    So they're shutting down Congress as a result? I don't see the downside.

    This thread is lame. Mindless on its own. The OP explains nothing, it's link explains nothing. I at least found enough to search with .

    Take note here on some speculation that adds up and fits the pattern of association with our corrupt intelligence agency and the history of mass murders.

    The group sitting down are the other, governmental side of the group that arranged the CIA connected, mind controlled shooter as a extensive ploy to attempt to force enaction of greater gun control.

    There are enough questionable elements in all of the mass murders with consistent associations to leave the door open on this possibility.

    They all looked like a bunch of Berkeley students from the 60's.

    That's right, that's exactly who the Democrats are, burned out hippies from the 60's.

    Looked to me like they were trying to nail down the black vote with that "kumbaya" thing.

    It's so funny because they think this can actually stop a vote.

    If they are present in the floor then a quorum exists. They can sit on the floor all they want. Votes will go on.

    That was a popular protest song during the 60's.

    Here in La La Land back in 2011 during the OWS protest and defecating, "Kumbaya" was the official song of the anarchist.

    Best thing the repubs have done in years. Freedom wins, central control and govt loses. Perfect..

    Arming criminals and disarming law abiding citizen will many matters even worse..Think, (tough for a lib I know)

    They're done and they know it and this is only the beginning.

    Its not a myth. Democrats had control of both houses and the presidency for Obamas first two years.

    You can look it up.

    They're not covering because it's not huge. Just a publicity stunt that failed. No one noticed and no one cares that the whiney left are throwing a tantrum..

    Both sides were obstructionist. Both sides believed in and practiced the "My way or the highway," approached. As for proof, not only did Senator Reid as majority leader of the senate from Jan 2009-Jan 2015 obstruct and stop all Republican House passed bills, he also blocked all Democratic sponsored bill that the GOP house had passed.

    http://thehill.com/homenews/house/200228-house-dems-to-senate-dems-pass-our-bills

    Trying to attach sole blame to one side or the other is nothing more than hyper partisanship rhetoric. What you have or had was both the Democratic and Republican leadership putting political party over country and loyalty to party over loyalty to nation. This is why congress as a whole has an approval rating of 10% or below. This is why the majority of all Americans view both political parties in a very negative light.

    People are tired of Democrats blaming Republicans and Republicans blaming Democrats. Most people know both parties are to blame.

    Who were right about the Vietnam war...The incredible obstruction, class warfare, and lies of the GOP the last 30 years need to be protested. Our cowardly corporate media and BS Fox are a disgrace and little help.

    Yup, the GOP has given us 9/11, the stupidest wars ever, a corrupt world depression, the worst propaganda machine in our history, the wreck of the middle class and the country, and 8 years of mindless obstruction and sabotage, and we should be quiet about it. Hilarious. Change the channel and get some reality. See sig.

    ACTUALLY, for less than 6 months, about a month in session, all used on the ACA. Unless you think being filibustered over 200 times by the GOP is control. And we see again how misinformed viewers of Fox, Rush, Savage, etc etc etc are.See also all those Hillary lies and scandals. A disgrace.

    BS. If you look at the GOP "jobs bills", every single one was designed to be DOA- ALL based on cutting worker rights and pollution safeguards, none had any chance. Just for GOP propaganda you parrot.
