No!
Thirteen House Republicans from the Judiciary Committee served as “managers,” the equivalent of prosecutors:
* Chairman Henry Hyde of Illinois
* Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin
* Bill McCollum of Florida
* George Gekas of Pennsylvania
* Charles Canady of Florida
* Steve Buyer of Indiana
* Ed Bryant of Tennessee
* Steve Chabot of Ohio
* Bob Barr of Georgia
* Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas
* Chris Cannon of Utah
* James E. Rogan of California
* Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
From that bunch, I think that James E. Rogan was the one who appealed most to me, and then Asa Hutchinson, but then again later he was for McCain/Feingold, bad!!!
Ping!
Governance by polls is one step removed from democracy, the degenerate form of a republic.
I see you desire to have leaders while I desire to have representatives.
Hmmmm....it isn’t the House of Leaders, is it?
In Allen Boyd you have what you wish. Congrats.
Wrong district.
But McCollum can’t do right in your eyes no matter what.
So why should he even care what you feel about his position? You’ll just find a way and excuse to oppose him anyway.
Not wrong.
Your rep.
I live in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and have recently begun to research the candidates for governor.
I don’t know for sure, but maybe Bill McCollum is not the good guy he appears to be and Rick Scott not the bad guy.
Hundreds of hospitals were targeted and fined in the Clinton smackdown of hospitals including Columbia HCA. They didn’t conform to Hillarycare. I was surprised Duke University Hospital was one. I am an original Memphian, and I couldn’t believe our St. Jude Children hospital in Memphis was another.
When McCollum served as a Florida Representative in Washington, he did several things that torqued my jaws. He helped push NAFTA and GATT along with Bill Clinton. He also sided with Clinton, Reno and the jack-booted Justice Department in the Elian Gonzales affair. As well, I’m not especially pleased with his chameleon stance on illegal immigration.
Take a look at this article posted earlier. It’s a conservative publication, but it’s pretty unbiased.

As it stands right now, I am probably going to vote for Rick Scott.
I believe he’s being railroaded.
Wrong AND a blockhead.
My rep is Kevin Brady.
Obviously you are never wrong until the facts change, right?
Have you seen what the conservative Florida Family Association has to say about Rick Scott?
Here’s the email they sent to me:
Rick Scott’s self assertion as “an across-the-board conservative” is contradicted by his current business practices
Florida Family Association receives several emails every week from the Rick Scott campaign wherein he calls himself “conservative.” Additionally, his web site claims “I’m an across-the-board conservative. I … support traditional marriage.”
However, his business and campaign practices contradict his self appointment as “an across-the-board conservative.”
According to this Politifact.com report Rick Scott, his family partnership and a trust in his wife’s name own 2 million shares in a company called Quepasa Corporation.
According to this Network Solutions report Quepasa Corp. owns the web site Quepasa.com which according to this May 26, 2010 Market Wire report recruits latino women to be porn models for Quepasa Playboy Mexico. Certainly, the hundreds of women who are not selected by Playboy have a heightened interest in making money from porn and are subsequently more likely to be recruit subjects for other hedonistic venues.
Additionally, Quepasa.com includes a section for same-sex partner relationship networking.
This is the CURRENT business investment practices of Rick Scott, his family partnership and a trust in his wife’s name and not something that happened ten years ago. Some political sites have attempted to dilute the issue of Scott’s investment in Quepasa.com by stating that most of the stock is in his family partnership or wife’s trust. However, according to this July 2, 2010 FloridaIndependent.com report the trust of Rick Scott’s wife gave his campaign $2 million.
Therefore, with his wife’s trust spending millions on his campaign their combined stock holdings of Quepasa Corp. is very relevant.
How can Rick Scott call himself “an across-the-board conservative” when he, his family partnership and his wife’s trust profit from a web site that recruits young women into the porn industry?
How can Rick Scott claim with any integrity “I … support traditional marriage” when he, his family partnership and his wife’s trust profit from a web site that encourages homosexual relationships?
Furthermore, according to this Huffington Post report Rick Scott recently hired Ken McKay, the former chief of staff of the Republican National Committee (RNC) who was forced to resign by Chairman Michael Steele, after GOP donors learned the RNC approved the reimbursement of $2,000 worth of food and drinks at the California bondage-sex Club Voyeur during a committee trip.
Rick Scott explained in this The Tampa Tribune report regarding his accepting responsibility for HCA’s overbilling of Medicare that resulted in a $1.7 billion fine to his former company. “You have to remember, I was an Eagle Scout. … I went to church pretty much every Sunday growing up. Those things get ingrained in you. You learn you’ve got to do the right thing every day.”
That is what Rick Scott said just three months ago, not ten years ago.
So Rick Scott must believe that profiting from his investment in a company that lures women into the porn industry and connects same-sex partners for relationships is also something ingrained in him from the Boy Scouts and church as “the right thing to do every day.”
