Representative Tom Marino’s (R-PA) accusation that the Democratically-controlled House of the late Bush administration did not address lapses in border security had then-Speaker and now House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) charging toward him on the House floor Friday night.

“We don’t have law and order,” Marino said during debate on the border bill. “My colleagues on the other side don’t want to do anything about it. …Under the leadership of the former Speaker…they knew this problem existed. They didn’t have the strength to go after it back then. But now are trying to make a political issue out of it now.”

This had Pelosi running up to Marino to rebut the accusation off-mic and without being recognized.

“Yes it is true,” Marino said after Pelosi challenged him. “I did the research on it. You might want to try it. You might want to try it, Madam Leader. Do the research on it. Do the research. I did it. That’s one thing that you don’t do.”

“I have no idea how to accomplish that.”

We’re in the same boat Pal! I’m a musician, and most of my friends are LIV libs. I do what I can. One of my favorites is when they claim the US is a democracy!

"Do the research on it. Do the research. I did it. That’s one thing that you don’t do.”

Nah, she just forgot her jacket when she left the hospital this morning. And based on the stunt she pulled this afternoon on the House floor, it doesn't seem the Thorazine injections are working either.

Were any of the comments made by Rep. Nita Lowey(D-NY)? Nita Lowey handed over to Rep. Adam Smith. During that time Pelosi and Nita made different comments.

No. She told him he was an ‘insignificant person’. If she’s going to call a sitting congressman that, imagine what she thinks of the rest of us great unwashed.

yes, for different reasons. ultimately neither side cares what it does to the country, which means what it does to regular citizens.

They had 4 years under Bush and Obama.

Pryor, Hagan, Nelson, Baucus and Tester did the right thing and killed the Dream Act in 2010. 39 House Democrats voted against it, including the Mississippi Senate Candidate Travis Childers.

http://politics.nytimes.com/congress/votes/111/house/2/625

http://politics.nytimes.com/congress/votes/111/senate/2/278

Only Senators Bennett, Lugar and Murkowski(who wrote in) voted for it. All 3 lost when when they went to a GOP primary.

Some of the Democrat no votes:

Ben Chandler D KY-6
Travis W. Childers D MS-1
Joe Donnelly D IN-2(beat Mourdock)

Paul E. Kanjorski D PA-11(Barletta finally beat him)
Marcy Kaptur D OH-9
Daniel Lipinski D IL-3 (opposed Obamacare, trade deals and guest workers)
Jim Matheson D UT-2(beat Mia Love)
Mike McIntyre D NC-7(beat 2010 GOP and Rouzer in 2012 district)

John Barrow D GA-12(Keeps surviving)

Nick J. Rahall II D WV-3

Heath Shuler D NC-11(Raham Emmanuel told him to work with Tancredo because it was good politics)

The camera angle was a tad to high to tell for sure from your video, but in the last half second, I thought I caught a glimpse of her riding broom handle in her left hand.

Also watch the blond Lady in the center halfway to see if The Wicked witch of San Francisco was going to trip.

‘I Hit the Right Nerve’...always fun when that happens, and it happens so rarely with liberals, what with their underdeveloped consciences.....
