You survived between 1994 and 2006. You can survive another 3 or 4 decades of GOP control of the House.

The "Fascists" is out of the seat. Now you're gonna see true leadership that represents the people. Blubbering and all.

The "representative of the people" who was passing out checks from tobacco lobbyists on the House floor before a vote to cut tobacco subsidies?

There is no viable opposition party in the U.S., only two faces of the Capitalist Party -- one unabashed, the other apologetic; so as the Empire crumbles the people going down with it are doing the only thing they can think to do: throw out whichever party is in control on election day and install the other party. These oscillations are getting wilder and more frequent, so, I seriously doubt the Republicans will hold the House longer than 4 years -- 6 on the outside.

Yes, the same "representative of the people" who a couple years ago performed chin-quivering, chest-heaving sobs before the entire House congregation as he appealed to his colleagues to pass TARP -- which he now with an impeccable Orwellian flourish blames Obama for.

"True leadership," eh? I'll remind you you said that, nummy-nuts.

Violated the law? As in, somehow the law has been thwarted? You're not making sense, man (and/or woman).

I might add that the law (which I've only read about for the first time last week) makes mention of making mention of Hitler and/or Nazis in an Internet discussion. Since I have now made mention of Hitler and/or Nazis with this post, the law...is affirmed!

Nah. You gotta explicitly mention Nazis or Hitler. Now that I have, the law is affirmed.
Mention of fascists isn't good enough?

I just edited my post whilst you made yours, though the spirit of it is not altered. Anyway -- no, it's not good enough in my book. Perhaps you're reaching for a corollary to the law, or would like to propose one for peer review...?
