Inside The Beltway - House Forms Special Panel Over Alleged Stolen Vote

by Jonathan Weisman and Elizabeth Williamson - August 4th, 2007 - Washington Post

. . . . when GOP lawmakers moved to send the 2008 agriculture spending bill back to the House Appropriations Committee for members to add an explicit prohibition on illegal immigrants receiving food stamps . . [snip] . . Democratic leaders were in no mood to comply.

Democrats appeared to have won the vote [this is opinion and a perfect example of how socialist writers brainwash readers], but with the voting time apparently having expired [still opnion, the clock used to keep track of the vote still had the voting process open and the votes were being tallied], GOP leaders persuaded three Latino Republicans who had voted with the Democrats to change their votes. At the same time, Democrats say, five Democratic lawmakers who had voted with Republicans were scrambling to change their votes as well [again opinion, this is the excuse being touted by the democrats and these writers, who side with the democrats are simply arguing the democrats case for them]. With two of the GOP votes changed, Democrats gaveled the vote shut, 214 to 214, and declared that they had won. But the public tally showed that the Republicans had won, 215 to 213, just as the vote was declared for the Democrats. The official final tally was 216 to 212 in the Democrats' favor [not according to the official electronic scoring system, only according to the opinon of democrats who change the rules as they wish].

But House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said there were no Democrats seeking to change their votes at the time. Moreover, he charged, Hoyer had told a protesting parliamentarian, "We control, not the parliamentarians." And, he said, electronic records on the vote disappeared from the House's voting system and on the House clerk's Web site.

"Many of my colleagues and I feel as though the vote was taken from us," Boehner said.

In a raucous protest, Republicans walked out of the House en masse.

This is a perfect example of the slanted and biased news that portrays opinion as fact by the main stream media (MSM). As you read this article you have to be impressed with how carefully the case is made that the democrats are right and the Republicans are wrong, without ever actually saying that. I really hate the inside the beltway lies which are so often presented as news, but every now and again the abuse is so obvious even an idiot can see the democrat corruption behind the lies. The only recent case of the electonic records disappearing was on this vote. Does anyone really think this is coincidence? These left wing writers don't seem to think this is ever worth noting.

The "unanimous" vote to refer this issue to a special panel gained support of democrats only after they were assured that the electronic records had "disappeared". There is therefore no record to be examined but the reality that the verbal vote count called by democrat leadership was in conflict with the electronic board at the time it was called. Nothing will ever come of this. The democrats stole a vote to keep illegal aliens getting federal assistance. They know it. The corruption has been hidden by deleting the records. It will be investigated and a year from now no one will know anything more than they know now.

What we know now is that the democrat party is a socialist party, at war with American free enterprise. They will commit any act of corruption that leads to socialist power, including aligning our government with any group that is at war with America. The Mexican government and its people are at war with America. They are invading America. It is therefore not surprising that democrats (in support of the socialist agenda of Mexico) always align themselves with the illegal aliens (their socialist brethren). Are you surprised?
