Is this the same Upton that wants everyone to give up incandescent light bulbs?

The same.
And the GOP will again wonder WHY the voters won’t trust them.

The same — though NOW he’s saying he’s going to lead an effort to OVERTURN that very ban the HE sponsored and shepherded through Congress....RIGHT....
To: patriot preacher
My understanding is that Barton said he would work to overturn the ban, and Upton said he’d form a panel to “look into it.”

That’s what I thought, but I wanted to be sure.
DOWN WITH UPTON. Challenge the position!

GOP hasn’t gotten the message that status quo is not the way to go. Primaries are gonna be a bitch in 2012...

The only reason these fools make such foolish decisions in the first place is lobbyist money and lots of it. Now he's singing a different tune because he's running for a chairmanship.

Boehner is trying to install the wheelers and dealers right back into the places where they can do the most damage.

I guess the Republican elites didn’t get the memo. Oh well. We can kick their @$$e$ in ‘12 the way we did the dems this past fall.
Hey, elites, read the tea leaves.

Reform of the DC regime is a fool’s errand. The longer it takes us to figure that out the greater the destruction will be.
