Pelosi says the democrats cannot be on the committee if they do not have equal numbers with Republicans and a co-chair.... It’s not fair.
Throughout Congressional History, the party in majority gets more seats on committees. In this case, it is only a couple more Representatives and the majority party gets to pick an overall Chair.
But it is just POLITICS to say they won’t be allowed to participate fairly.
Now if they sit it out completely, they cannot participate at ALL. How is this MORE fair?
It's every bit as "fair" as when the RATs do it to the Republicans (which is always) That's the way it is designed to work. And the RATs constantly abuse it by being blatantly obstructive.
Now if they sit it out completely, they cannot participate at ALL. How is this MORE fair?
Actually the only way the word "fair" actually enters into the equation, is when it comes to what is fair to the American people...and the surviving family members of those murdered at Benghazi.
So with respect to that, the total absence of the lying, obfuscating, obstructing RATs mucking up the proceedings... It is THE EPITOME OF FAIRNESS!
And for a prime example of the above...find the C-SPAN footage on the Special Committee debate I referenced above, enjoy the Republican floor speeches, and witness as much of the vile RAT-speak as you can stomach.
Once again, cautioning, sharpening your skill with the mute button is of paramount importance.
Republicans can bring back Trent Lott to appease Pelosi on committee fairness.
What did 0bama say, hard to remember....oh yeah : I WON
Guess what Nancy, the Republican won
Actually Boehner nailed that one pretty good, more Republicans in the House more on the committee.
