    No, I won't lighten up.

    I won't let my 4 or 8 year old children behave in that manner.

    For a supposed adult to act like that in a joint session of congress is beyond the pale.

    Rep. Wilson wasn't the only member acting like a buffoon, the Rep. from Tx with a sign around his neck, various reps. waving papers around....

    It's Congress, not a damned circus.

    If the Republicans continue to behave like children, then they deserve ridicule and scorn, not respect. While the leadership of the House has been less than desireable, it doesn't justify their actions.

    Then the administration should have treated it like he was speaking to Congress and not a campaign event.

    The POTUS should have arrived on time to speak at 8pm, not 8:10. The circus that was the members of the congressional branch greeting and escorting the POTUS, and the fawning over the POTUS cabinet like they where welcoming royalty, to me, was abhorrent.

    Even with a teleprompter, he still stumbled all over his speech.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Find me video of a speech to Congress where the party leaders of the POTUS's party don't do that.

    Ild find it abhorrent for any POTUS or House of Congress to pull this kind circus act.

    When you go to a play and the the curtain is suposed to go up at 8:00, wouldnt you be irked if the curtain didnt go up until 8:10? Before the curtain went up wouldnt you be irked if the stage hands came out and announced they were escorting the prima donna into the theater?

    Rep. Wilson deserves a slap on the back and an atta boy.

    Maybe a *slap* on the back of the HEAD ...

    but NO atta boy, that's for sure.

    Your right. An atta boy is way to little for exercising his First Amendment rights.

    So....

    It's okay to exercise your First amendment rights by shouting over someone who is exercising theirs? Yep, great way to debate and solve problems.

    Responsibility goes hand in hand with the rights enumerated in the Constitution.

    The Representatives have handed the Democrats perfect examples of Republican behavior which they'd be foolish not to use in a campaign. It's always a bad concept to hand the opposition ammunition.

    Note to the Republicans.....when you find yourself in a hole, put down the shovel.

    The Representatives have the House floor open to them to speak as they wish daily for one minute speeches. Should the Representative wish to do so, he could use that time to speak his peace.

    Interrupting a speech is petty and childish.

    You complain about the President arriving 10 minutes late, but it's okay for someone to cause further delay and attempt to turn the speech into a circus?

    Nice double standard.

    Which reinforces what I have thought all along.


    Kids could run this country better than the puffoons (Sir, are you calling me a puffoon?) in office now.

    I remember somewhere back in a thread we were talking about tossing a whole boatload of kids into a playground and watching them figure things out.

    There's a great deal to be learned there.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    Really!

    Think kids are great do you?

    Great deal to be learned from them?

    What a difference a day makes!
