Democrats stacked Bridgegate panel

Instead of getting to the truth of the Bridgegate affair, the new Legislative Select Committee on Investigation is looking more likely to obscure or distort the facts.

But the Democratic majority structured the committee in ways guaranteed to cast doubt on its findings. Moreover, it has no mechanism for public input, no ceiling on costs and no limits on its scope or methods.

For starters: With eight Democrats and four Republicans, the group’s extreme partisan imbalance undercuts any sense of shared purpose. Such a brazenly stacked deck sets the stage for unproductive bickering instead of thoughtful debate. The lack of a truly deliberative process is sure to cast doubt on any findings that seem to serve the interests of a political party over those of the public.

When one of my colleagues introduced amendments that addressed such flaws, Wisniewski moved to table the amendments without even bothering to read them.

RATS have a real problem reading things.

The problem with Republican politicians is that they act as if democrats are fair and honorable. They are not! They never learn.

Have you ever watched a democrat in a poker game? Do so. You will see how they believe it is okay to cheat as long as they do not get caught.

I’d like to ask Speaker Boner how the Benghazi Panel is coming along.

They are learning a lot from Chicago type politics.

[DoodleDawg]

It’s a politically inspired investigation. What did you expect them to do?

[Jumper]

In every possible instance, the democrats (socialists) try to completely control both the debate and the message. If they lose, they just write books to replace the existing texts, in America.

The politics used against Palin in Alaska are the new normal.
