Texas Democrats Throw a Tantrum [05/13/03]

[In the News]

Un fricken believable... Texas Democrats go hide in Oklahoma instead of continuing the legislative process. We have a budget crisis, and they're throwing a temper tantrum. What a joke.

This is pissing me off. Here's another article.

I can't believe this quote...

"Our House rules, including those regarding a quorum, were adopted precisely to protect the people from what is before the House today -- the tyranny of a majority," they said. "By our actions today we are fulfilling our responsibilities to our constituents and upholding our oaths we took to serve the people of Texas."
The "tyranny of a majority"? Since when doesn't majority rule? What the hell do they think democracy is? And since when are quorum rules established to protect from the majority? They're set up to ensure the majority is represented, ya dorks. They're upholding their oaths to serve the people of Texas? Give me a freakin' break! Get back to Texas and do your job! mad

Incidentally... I would be just as angry if the Republicans did this.
