You are from Missouri, are you in Blunt's corner over Shadegg because of a 'home team' preference.
Here is what I heard Major Garrett say on Laura INgraham this am and IMHO it makes sense: The new GOP leadership has to remove all vestiges of the Tom Delay 'regime' to get back on an ethical track.
1. Boehner will survive because he's been in only since January. He had butted heads against delay back in 1998 and was kicked out of leadership back then because of it.
2. Blunt was a Delay protege. Blunt refused to bend on earmarks in January when it was time to seriously reform it.
Shadegg was ahead of the curve and Shadegg is all about getting back to conservative principles and issues.
Excuse me. I am just a little bit slow and need help at times.
Kerry's wife cleans her own toilet bowls?
Hillary cleans hers?
Pelosi washes dishes and does windows?
Only repubs hire illegal labor?
Only repubs are rich, evil and avoid hard work?
Matters not.
It is the law that employees paid over a certain amount must have taxes withheld.
If you call them an independent contractor and therefore not an employee subject to withholding, you have to file a 1099 and I believe that you are supposed to get a W-9 from them.
In any case, could you be telling us that only repubs hire these people?
If there are that many repubs, we should win all of the elections!!
I demand a recount!
Nobody needs to round em up and herd em out.
Simply build a wall to help prevent further transgressions and then put the torch under employers and landlords. - See how simple that is? Frightening!
Several communities are passing such measures, as are some states.
make it illegal to hire the illegal and they will not stay
They will leave and either try to return legally or they just might - gasp, shock - work to change Mexico, instead of changing America into Mexico.
Republicans worked very hard the first couple of days after the election to alienate the conservatives who do their own housework. This is a Mrs. Joe Sixpack issue and goes completely under the radar. It's not just housework--it's the landscaping and construction. The Sixpacks are middle-class and are watching their wages being driven down, their neighborhoods changing overnight, their schools being turned into ESL waystations.
And they watch the golf-club Republicans and with what condescending affection they treat their servant class.
It's a rich man's privilege and a poor man's fight.
Don't have to. Just aggressively enforce the workplace laws. Once hiring illegals becomes bad business, illegals won't get hired and will deport themselves.
Yeah, and Our good'ol boy, country club, Rockafeller wannabe Rino's in this state kept him in power.
Lott should feel privaledged to be there in the company of the other Republicans. He out to be bowing down to them.
Did you know McCain's grandfather came from Mississippi and Lott's relatives and McCain's relatives weren't that far separated (geographic distance wise)? Hmmm.... Makes you wonder.
because he doesnt listen to people. he is not a consensus builder.
Yes and no.
It is true I am from SW Missouri and Congressman Blunt is my representative.
It is also true, though, that Roy is a very effective whip. He does his job very well.
If we were honestly concerned about our leadership we whould be booting Boehner for Pence and keeping Blunt.
I hope the fact that Boehner had to saber rattle another congressman to drop out of the minority leader race will backfire on him.
Boehner is not a leader. Period. The 109th congress proved it.

From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
"That's why I find Mike Pence's past support for the so-called Pence immigration compromise so troubling. It's not that I demand perfect ideological orthodoxy from would-be leaders - far from it. But looking back on that strange episode I worry about something else: Pence got suckered."
BINGO BUMP!
Votes is today for minority leader. Last chance to contact you congressperson to state who you support.
