations restricting who a business can hire (affirmative action), regulations closing down coal fired electric generation plants, regulations causing increase in electric rates because the power company is not using enough “green energy” produced energy, and regulations concerning ethanol (which uses more fuel to produce 1 gallon of ethanol, wow what a savings oh, negative savings)

I just turned 49 and it has been a LONG time since I have seen any politician stand up to the the monstrosity that the federal government has mutated into. We need to figure out how to clone that man and replace the the cowering wimps that always seem to get elected.
