Florida Republican fumes at not having a chair in meeting, leads walk out
Raw Story
Excerpt
Nice Rug Dude
A Florida Republican, John Mica, who is the ranking minority member of the Transportation Committee in the House of Representatives, stormed out of a meeting last week, leading other Republican members with him. An article today in Roll Call reports that he was angry because he was not seated properly during an orientation session….
Mica was angered that he was not given a seat at the head. He asked for a new chair, and while waiting outside the room for it to arrive, asked all the Republicans to quit the meeting. “I was not pleased with the arrangement to sort of exclude the ranking member at the first meeting,” he told Roll Call.
H.L.s Take
Oh boo hoooo, he wasn’t seated at the front of the room. What a crybaby, Republicans still don’t get it that they are in the minority and always have been. They are dangerous extremists and terrorists. When the Republicans were in control Democrats
could not even get a room to hold a meeting. They had to use a basement in the middle of the night. This guy is complaining because he was not seated at the front of the room. Gee, that sucks dude.

Dear Liberals,
I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to all of you for making me aware of so many important issues. Some examples of things that I’ve learned from you include:
1. The earth is warming: I never would have known about global warming if it weren’t for the bumper sticker on your BMW. Now (shhh, don’t tell anyone), I know that these cars aren’t known for clean emissions and low gas mileage; I also know that you live in a large, energy-consuming house cut into a mountain-side. As long as you communicate your message to others without inconveniencing yourself, that is really what matters most. Thanks for the effort.
2. War is for oil: I learned from another bumper sticker on an SUV that the war in Iraq was for oil! Where have I been for the last 5 years? Although that SUV burns more fuel than just about any other car on the road today, it’s great to know that you are so concerned about the war that you were willing to deface your bumper to make your point. Please – don’t get off of your heated leather seats and do anything about it – the bumper sticker is more than enough.
3. Wal-Mart sucks: Without your eloquent protests, I never would have known that Wal-Mart is ruining the world. Although Target, Sears and many other retailers in North America source the same merchandise and have similar employment practices to Wal-Mart, It’s wonderful that you’ve selected Wal-Mart to pick on. I’m most impressed that you have singled out the one retailer that provides more, affordable food and clothing to lower income families than all of the other retailers combined. I know…you really do want the dirty lower class to have access to low cost food and clothing; you just don’t want them to find it in a Wal-Mart in your town.
4. War is not the answer: Aside from defeating Nazism, Fascism and Communism, providing equal rights for women and ridding the world of large-scale rapists and tyrannists, war is worthless. I am sure every American that lived through World War II was disappointed with the outcome. In fact, many of them were probably looking forward to speaking German and watching their Jewish friends die mercilessly. Thanks for setting me straight.
Thank you for exposing me to the group-think, follower-based mentality so rampant in liberals today. Critical thinking is overrated.
