What a bunch of A-holes.

[middie]

Much ado about nothing. It looks like the House has too much time on their grubby hands and nothing to be concerned about like, war, taxes, unemployment, terrorist threats, labor unrest, jobs lost to Asia, etc.

[The Unknown Nobody]

Intelligent Irrelevant design...

[FormerACLUmember]

Anti-Christian ignorant bigots and/or Marxists, the lot of them. What a sorry, evil collection of degenerates.

[conservative in nyc]

I can't believe Jerold Nadler voted yea.

[StuLongIsland]

I am one Jewish guy who supports the resolution, unlike some of my leftest coreligionist (aka left-wing Jews) but does not celebrate the holiday personally. Everyone should be happy, nor should anyone impose, nor is any one is imposing anything on me.

I guess they the same people who are for government paying for abortions. (I don't want to discuss abortion, but the whole idea of gov't support).

Some of these people are embarrassing to a lot of us.

[Simmy2.5]

My representative Mike Honda is on the list. How come I'm not surprised...

[ncountylee]

Five democrats voted present:

Holt

Israel

Lowey

Owens

Schwartz (PA)

[technomage]

referring to Republican passage of a bill to slow the rate of growth in federal entitlement programs.

What complete morons. The Republicans want to slow the rate of growth. This means the programs are still getting MORE MONEY!!

Personally I would like to see at least a freeze, if not actual real cuts. But, the DeathoCrats just cannot be happy with anything, even during this wonderful time of year. The entitlement programs are getting more money, and they accuse the Republicans of this crap?

Combine this with the absolutely disgusting Democratic response to the President's weekly radio address today. These people are sick people. I am so glad I was not born to parents like them. Thank you Lord.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

[commish]

wexler, hastings, lewis, lee -- the usual suspects.

Names not capitalized on purpose.

[Betty Jane]

We need to keep these names available. Election day 2006 is only six weeks before Christmas. What a great campaign slogan for us. Congressman Ackerman is against Christmas.

[oxcart]

That witch Debbie Wasserman Schultz of the 20th district (D - FL) voted Nay. Has anyone ever seen her on CSPIN? She talks like someone broke her mouth yesterday.

[xrp]

As much as I appreciate Congress' holiday blustering to try to increase their numbers in the polls, I'd like it more if they had found the time to address the Alternative Minimum Tax this year.

I'm also glad the Senate took the time to conduct hearings into Major League Baseball steroids.

[Past Your Eyes]

Now there is a bunch of heavyweights if ever there was one. And the courage of those voting "present" is just amazing, isn't it? /s

[B4Ranch]

How many of these are Progressives? All I presume.

[Mobties]

I see Rep Owens voted present -- I assume that's Major Owens from Brooklyn -- is still swimming the route.http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:ePoeg7ANdNAJ:www.iaff.org/across/news/LegCon02/031802owen.jpg

[BlackElk]

How moonbat are the 22 when they could not even get the support of Cynthia McKinney, Dennis (the antiYoda) Kucinich, Rosa DeLauro, Louise Slaughter, Nancy Pelosi (Demonrat-San Francisco)??????????????? In all of New York City, they could only get Ackerman?????? Not a single Taxachusetts Congresscritter????? Not even the singlest (Bawney Fwank)????????

[fat city]

Maybe they all represent athiest, spoil-sport districts.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

"No one," she said, "should feel like they have done something wrong by wishing someone a Merry Christmas."

..God bless us everyone..

Twenty-two Democrats played Scrooge and disagreed.

[EGPWS]

Representative JoAnn Davis (R-VA), the resolution's sponsor, said the resolution was necessary to counter "political correctness run amok."

Kudos to Ms. Davis!

Twenty-two Democrats played Scrooge and disagreed.

Gosh, what a shocking revelation to behold....
