Here is a brief article explaining how a discharge petition works, how the nutjob who writes for the site you linked to thinks this is unconstitutional is beyond me.

A discharge petition is a means of bringing a bill out of committee and to the floor for consideration without a report from the committee and usually without cooperation of the leadership by "discharging" the committee from further consideration of a bill or resolution. Discharge petitions are most often associated with the U.S. House of Representatives, though many state legislatures have similar procedures. They are used when the chair of a committee refuses to place a bill or resolution on the Committee's agenda; by never reporting a bill, the matter will never leave the committee, and the full House will not be able to consider it. The discharge petition, and the threat of one, gives more power to individual members of the House and usurps a small amount of power from the leadership and committee chairs. The modern discharge petition requires the signature of an absolute majority of House members (218 members). Only twice has it been used successfully on major legislation in recent history.[1]

Borrowing money at Historicaly low interest rates and using it to improve infrastructure help struggling community's and schools while in the process putting several million people back to work undoubtedly kept us from falling into a second great depression. If the program was twice as big our economy would be better today and the cost would be more than made up by the increased revenue to the feds produced by that better economy.

Thease were not gaffs or jokes this is exactly how people think and feel about the issues. Do you notice no one here has chimed in to say that any of the stuff this group of commentators said was misunderstood or taken out of context? The views expressed represent pretty exactly the country the majority of teabaggers want us to. become. This is why the republican party is split, they need to appear loyal to the nut jobs who buy into that sort of crap while hiding from the people in the center that if they v**e republican they are supporting this crazy hatred stuff. The real Rino's are the quasi n**i nut jobs the teabaggers elected to take over the party, at first they were welcomed for their numbers now the real republicans see them for the cancer on the party they really are.

Why on earth would it be worth it to be toting a heater if you arn't allowed to threaten and blast people who annoy you?

The folks the teabaggers really need to look out for is the Mexican Muslums
they are heavily armed,into narco trafficking, have built tunnels under the border big enough to drive an Escalades full of dope and jihadists through (a sk**l learned in training camps in the Gaza strip when they were there for vest bomb making lessons). The most terrifying thing is that they are lurking all around us waiting to strike when Obama gives the order. It is part of a secret global conspiracy arranged by then Senator Obama, President Bush, Arafat and Desante Fox over a decade ago.

Although in my opinion FDR would be better suited for Rushmore, as our first Black President and the man to lead us against great odds out of the second great depression Obama is a more likely candidate.

Rumsfeld wasted US resources in Iraq rather than go in heavy in Afganistan where Bin Laden was hiding. as a result the entire region is a big mess with little hope of much improvement in the near future.

If we doubled the food stamp program and cut corporate wellfare in half the average taxpayer would save $ 365.00 a year. If that happened they could allow people to buy liquor and cigarettes with food stamps and I would not give a damn!

I have always liked the basic tenants of the libertarian view but it never deals very well with the grey areas the majority of our policy disputes fall under. For instance if I own a small piece of property should the government never be allowed to take it for the greater good even if I am well compensated for the land? Should I be allowed to burn old tires to heat my garage even though my neighbors don't like the smell, how about cigars in an eleavator if I own the building? I should be able to do business with only those I choose to but what if the Walton family dosn't like B****s or Asians and bans them from all Wallmart and Sam club stores. This philosophy ion the abstract is appealing but is often useless in application.

Yup, Bush was so busy avenging his dads screw up in Iraq he missed the oppertunity to get Bin Laden in Afganistan.

If your faith protected you from venomous snakes that you were handling wouldn't it make sense that it would also protect you from putting a loaded gun against your head and pulling the trigger? Or guzzling poison or running across the freeway?

With his poor attitude this guy can't be getting much action other than from his right hand.

This is a good point, Ronald Reagan was loyal to no one but himself.

When I lived in Montana this six and a half foot tall loudmouth from Texas got a job in town, all he did was brag about Texas. One day he dropped dead of a heart attack. At the undertakers the morticians assistant was worried because the biggest coffin they had was only 6 feet tall voicing his concern to the undertaker he was supprised when the man was not concerned, asked what he should do to fit the huge man in an undersized coffin the undertaker replied "he's a Texan, just give him an enema and put him in a shoebox."

Do any of you have funny jokes about Texas and Texans? my Brother in Law is from Texas and I love to give him a good ribbing.

If the majority of your brothers and sisters are dissatisfied with your elected union leaders v**e to change them! My guess is that the majority are satisfied with the leadership and you are in the minority.
