I would prefer to look at Stony Hoyer from MD than Pelosi...
Maybe McCain seemed so upbeat at the end of his campaign because he knew he was going to lose.
Guess it's some of that Change.
Well the IQ level of the Senate leadership would go up...course I think she prefers a seat on the Supreme Court.
Hey,...Baseball Season is over and this is a fun spectator sport.
That number means nothing when 90+% of the get reelected every two years. People say they hate Congress but they continue to vote the same bums back into office. Dingle and Waxman are perfect examples.
Excuse me for my ignorance. I am not familiar with these two individuals. Regarding energy, which of the two is more clueless?
LOL..it looks like the mask of an ugly man on top of a picture of a hideous man!
The hard leftists in the Dem party think this is their victory and now they want all the spoils. BTW, implementing Obama’s idiotic energy/global warming policies will drive gasoline prices to ten dollars a gallon. Let’s see how the stupid American voters like their change and hope then.
See the thread linked at post #10 for heavy discussion on the two...apparently Dingell is responding to Waxman on the air Waves....ROFL!
Dingell has been trying for several years to "pass" a bill that would bust everyone right in the chops with carbon taxes. Everytime he introduces it, most Democrats scatter like he has the plague.
He's smart enough to know that massive carbon taxes would crush the auto industry, and his millions of union buddys. When some Democrats see the cost of this bill - in lost taxes, in lost wages, in layoffs, in lost union support - they look the other way, and he can't get it out of committee. Even some Democrats look at the pain this would cause, and flinch.
Which is exactly the point Dingell is making. There are VERY REAL costs associated with this war on carbon, and my district will bear them as much as anywhere.
Nancy hates him for exposing this. The bill has never made it out of committee. I would bet on Dingell to keep his chairmanship, except that...
1. It's actually Dingell vs. Waxman AND Pelosi.
2. Dingell is old - mid '80's, like He isn't likely to live through the Obama tenure in the White House.

Oh, that will make them even more popular. An economy in recession, a nation at war, and the Congress goes off on a Soviet style witch hunt against the previous office holders. Do the Dems not realize that Obama being elected doesn't change their 9% approval rating any?
The next couple of years will be spent having massive Stalin-style show trials for members of the outgoing administration.
Heh... that’s a keeper.
There is not enough lipstick on this earth....
