Thank you, again, for providing clarifying details. The content of his rant, however, was not about the specifics of the bill before him. His anger and fury concerned the abandonment of the Constitution, and the complacency of the electorate in allowing policies to be dictated by crony-politics.

Two questions.
1) Does anyone care that the title of this thread is wrong? This happened in the Illinois House of Representatives, not the US House.
2) Does anyone know the background of what this guy is ranting over...or do people just like to see others yell and scream and that makes them "right'???edit on 30-5-2012 by OutKast Searcher because: (no reason given)

His rant had nothing to do with the Constitution...his rant is that he is pissed that he is a republican in Illinois that is overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats.
So he is going to cry and say it's not fair that he doesn't get what he wants.
I don't think many people care anymore what this issues are, and this man's outburst is a reflection of the way most intelligent/aware US citizens are feeling

Because the "issues" are manufactured, that's why they are telling you to wake up.
You must be under the impression the world is a happy go lucky place where nobody cares about their own personal gain and everything is peachy clean.

The irony is whatever issues being presented by our reps are only in the interests of the lobbyists, large corporations, and the corrupt politicians that are bought, hence it really doesn't seem to matter what they say, do, write, or legislate, because 99% is all slanted in their self-interests anyhow.
That is why this man is freaking out and upset, he seems to have a consciousnesses.

You are all sheep.
Most of you have no idea who this dude is, where this is taking place, or what he is even yelling about. And you don't even care. You just think it's great that he is yelling.
You're all ready to take up arms and follow this guy right off a cliff!

So as long as someone is angry...you support them.
If that is being "awake"...I'll pass.
Have fun being manipulated and lying to yourself by saying you are "awake"

Too Late! Everyone was picked long ago they just don't realize it yet.
Dictators are already in, under the auspice of a Republic.

I don't care if he is trying to bring back H.R Pufinstuff - he is as angry as us and that is what matters because it proves that not all politicians are sheep. So it's not us that are sheep buddy, it's them.
If following him over a cliff would be for the greater good...you'd probably be at home watching tv.
