This is a losing proposition. If they are kicked out, the dems control the committees and the legislation that comes to the floor. In addition, the dems can then conduct "investigations" of the President.

The proper way to go about this is to mount opposition in the primaries against those who participated in this.

I stated at the very beginning that this is a radical idea!

You conccerns are understandable. However, what these craven excuses for Republicans have done is to give the dems de facto control!

Re: Investigations: Did the republican majority prevent any of the dems fishing expeditions regarding 9/11 etc??? Or, did the Republican MINNO allow the dems to protect thier own & smear the President, his cabinet, etc...?

By waiting until the primaries, we simply maintain the status quo for the next two years (at least) - meaning we have the illusion of control, nothing more. Furthermore, unless our outrage is directed specifically to the RNC against McCain & Co NOW - a majority of the base will forgive and forget - result?? McCain is either still a Senator or possibly a candidate for President.

I prefer to kick them now and let the chips fall where they may.

Besides, RR did not have a majority in either house but still managed to kick butt and take names.
