Finally some leadership! Way to go Pence, Boener, and Blunt! This is energizing the base. They need to pound Dems for the next 5 weeks. It is energizing the base. It is exposing what frauds the Dems and Pelosi are.

[NormsRevenge]

You mean the Speaker of the Planet didn’t lock them out entirely? (order more popcorn)

[FormerACLUmember]

Can these OUTSTANDING Republicans get C-Span coverage if they meet elsewhere in Washington?

[Domandred]

If the Traitorats want to leave Congress with business still on the table I say the reps that are still there should bar the door and not let them back in when they come back from recess.

[imintrouble]

If some Dems show up will they be allowed to join in?

[firewalk]

Bttt

Nice to see forward progess instead of the old side to side shuffle...lets hope they maintain their momentum, symbolic acts can be very powerful. Especially if we knew what the dems were doing in their 5 weeks off.

Be nice to have a pic of one of them either gassing up their car (yeah right, like they personally fill up their gov limos), or lounging in some exotic location. Either would place a nice emphasis on the point, I think.

I'll be calling my US Rep Nick Lampson(D) on Monday for sure.

Rep. Ted Poe did a fine on Friday!

[DoughtyOne]

Where have these folks been for nearly eight years?

[Crimson Elephant]

Are they at least filming it and putting it up on youtube and other sites?

[katnip]

The session will not be televised, since C-Span does not control the cameras inside the House chamber. Rather, those come under the purview of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats, and they're unlikely to do anything to help Republicans.

And all along I thought those buildings and what were in them belonged to the American people. This is outrageous!

[KantianBurke]

Political grandstanding. They know damn well the only surefire way to reduce oil prices - stop spending money we don’t have which weakens the dollar which in turn raises the price of oil. Where was the outrage when they controlled the House but didn’t control the explosion of big government thus leading to this predicament?

[KantianBurke]

First thought that popped into my head as well.

[Turret Gunner A20]

We also need the rino names who are not going along with this GOODF move — remember they are up for re-election this time round. If they don’t want to get with the program, FIRE ‘EM and elect some who will.

“Speaker of the Planet”

LOL...good one!

[Diverdogz]

Wow! A whole DOZEN of them will continue their protest.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

Now is not the time for to be pessimistic.

Now is the time to call your reps and get them to DC

[shankbear]

Lampson used to be a Blue Dog but now he is a Bleu Dogmatic. He has followed Nan Pelosi and that gang just to show that he isn’t ANYTHING like the mean, evil Tom Delay.

[NormsRevenge]

ThX! It’s a promotion from Speaker for the Nation.. she is one shrill bird..

“Where have these folks been for nearly eight years?”

Campaigning. That’s all they take time to do anymore. There are no election ‘cycles’, it’s continuous. We don’t have elections, we just have campaigns.
