Roy is my congressman. He is outstanding and is definitely a conservative. He is a Reagan republican. Excellent choice.

No offense to REAL Kalifornia Republicans, but I trust a Kalifornia Republican like I trust a North Eastern Republican.

Keep Roy, and forget about Drier.

I hope he goes after Earl with a "Blunt" instrument.

Good, then maybe we might get some spending cuts and budget reform after all?

I'm relieved, due to the rumors about Drier, we don't need another embarassment like with Bob Livingstone.

did you read redstate.org today? He has met with and is reported to be "warming" to operation offset.

I hope he follows through.

Well Blunt gets an overall 94 from the ACU so maybe that will shut up some of the whiners on FR.

Oh wait, according to the malcontents here, unless the person as a 100% rating, then they're a RINO.

Good strong chin, direct eyes, decisive nose.

Looks good, I just read about Drier and he sounds horrible.

Blunt sounds as good as his name.

I doubt whether the Dems had anitcipated this move. They will probably will regret it.

Roy is a stright up guy.

This from CNN:
House Speaker Dennis Hastert planned to recommend that California Rep. David Dreier and Missouri Rep. Roy Blunt, the GOP whip, temporarily split DeLay's duties without getting his official title, a senior GOP leadership aide told CNN. Republicans could vote Wednesday on the recommendation.

Did you see this? Guess Drier didn't survive having his name floated ...

Blunt seems like a steady and reliable fellow. Good deal!

"There are rumors that he is gay."

If so, that would be shocking.

He is gay, AND from Kalifornia? No Way!
