Democrat bullies.............

I thought the Dems pledged non-partisanship

Murtha (PA-D) shouted at and chastised Rogers (Mich-R) on the House floor Thursday for offering a motion last week to challenge $23 million Murtha requested in an intelligence bill.

Murtha had requested the money to prevent the administration from shuttering the National Drug Intelligence Center in Johnstown, Pa., which is part of Murtha’s district.

“I hope you don’t have any earmarks in the defense appropriations bills because they are gone, and you will not get any earmarks now and forever,” Murtha told Rogers.

“This is not the way we do things here — and is that supposed to make me afraid of you?” Rogers replied.

“That’s the way I do it,” Murtha said.

Using one members vote as a means of denying a vote on another issue is against House rules. I don't know what the threat to do such means.

The issue is the child like mentality. Has nothing to do with the bill being discussed. She is using a kindergarden mentality. Pretty sad.

Ok, but it seems that the childish part starts where I have highlighted

You get this from both sides anyway. A lot of political discourse is not far from a verbal bar fight.

I don't think much of Murth's or Pelosie's politics and this kind of crap is bs.
