Reposted on: 17.11.11 1346.40 | The rule change makes sense. Any overzealous, partisan prosecutor can try to indict somebody of the other party for some ridiculous charge.

Reposted on: 17.11.11 1347.02 | | Errr... the way the story was being reported this morning made it sound like a House rule rather than a party rule. My outrage has subsided, but as was just stated the timing does nothing to help their public image. | redsoxnation

That is why if you are going to do it, you do it now, right after an election, rather than in August of '06, when it will become the focal point of any Congressional race where a challenger has more than a pulse. The memory of the electorate is very short term. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
