Fred Upton...total RINO

Hensarling...Boehner chose Hensarling over a true conservative, DeMint to chair the Republican Conference

And a Michigan republican who is a member of the moderate Republican Main Street Partnership, who will be as useless as boobies on a male swine.

[NoGrayZone]

Damn, I guess this seals the deal that we are now royally %^&ked!

[Tex-Con-Man]

Upton is an appropriator/negotiator who will protect all their phony baloney jobs....I didn't get a harumph outta that guy.

[RatRipper]

Ahhhh . . . the House members of the Republican Cave In Committee . . .

Two from Michigan and no Tea Party representation . . . bend over folks . . . you are about to be screwed

[Freddd]

Did anyone think this ‘committee’ was being set up to be effective?

Or just another show...to ‘appear’ to be doing something of good on our behalf of course...of course.
