HOUSE REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO VACATE!! Lights Shut Off! ...Updated With List ...Update- Video!!

“The C-SPAN cameras were gone and the microphones were off, but that didn’t stop a small group of Republicans from taking over the House floor after the House adjourned for five weeks to attack Democrats for leaving town without doing something to lower gas prices... "Madame Speaker, Where art thou?" Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, shouted from the well of the House.”

The House shut off the lights earlier.

Someone should bring them a box of candles... Isn't that part of the Democratic plan?
Check Pelosi's office.

Here's the phone video that just played on FOX New.
It's not the best video but it's better than what the rest of the MSM is showing...
which is nothing.

Here is the real link. I had to bypass it to get it out of the "bloggers" area of FR so it could be seen as the news that it is.

Free Republic Quote:Someone Bring Them Candles!!
Free Republic is reporting:

Am I the only one who wants to you through the screen to tell the Fox report to STFU and let us listen to the video?

[Syncro]

Yea well it's all about them ya’ know

At least we have a little video.

Queen Nancy decided the American Citizens had no right to see what is going on in the House when she wants to shut it down.

Or let the media back in. She also kicked all the media out. They are only there for her I guess. Too bad no one could turn C-SPAN back on.

[reg45]

The New York Times will accuse the Republicans of wanting to waste energy by turning the lights on.

[AmericanMade1776]

But did they get the Candles they needed?

[Ron Jeremy]

Woops.. I meant YELL through the screen.

[oldbill]

Amazing.

The only time Republicans seem to show some courage and initiative is when they are in the minority.

Who knows what they might have accomplished if they had this much drive and committment when they were in the majority.

sigh...

They actually accomplished quite a bit.. just look at the new(ish) medicare entitlement, all of the pork, and the vast expansion of just about every part of the federal government. The democrats never accomplished that much.

GOP House Revolt Over Oil Drilling Gets Ignored or Buried

Predictable! ...Talk Radio will have to report the news Big Media will not.

“Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas”

You tell her Ted! I love Judge POE, the man has ‘chestnuts’. I’m proud he’s from Texas!!!

"Hey look, Ma, actual sarcasm by a Freeper!"
lol

Nancy Pelosi, meanwhile, is busy hawking her miserably performing book–currently 1,726 on Amazon.com.

She has a book? What is it about? How do drive America to the new Great Depression while blaming President Bush all the way down?

[John123]

Talk Radio will have to report the news Big Media will not.

Not if President Obambi and the Democratic congress is in power...

[Parley Baer]

I guess this is Nancy's statement on energy independence regarding foreign oil. Just shut off your lights. What a dingbat. Bwahahahaha.

[autumnraine]

One of the posters on that site asked why the RNC hasn’t planned a protest for oil prices and get a large crowd the MSM can’t ignore. I think that is a good question.

[Tailback]

Yeah right. Then at 5pm they closed up shop and went on vacation just like the Democrats.

Anybody remember the cartoons of Wiley Coyote and the Sheepdog? They would spend all day trying to outsmart each other, and then at 5pm, they would dutifully punch out on the time clock and go home while wishing each other a “good evening”.

I’m not exactly impressed by the bluster that the spineless party mustered for less than 10 hours right before Summer vacation. Where was this spirit weeks or months ago? Ho-hum, I guess I’ll just go about my business as usual. Oh, by the way, the RNC called me today wanting a donation. I told them that I would only donate to candidates that oppose illegal immigration, support the border closure, and believe in smaller government.

[4Liberty]

drudge headline "ACTIVISTS JAILED BEFORE GAMES" sounds like Congress ("DEBATE SILENCED BEFORE ELECTION'). Chinese dissidents

[Gene Eric]

>> Predictable!

The Republicans’ effectiveness cannot be a factor of news coverage. The people that needed to know about Friday’s moment of inspiration were part of the experience.
