talking truth to power on the house floor?

The first Senate vote — your 16 nos — basically your obligatory filibuster statement to get a requirement of 60 votes.

Cornyn, Crapo, Cruz, Enzi, Grassley, Heller, Johnson (Wis), Lee, Paul, Risch, Roberts, Rubio, Sessions, Shelby, Toomey, Vitter

And the second vote, here are your 18 nos — a vote not to raise the debt ceiling, a vote for a default .

Coburn (Oklahoma), Cornyn (Texas), Crapo (Idaho), Cruz (Texas), Enzi (Wyoming) , Grassley (Iowa) , Heller (Nevada) , Johnson (Wisconsin), Lee (Utah), Paul (Kentucky), Risch (Idaho), Roberts (Kansas), Rubio (Florida), Scott (South Carolina), Sessions (Alabama), Shelby (Alabama), Toomey (Pennsylvania), Vitter (Louisiana).

Not voting, but he would have been in this roll call had he been available — Inhofe of Oklahoma.

Analyze this list to the cows come home.  Cornyn and Scott are in that second slot and not in the first.  Texas, Oklahoma, and Alabama go for the Big “Two fer”.  And your “purple to blue” state cohorts are Grassley of Iowa, Heller of Nevada, Johnson of Wisconsin, Rubio of Florida, and Toomey of Pennsylvania — which you can parse out with Rubio’s national ambitions and the rest…  a bunch of “huh”s.

And I guess this is the inglorious House Vote on the matter.  We see the rare breaking of the Hastert Rule to get this passed — so it is a vote with a united Democratic vote and a minority of Republican votes bringing about a majority.

A curious twist on this vote comes in about here

A stenographer staged a bizarre performance on the House floor near the end of the debt ceiling vote last night, ranting about Freemasons before she was quickly dragged away by security guards.
Moments before House members passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling, a woman later identified as stenographer Diane Reidy approached the microphone at the Speaker’s Lobby in a trance-like state and began to shout.
“He will not be mocked, don’t touch me, he will not be mocked,” Reidy ranted, adding, “The greatest deception here is this is not one nation under God, it never was.”
Officials begin to remove Reidy as she screamed, “It never was, had it been, it would not have been….the Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons, they go against God, you cannot serve two masters.”
“Praise be God, Lord Jesus Christ,” she added.
Reidy also reportedly said “A House divided cannot stand — you are all sons of the devil!”
According to Rep. Joaquin Castro, the woman “had a crazed look” on her face. “It was very disturbing for the members of Congress,” he said.

And I link to Prison Planet and post the concluding paragraph…

“For that one short tiny moment we actually had some sanity and bravery on the House Floor!”joked Daniel McAdams, labeling Reidy “the last sane person on Capitol Hill.”

With the question… how do I know Daniel McAdams is joking?
Reading the comments in the prisonplanet article… I don’t think they’re joking.  And into the comments… there are indeed those people who believe she was just speaking Truth to Power.

Looking over this facebook page...

Bet she was preprogrammed “mkultra” to do that. After this, she has to be fired. Poor woman.
I mean why was she escorted off of the floor? Same reason snowden is a wanted man….. Its illegal to tell the truth in amerikkka
She was either given a “trigger word” or the ok to spill the beans because their are those who want a peoples revolt in america
Anybody see the white haired guy talk to her and then nod his head to her?, right after that, she stopped packing up or moving her shit, and strutted up there and spoke!!! HE SAID SOMETHING TO HER!!!
I think she watches RT

And now we move into the conspiracy matrix.  Who is that gray haired guy who whispers into her ear?

More…

So, speaking with conviction is crazy now?
They were waaaaay to quick to label this as something more than someone who is finally fed up with the BS in politics.
They don’t want us getting any ideas to do the same.
I think she is the spark….
Everything she said is ABSOLUTE TRUTH and believed by at least 75% of Americans (if not more). They are afraid of what she said and the power behind it, as they should be! A reckoning is coming…AND THAT RIGHT SOON!
The media will drown her out before Sunday rolls around. She’ll be no different than the guy on the street corner hold a sign reading “the end is near”.
Thats what they are hoping for… BUT, people are seeing through their lies! Those who are chosen are being awakened!

Anyway… God told her to do this… and some people are saying that this is what “They” want you to believe.
