I heard a Democrat saying this today on MSNBC, of all places; this guy is anti-war and he's one of Nancy's boys. The guy said he will be a LOT more outspoken about the war and the CIA than Jane would have been.
Of course, we all know he won't criticize the CIA, per se; it's all going to be about George W. Bush. After all, they only have two years to try to finish him off.
The Dems entire purpose is indeed to keep attacking President BUsh to weaken the Republicans, to set themselves up for a win in 2008, they don't care what it does to the country.
They think the vicious antiwar stance won them Congress in 2006, so they will continue it and become even more shrill -- watch for hearings after hearings for the next two years.
Many people warned this will happen if the Dems take over and they were right.
Yeppers...Nancy managed to find a person to accomplish 2 things...
One...to get Jane Harman out..(Nancy is not to be denied being the 'main woman' in the House)..
And....to get an anti-war member to run the Intel Committee...which WILL make Pres. Bush's life heck the next couple of years.
Heaven help our country if there is intel that tells us we have to pre-empt a strike by Iran or North Korea...I am SURE that Reyes will be AlL aboard...NOT.
One of Texas's set aside minority districts. Reyes has been there 10 yrs, 2yrs military [66-68], 26 yrs Border Patrol and also serves on the Armed Services and Veterans Committees. He'll be a thorn in the President's neck is my guess.
