On Saturday morning, a group of House Republicans -- led by Rep. Tom Price (R-Georgia) -- attempted to stop the Democratic Women's Caucus from making their arguments about how the health bill would benefit women by screaming over them. Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.) only had time to say "Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to--," before Price shouted "I object." The presiding chair, Rep. John Dingell...

If you watched any of the Rules Committee, you saw quite a show put on by Republicans. It's only continuing today, and was particularly obnoxious this morning while the House Democratic women were speaking. Here's just a sliver of what we have to look forward to today. In another effort to try to derail this plan, Greg Sargent reports that Republicans are trying to cook up trouble around immigration...

video courtesy of Media Matters Those uppity females in Congress. Who do they think they are, trying to participate in our democracy on one of the biggest bills in front of Congress? Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), one of the GOP's minions, continues the J oe Wilsonification of Congress to prevent discussion over Stupak's amendment, one that may actually lead to effectively a ban on abortion for low income...

The Republicans are obstructing any way they can this morning. Watch the videos. The way I feel about this compromise vote is probably akin to how Thomas Jefferson felt when the anti-slavery clause was stricken from the Declaration of Independence in order to get enough votes to pass. Stupak probably doesn’t have the votes, but again: Why [...]

Little Man, Big Douche Saturday saw a historic vote in the House of Representatives for health care reform. The Democrats were successfully able to pass a comprehensive bill that covers over 30 million more Americans and fight costs for all.

Yesterday, Rep. John Dingell and the Women's Democratic Caucus in the House were no more than frustrated baby sitters dealing with incorrigible, bratty seven years olds playing the "I'm not touching you" game while wiggling their fingers in their opponents' faces. These are elected officials whose sole purpose was to delay the proceedings and derail the vote for House health care bill on the day it...

In each and every case, the Republicans rose to object. That's my congresswoman Lois Capps being disrespected...
