Fight on the House floor.

[patrice]

Somebody keeps trying to interrupt Tim Ryan of Ohio and he won't yeild.

He ended with "You go to war with the pResident you have. You don't go to war with the pResident you wish you had."

[SharonAnn]

1. You go to war with the president you have. Not the president you wish you had.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

2. Oh. NO. I mean NO one interrupts my C-SPAN hero Tim Ryan.

Cranking up the c-span right now.

I :loveya: tim ryan's passionate speeches!

[alittlelark]

3. Damn... I hope that makes it to YouTube!

[oasis]

10. It was indeed a classic. (eom)

[ncrainbowgrrl]

4. awww man, i missed his speech. it's back to the rethug club.

:(

[Sydnie]

7. Obviously, no one has told Shadegg that Stewart skewered him

tonight! :rofl: Hope he is in the replay too!

[Sydnie]

5. I thought they agreed to end debate at midnight every day?

Are they still going on now?

[ncrainbowgrrl]

6. like the energizer bunny... still going...

[SeattleGirl]

8. Actually, the CSPAN narrator said it would be going on until 1 am.

[Lindsay]

11. Yeah, they added an extra hour tonight.

I hope Ryan's speech makes Youtube, too.

The best part: "We didn't call you unpatriotic when you sent soldiers to war without enough armor. We called you incompetent, but not unpatriotic."

(To the best of my recollection. He said it better.)

[Sydnie]

12. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Sorry I missed it! Hope Crooks and Liars caught it, or someone loads it to youtube!

[me b zola]

14. !

:wow:

:applause:

[oasis]

16. He also said something about the Republicans constantly comparing the Iraq war

with our Revolutionary war, Civil war and WWII. Then he says that Chimpyboy isn't Washington, Lincoln or Roosevelt.

You got that right.

[oasis]

9. Smaaaaackdown.

[patrice]

13. Shadegg just quoted that book

Muslims are supposed to engage in their struggle ". . . peacefully if possible and violently if not." Well don't you think we settled that choice when we invaded?

[Sydnie]

15. Fuck you Shadegg ... the world already thinks we are monsters

and nonbinding resolution isn't going to change that one bit, but it might make them begin to think that we are finally getting our heads out of our ass!

[Sydnie]

17. I love me some Kendrick Meeks!

Go you 30-something, GO!

[oasis]

21. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is up and is delivering a heart wrenching address.(eom)

[oasis]

24. She just did a smackdown of (R) Steve Buyer. (eom)

[patrice]

18. Ryan made clear points on the shoddy treatment of theTroops.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

19. Wasserman-Schultz Is Up

[Sydnie]

20. I love her

If only Landreu had a bit of her spine, NOLA might be on better footing now, huh?

[Bjornsdotter]

25. Major ass kicking

.....Wasserman-Schultz is throwing right back to the asshole from IN.

Cheers

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

22. Wasserman & Buyer Going At It nt

[oasis]

34. She reminds Rethug Buyer of how long congress has gone without oversight of Bush.nt

[Sydnie]

23. Stephen Buyer - phishing for fodder!

:puke:

[Bjornsdotter]

26. Time to fill his email

...with examples of republicans questioning the patriotism of Democrats.

Cheers

[Sydnie]

27. He needs to go have a nap

He's bloviating and not doing it very well either.

[w8liftinglady]

28. Tomorrow,we have to have a major letter-writing thanking wasserman and ryan

for having the balls to throw this shit right back in their faces

[oasis]

29. Buyer's spinning more than Bill O' Leilly.

[w8liftinglady]

30. Damn-Ryan is KICKING ASS

[w8liftinglady]

32. Chris Murphy up

[patrice]

35. EXCELLENT point: Bush does nothing to address the causes

of the insurgency.

[Bjornsdotter]

31. Tim Ryan

.....going back to kick ass again!

Cheers

[patrice]

33. I like that Ryan just doesn't let them trash his points!

[patrice]

36. Tell me Buyer isn't comparing Gulf1 to the Invasion of Iraq!!

[Sydnie]

38. Yeah he is

Whining about what he didn't have ... sure sounds like "if it was good enough for me, it's good enough for them", doesn't it?

