I'm a little bit confused as to why it was wrong for these congresspeople to want more time on the issue. I think this might be one of the many instances where someone tries really hard to try to find something wrong that a Dem did after finding out a right-winger did something truly bad. Things are not always exactly even, just like when they have on someone on to talk about people riding dinosaurs and someone talking about evolution- these are not two sides of any issue.
I have seen the video purporting to be Democrats leaving rather than voting on a Republican motion several times. I have never seen a date/time stamp on the video proving when it was taken and have never seen anyone actually identify those leaving the room as Democratic members of the committee in question. I know this is not comparable to the staged ACORN media stunts, but has anyone confirmed or verified the video is what it claims to be?
and if it is, what does it prove? That politics is practiced on Capitol Hill?
Thank you.
