C-SPAN’s been re-running last night’s vote dispute and this morning’s statements by Republican leaders. Could it be that Republican leaders have finally learned they must get out there every day and be strong and visible if they want the media to cover them like they cover the Dems.?

Of course, can’t expect the liberal networks to show what’s happening truthfully. But Republicans are getting a good run on C-SPAN. And they look and sound excellent. ‘Bout time they stood up. Hope they keep it up.

They should give Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.) a microphone more often.

The Repubs. have been so bashed by the media that when they do stand up and fight, they have a deer in the headlights look. Maybe someone should give them crisis communication training so they can compete in media street-fighting with the likes of Schumer, Clinton, Emmanuel, Durbin, et.al. Today, it doesn’t matter how right you are if you can’t communicate it and defend it.

Republicans fighting for National Security right now on House Floor. 1:55EST.

Pushback. Dem. Fifth Columinist terror-helpers getting caught flat footed trying to push a bill the DNI has said is inadequate.

Thank you Republican House members/ leaders. Especially, Thank you Heather Wilson R. (NM).

Got a lot on the ball. Knows how to push back. Hillery, better start looking over your shoulder.

Hope Wilson runs for Senate.

The vote was gaveled closed. It was over. The final tally was 215-212 Republicans. When the Dems realized they had lost, they started changing their votes which they could not legally do.
The Republicans demanded the original tally to be shown on the electronic voting screen. The presiding chair (McNulty?) then said the screen was not working.
Parlimentary opinion was requested by the Republicans and it was denied so they walked.
So much for Pelosi’s most honest congress in our history.
