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
Surely the White House took all of this into account when they decided to push their benefit package for illegal aliens.
I agree that Bush will be facing the most stupid investigations if the Dems get in. I have not been following the Murtha race perhaps he is vunerable too but I dont know.
This is why every House election in 2006 must be made 'national' -- voters must understand that electing even 'moderate' Democrats could well mean that the most radical leftists will take over the Congress entirely. Yes, I know how frustrated most of us are with current Republican leadership, but the solution must be to make the Republicans better, not to turn things over to the depraved likes of Pelosi, Conyers, Dingell, Barney Frank, et al.
