Deemocrats Mocked:

Deem and pass strategy #deemed worthy of a hash-tag

By Garance Franke-Ruta The proposed House "deem and pass" vote strategy is already facing one of the most insidious enemies of contemporary political discourse: online mockery.

Perhaps because of the resemblance of the phrase to #demonsheep, a hashtag given to a recent bewildering California U.S. Senate race ad, the deem and pass legislative procedure has been given one of its own by opponents on Twitter, where wits and wags have decided that they can play this game at home and #deem things done just by declaring them so.

Some examples:

@mkhammer: Good news. I #deem my work-out for the day already done even though I've sat on my tuchus all morning.

@stevelutes Instead of filing a 1040, just gonna send a note to IRS #deem my taxes paid in full. #tcot

@rightinillinois: I #deem that I can print my own money

@Rschrim I hearby #deem my clothes clean. Whew I'm glad that's over with. I hated the thought of doing all that laundry.

@WordMarvin I #deem there is always money in the account to cover my checks

@jslemrod i #deem my term papers finished

@cprater: RT @runedart: I've decided to #deem all my bills paid this month. #tweetcongress #twisters #justsayin

Bin La Din = “Not of those who have gone astray” (translation from Arabic of the last line, sura of the ‘clot’ [Sura #1])


Or, slang for ‘them’?

I like this one that’s being retweeted around:

Judge Poe on floor: “the dems are going from passing bills they haven’t read to passing bills they haven’t voted on.” what do you #deem?

Neil Cavuto said Rush gave out the numbers for congress to his listeners and now the phone lines are overloaded.
The numbers are also listed on Rush’s page.

Here is one of the ones he gave out on the radio that I’m calling. So far it’s been busy but I’m going to burn it up till I get to tell my congress critter to vote NO!
Join me?..... 1-877-762-8762

All options are open when you are a Deemocrat.