[w8liftinglady]

40. "we didn't even have doors on our humvees"

[oasis]

44. You also had a real "coalition" that had your back. You sorry snot nose bastid.

I'd spit in your face right now.:puke:

[Sydnie]

46. Not to mention that Saddam was still in Poppy's pocket somewhat

back then. After all, he did leave him alone, didn't invade Baghdad and force Saddam to go on the lamb, did he? Nope, he didn't. He tried to control him because he was OUR guy. We LET him invade Kuwait just so we could flex our muscle, nothing more.

[oasis]

48. true dat.(eom)

[Sydnie]

37. Buyer - telling his "I walked to school, uphill, both ways" type of story

ain't going to cut it. We didn't have doors on our vehicles! We didn't have body plates!

And neither do these kids Dude. What's your point?

[patrice]

39. Is he saying in effect We didn't have the up-armour so they dont' need it?

No way! I can't believe anyone would be that stupid.

[Sydnie]

43. That's how I took it

I hear Bill Cosby in my head saying "we ate dirt, and we were happy to have it" ... that is how he was presenting it imho.

[oasis]

41. Buyer's got to stress the point that he's a vet of Desert Storm. Tough guy.

But if doesn't watch out, Tim Ryan is going to body slam his sorry ass.

[patrice]

45. I wonder how many other sources he has read on the topic.

He's very impressed with this one book. Who is that author? I want to look him/her up.

[oasis]

47. He's filibustering. He's quoting the bible now.

[patrice]

49. I have no doubt that Buyer has never read a subject matter expert

with the opposite opinion.

Cherry picking the evidence - as usual.

[flyarm]

42. omg..this was incredible!! Ryan kicked ass and wasn't taking prisoners..

he was going for blood!!

even my husband who it not political was sitting on his computer and when the indiana asshole Steve Buyer started speaking my husband said in unison with me..bullshit!!

In fact my husband got up to see who was speaking when Ryan was speaking..and my husband said wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

( my husband is a former reservist, during nam)

Ryan was wonderful..powerful..and there are not enough words to say he was right and he is now my hero!!

I am happy i sent him money while running for office.....he did us proud!!

I will be sending him a letter tommorrow to thank him from the bottom of my heart!!

and that dickhead Shadegg..followed the "letter of talking points" to the "T" , he even read out of a book about Jehaidsts..what a frigging joke..a sad ,pitiful example of someone who says they support the troops..he is a propagandist!
and a boring one to boot!!

Debbie was wonderful as well..she went right after Buyer..

and Meeks who i adore was great as well...for the closing they sure made this exciting and truthful!!

I am a delegate for the state of Fla..and i believe Ohio and Fla congress people did us proud tonight!!

fly

[rebel with a cause]

50. I am fairly content with my representative due to his voting record,

but does he ever speak? My ability to deal with stress does not allow me to watch C-SPAN's coverage of these events for very long. His name is Costello (D) Illinois.

[Sydnie]

51. Link to Ryan's speech from last night! Woot!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRBUW3W_7Pg

[KelleyKramer]

52. Daym!

That guy is good!

And i didnt know they had already tried a surge three times before.

Thanks for the video, while posters comments were good, you still need to see and hear him.. Wow!

[Sydnie]

54. I agree

It's a must see for yourself moment.

[Glimmer of Hope]

55. I didn't know this either. He was quoting surges in the 20,000 range with stats

to prove they resulted in more violence. I have not heard this before.

[Sydnie]

56. Well, it makes sense if you stop and think about it

Wasn't there a big surge just after the 2004 elections when Fallujah exploded? If I remember correctly, he had brought troops home before the election and they had backed off most aggressive missions, then after the election, all hell broke loose and the numbers of deployed rose again.

[Glimmer of Hope]

57. Oh yeah. The demolition of the city, people murdered in their bed and the white phosphorus.

How could I forget?

[Sydnie]
