House Dems Turn Out the Lights On the GOP
Politico is reporting that while GOP leaders opposed a motion to adjourn the House, the Democrats have closed up shop and even turned out the lights. While the lights and microphones have since been turned back on, it makes for an amusing mental image and possibly even a few dark YouTube video spoofs. "Only about a half-dozen Republicans were on the floor when this began, but the crowd has grown to about 20 now, according to Patrick O'Connor. 'This is the people's House,' Rep, Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) said. 'This is not Pelosi's politiburo.' Democratic aides were furious at the GOP stunt, and reporters were kicked out of the Speaker's Lobby, the space next to the House floor where they normally interview lawmakers."
how dare a company make a profit!
Do you think pumping money into Big Oil's pockets to drill offshore will solve our energy crisis? Seriously? Why not spin it some more? I'm sure we can accuse the democrats of manufacturing child pornography and terrorism while we're at it.
I'm not trying to make conservatives see reason. That is impossible. I'm trying to show how stupid they are so undecided folks don't make the mistake of believing them.

FACT: You have, or posited to have, a gas powered car. FACT: You could have bought a diesel, but didn't consider the benefit of gas mileage to outweigh the cost. My post responded directly to these facts, albeit in a quite nasty tone. Nasty tone however, does not an Ad Hominem attack make.
