Republicans staying after work

I'm not sure who to side with on this one. They adjourned by majority vote (which probably included a few Republicans) but one has to admire anyone who stays after to work on something important like energy concerns (if that is what they were doing). That and the Republicans eventually just turned the thing into a big circus.

Politicians? Working overtime like the rest of us? I call bullshit
The motion passed, dipshits. Maybe the Dems were stupid for pushing that through, but that's how your own damn government works. Don't rail against the most basic functioning of your own system for attention.They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m., and they are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess.
Re: Republicans staying after work
I give the Republicans props for staying (the ones that actually did) and trying to reach some resolution, but they did kinda turn it into a circus with the media. I also applaud some of the Democratic aides that stayed. It almost sounds like a majority of Capital Hill did the elementary school act when they heard "recess".

Re: Republicans staying after work
Nothing new, the Democrats did it in the 90's when the Republicans had a majority. I'm sure neither time was it as spontaneous as they would have us believe.

Was it also during an election year?
