If this frighten the heck out of folks, I don't know what will. If you are represented by Bennie Thompson in Mississippi at least you're in a position to mitigate the possible damage. All Republicans can vote in the Dem primary where Chuck Espy is trying to upset Congresman Bennie Thompson in the Dem primary. There will be no Republican Primary vote that day for that race since there is only one Republican running. Having Thompson as head of the Homeland Security committee is not something I don't wish to contemplate. Epsy will make a 100 percent better Congressman than Thompson if Epsy is finally elected.

It gets worse -

Barney Frank would chair the House Financial Services Committee
Maxine Waters would chair the Financial Institutions Subcommittee
John Murtha would chair the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee
Pete Stark would chair the Health Subcommitte of Ways and Means, which oversees Medicaid

If the chips fall right for Democrats and their party seizes control of the House, President Bush's agenda on Capitol Hill would fall into the hands of some of his most dogged opponents.

If this (doesn't) frighten the heck out of folks, I don't know what will.

It better scare GWB, if the Dems gain control of the House I don't think there is any question about it, if it is at all possible, the Dems will be impeach him.

But GWB would rather listen to, and appease the illegals than listen to his voters, secure the border and elect Republicans.

Why can't we secure our borders NOW?

When I was a young fella back in Greenville, Ms. and in the 40's my daddy told me 'son, there are three things, no, four things in life you must never do. 1. Never trust a used car salesman with the name of 'Big Hearted Eddie', 2. Never stay in a motel with 'vacancy' paint on the side wall. 3. Never move to a town you can't spell 4. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER trust a politician.

If Democrats win the House...

John Conyers will take over the Judiciary Committee and he has promised to launch impeachment hearings.

The mere thought of the Democrat Freakshow seizing control is enough to give the American people a critical case of the willies.

So "punishing" the Republicans by voting donk or sitting this one out may not be a really great idea after all.

If Democrats and their party seize control of the House, President Bush's agenda on Capitol Hill would fall into the hands of some of his most dogged opponents: clockwise from left, Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., 79, a Polish-American lawyer with a reputation for making witnesses quiver and the once and maybe future chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee; Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., a die-hard liberal from New York's Harlem with 35 years in the House poised to grab the helm of the Ways and Means Committee, which has a sweeping portfolio... taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare and welfare; Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., one of the few remaining 'Watergate babies' swept into Congress in 1974, who is in line to head the Education and the Workforce Committee; and Rep. David Obey, D-Wisc., the unapologetic liberal from Wisconsin, who is eager to retake the gavel of the powerful Appropriations Committee, which holds the reins on government spending. (AP Photo/Files)

Amazing. He's not the least bit concerned. Perhaps he'll realize before it is too late that you can't go to the hardware store and expect to buy bread.
