Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Tuesday he's naming Sen. Patty Murray to co-chair a powerful "super committee" charged with finding more than $1 trillion in deficit cuts this fall.
Murray will be joined by Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Max Baucus, D-Mont., on the panel, which was established last week by hard-fought legislation to increase the national debt.
Murray, who is chairwoman of the committee to elect Democratic senators, is a longtime protector of Democratic priorities such as Medicare, Social Security and veterans' benefits, as are Kerry and Baucus.
Reid, D-Nev., said in a statement that Murray has "a depth of knowledge on budget issues and demonstrated her ability to work across party lines."
*Snip"
Oregon and Washington *ping*
Ah...three of the most liberal senators. Including “Brain Dead” Murray, arguably the dumbest member of a rather stupid collection of people.
I suspect we’ll appoint ‘centrists’, and get something so far left that even the democrats will be shocked.
Murray must have drawn the short straw and had to put on the knee pads for old Harry (Puke Gag—but not all that implausible)
I think she’s a reliable party line idiot.
No doubt now that Harry’s got his starters into the lineup, ol’ Mitch is bending over to Harry, passing his list to Harry to get Harry’s approval first.
ALRIGHT!.....I can’t wait to see the Usama Mama in action.
Patty as co-chair, that must frost Kerry’s butt.
What could the dumbest member of congress possibly ad to ANY type of committee?
THE DIE IS CAST WITH THESE APPOINTMENTS.
The best the Republicans can hope for is gridlock and let the guillotine fall.
THE FARCE HAS BEGUN.
Murray,Kerry,Baucus.
soon to be added IMO, Chuck the Schmuck, Steny the Hoyer, and for good measure a token black probably Maxine Waters.
And on the Republican side 6 RINO’s of dubious Conservative status including Mccain, Hatch, and Graham,
We are in for it folks. Stand by for the ram.
I hve already written one note to my representative and to the one repub senator stating my displeasure with the vote.
Now I intend to write the both of them a letter explaining that I did not vote for them expecting them to turn important business over to the likes of Kerry, Murry and Baucus.
I expected them to represent me in matters of importance.
I am not likely to contribute nor to vote again for them unless they do something to get control of this situation.
Which I will make clear.
Harry has also chartered a short bus for transporting the “super committee” around DC.
Senator Patty Murray. Senator Patty Murray. Senator Patty Murray. Senator Patty Murray. Senator Patty Murray.
No matter how many times you say it, it just does not seem real.
I'm not seeing any light at the end of this tunnel!
Where is the outrage?? If the Founder's had intended there to be a super-duper panel (to supercede what We the People want) then they would've put it in place themselves!!
Naturally the panic starts around here.
Actually, this is funny. These are two of the biggest nutbags around and won’t accomplish anything for the RATs.
The three worse Republican Senators tops these three any day.
And that includes McCain, Miss Lindsey and Mark Kirk.
But panic is so popular.
Kerry and Murray are terrible choices. Baucus? Maybe not.
.
I see this as total fail! Putting these socialist moonbats on the comittee just puts them ever closer to third rail. Ha!
