Oppressed minority fights for its rights!

Did you know the Republican Party is an oppressed minority?

It is - according to, well, the Republican Party.

So the poor, oppressed, innocent GOP is now abusing congressional procedures to fight for its rights!

Congressional Republicans were so peeved at the big, mean Democrats that they fought back by demanding roll call votes 52 times on the same bill yesterday.

They kept asking for revotes on amendments to the bill that had passed unanimously. Then they asked for votes on whether they could vote again. When they were out of amendments, they whipped up a few more revisions to this bill for them to vote on.

Republicans claimed they had a constitutional right to gunk up congressional business with these frivolous votes.

Nothing like a hilarious partisan tantrum to put a little spice in your afternoon, huh?
