Pelosi had said nixing tax cuts for half-million-dollar earners "might be more important to the American people than ignoring the educational and health needs of America's children."

Tax hikes "for the children"! What a magnificent idea!

I don't trust ANY politician claiming their policies are "for the children". They almost always do much more harm to "the children" than good.

When Nancy Pelosi has an easier time keeping Republicans under control than Democrats, you know there's something messed up about our party.

>But Rangel, whose committee handles tax policy, dismissed Pelosi's idea as unlikely to happen, since the speaker didn't bother to vet it with him in advance. <

Touchy little fella, isn't he?

[Argus]

Rangel, who took over the powerful Ways and Means Committee after 36 years in Congress, smacked down the idea Pelosi raised on Sunday of repealing tax cuts for those earning more than $500,000 per year.

Charlie Rangel, supply sider!

[Racehorse]

Rangel is a strange breed of liberal Democratic cat. With respect to taxes

From the article:

In another swat at Pelosi, Rangel sided with Republican lawmakers by opposing his leadership's high-profile push to jam through legislation in the first 100 hours of Democratic rule.

Pelosi decreed that none of the early legislation would go through the normal committee process, hoping to keep her party in lockstep to enact key agenda items and boost her own and the party's national image.

"I don't think the chairman [Rangel] likes the idea that there were no hearings on a lot of the bills that were coming up in the 100 hours," said the Democratic lawmaker.

Sources say Rangel went to Pelosi urging that his committee be allowed to review legislation allowing the feds to negotiate with drug companies over prices and taking away tax breaks for big oil companies - but she refused.

Rangel got around her by setting up closed-door committee forums that were essentially hearings anyway.

Yesterday, the Republican and Democratic committee members met with health experts on the drug bill, and an energy meeting is set for next week.

"Saying it to me in private is far more important than whatever she says nationally," he huffed, referring to her weekend TV appearance.

So he's essentially calling her a liar???? Cool!

is this another example of the "men are evil and we don't need them" attitude promoted by the looney left? shove bills through congress with minimal review... nice enlightened approach to legislation.

just once i would like to see congress spend the first 3 months CUTTING existing laws, returning freedoms the laws had taken away.

Only covered by the NY Post and IBD. Nothing on the broadcast News channels, or the N Y Times or Washington Post. So very, very few people know about this feud. Once again, the MSM is covering for the Democrats.

[MaxMax]

Pelosi is arguing with a Black man? Why, thats outragous!
Clearly she must be a racist.

If it came down to arguments, Rangel would wipe the floor with Pelosi imo.
Other then that, I'm enjoying the infighting. /LMAO

The Democrats are trying to make 2008 the year that the women take over politics, we should make it the year that the real men take back politics. I'm tired of the touchy-feely metro sexuals, I want men who know how to fight for their families and country and I'd like to see some of them in Congress.
