Being from Michigan I can tell you we are screwed with these picks.
Upton will f**k us. The only question is; “at what point?” But then you knew that when you appointed him, didn’t you Johnny boy?
only takes one RINO.
for sure the Dems will be lockstep.
we the people be screwed, again
Pat Toomey is a great pick.
Pathetic,what’s Upton going to do,suggest using mercury bulbs to balance the budget?
WTF!
No Ryan???
Retaliation against the Tea Party.
Boehner is a bonehead! Upton is the architect of the lightbulb ban! RINO will cave!
SO, just Pelosi left. I don’t envy her job, she has to figure out how to represent 10 special interest groups with only three picks.
And yet you wonder why the Progressive Left kicks your political butt time after time
No matter how ‘conservative’ the Republican members are, this committee is designed to end up offering congress a Hobson’s Choice of raising taxes or slashing the defense budget. It also allows the RINO Speaker, John Boehner, and RINO members of congress to escape accountability for wanting to do both. They can all ‘blame’ the committee and raise our taxes or make deep cuts in the DOD budget. Both options are anathema to TEA Party members so the committee is an end-run around them, although any bill raising taxes will probably not make it through the House. The whole thing is just another Washington dog & pony show, designed to keep the spending scam going while protecting congressional politicians lifetime jobs.
We’re screwed no matter what.
I wish I had a career where I could simply ‘appoint’ a blue-ribbon panel to take care of the undesireable parts of the job. And the customers end up paying the bill!
Amazing that they get away with it.
I’m surprised he didn’t pick Senator John McCain to stand between the leftists and the military budget.
UPTON? The light bulb banner? We are so screwed! Oh and by the way, Fred Upton, I have about 10K 100 watt bulbs... come find them.
No Paul Ryan and no House Freshmen were chosen.
Boehner is saying “screw you” to Tea Party conservatives.
You know the bias when you read their bios. You have no idea of what is motivating the statements posted. It is seriously foolish to let nameless faceless posters on the ‘net tell you what to think about anything or anyone.
Bonehead is taking a page out of Zippys,Executive order handbook is all! He can’t go soon enough come on 2012! and who ever selected this WORM needs the boot as well.
Isn’t Upton the guy who killed the light bulb?
What is with Boehner’s hard-on for Upton? It should have been Paul Ryan.
