They should be on topic once we finish the rule to consider the bill and acutally get on the bill itself.

Democrats theme for the past month has been the minimum wage, so not overly surprised they take any opportunity to stay on their message.

Not much has happened so far, still debating the rule to consider the bill.

GOP people asserting the bill is very important, reciting moral grounds. Few dems arguing that there are more important priorities, like minimum wage.

Conyers said this bill should be called "Abromov's revenge," as his former clients actually would approve of this. And former Nebraska coach, now a rep, Tom Osborne, spoke about dangers of gambling on sports.

It's interesting how Mr. Goodlatte's passion increased after the opening of Conyer's argument of the "carve out" exemptions - is Mr. Goodlatte on tilt? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Damn do I hate Republicans. I'm so sorry I ever voted for one of those right wing bible thumping hypocritical blowards. They are really all the same.

So I can bet on horses but I can't play poker? What a holy load of crap.
