Tom Price (R-GA) — repeatedly talked over, screamed, and shouted objections. “I object, I object, I object,” Price interjected as Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) tried to hold the floor.

VIDEO: "I object! I object! I object!"
The Political Carnival — By GottaLaff Since I'm out here in California, I miss a lot of the early morning newsy craziness that many of you witness on a daily basis. This morning, Paddy called me screaming, "Turn on CSPAN! Turn on CSPAN!" Being a person who is right in tune with Paddy's subtleties and nuanced delivery, I went right over and flipped on the Tee Vee Machine, only to this jaw-dropping spectacle: Mr. Chairman, I object to the objections. I move to remind my colleagues to STFU. I yield the rest of my time. In an effort to delay and derail the proceedings, ...

"I Object": Tom Price Tries To Shut Down Democratic Congresswomen (VIDEO)
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — On Saturday morning, a group of House Republicans -- led by Rep. Tom Price (R-Georgia) -- attempted to stop the Democratic Women's Caucus from making their arguments about how the health bill would benefit women by screaming over them. Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.) only had time to say "Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to--," before Price shouted "I object." The presiding chair, Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) made gestures to maintain control, declaring that "the request is not yet before the House" and that Price was "out of order," to little effect. Capps attempted to go on, but Price continued shouting "I object! I object! I object!" ...

GOP Members Shout Down Women Members of Congress
Matthew Yglesias — I spent the day at the zoo rather than watching C-SPAN. And obviously the action is still happening. But this is pretty remarkable. The Democratic Women’s Caucus had a series of speakers lined up to talk in favor of the health care bill, and Republicans decided to shut them up by talking over them, endlessly interrupting with spurious parliamentary inquiries: It’s bizarre behavior. I’m not one to put a ton of stock in the idea that civility is the be-all and end-all of politics, but this kind of thing is really nuts and I think only serves to underscore ...

David E's Fablog — by David E | (Visited 45 times) Was Olivier any greater? I think not! Meanwhile. . . President Obama exhorted Democrats on Saturday to approve a sweeping overhaul of health care and to “answer the call of history” as the House began debating legislation that would transform the nation’s health insurance system. Democrats quickly took a significant step toward passage of the plan by surmounting a key procedural hurdle in approving the rules for debate. Despite a sharp party divide over how strictly to limit spending for abortions, leading Democrats were increasingly confident they had locked up the necessary support for the measure. A handful of undecided lawmakers ...

Health Care Reform Bill Passes in the House -- Blue Dogs, Republicans and Spineless Dems Throw Women Under the Bus
2 Political Junkies — The Stupak Amendment to the Health Care Reform bill in the House of Representatives passed with 240 yeas, 194 nays and 1 present vote. What does that mean? It means that women have been singled out to be the only class of people to actually lose coverage under the HCR bill. While Rep. Bart Stupak (D, He-Man-Women-Haters-Club) claimed that the his amendment would just ensure that no federal funds would pay for abortion, that is just a BIG FAT LIE. There is already the Hyde Amendment which says no Federal funds can be used to pay for abortions except in the case of rape, incest, or life of the woman. What the Stupak Amendment ...

More Republican Bullying — Trying to Shut Down Women’s Voices
Delaware Liberal — Just take a look at this compilation of the bullying behavior by House Republicans while the House Democratic Woman’s Caucus tries to speak on the benefits to women in the Health Care bill: YouTube Preview Image This is schoolyard chauvinism right here. Not like these fools have any other kind of chauvinism, but the conservative defaulting to schoolyard bullying when they are losing their arguments or just don’t have any arguments to make reflects the mindset of a group of people who have no ideas to bring to the table. Trying to shout down women trying to speak for themselves is very OG chauvinist and certainly not in the category of civil debate. So all of you wingnuts ...

The gender wedge
Ben Smith's Blog —   With reproductive rights in play, Democrats have begun to push hard at widening the political gender gap, and Think Progress seems to think this video -- featuring Republicans, most of them men, repeatedly interrupting Democratic women to object -- has some legs. They're holding a conference call at 2:00 p.m. with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz at 2 pm to push the story.

I object

But when one party is determined to try to obstruct the process, then it’s a veritable circus.

Republicans shouted over Democratic speakers with this refrain: “I object… I object… I object…” Take a look at the video below, which shows Republicans shouting down Democrats attempting to speak about their support for the bill. What a pathetic display. ...
