Good picks all! To bad the committee is unconstitutional!

[Captain Peter Blood]

Not familiar with any of these people. They RINO’S or a mixture?????????

[ohiobuckeye1997]

Upton is the RINO pos behind the light bulb ban... we be screwed

[Psalm 144]

Hensarling.

Oooooooh!

Hensarling in the Royal Congress. Wow.

[cripplecreek]

Thank God the EPA is still safe. [/sarc]

[IamConservative]

Looks like Texas and Michigan have representation. What about the citizens from the other 48 states?

Trust me, you'll get equally screwed.

Members in good standing of the ruling class.

Prior to his election to Congress, Fred worked for President Ronald Reagan in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). While at OMB, he learned from President Reagan’s example that it does not matter who gets the credit, as long as the job gets done.

Is a political statement made against Paul Ryan? Why isn’t Ryan on this committee? He’s been the Republican point man on budget issues, and has taken a lot of incoming fire from the liberal side.

[Logic n' Reason]

I believe bone-er has followed thru on his rino tradition.

Why did he not pick P. Ryan to be on the committee??

Or a few other tparty-ers??

Oh...that's right. Tparty-ers are not rinos.

[CPT Clay]

Off topic, but have you seen Upton’s daughter or is she his niece?

[jessduntno]

“Is a political statement made against Paul Ryan?”

He hasn’t learned to don the RINO regalia yet.

The Grand Old Potty has it’s standards.

[NormsRevenge]

.. it does not matter who gets the credit, as long as the job gets done economy tanks.

[I cannot think of a name]

“Is a political statement made against Paul Ryan? Why isn’t Ryan on this committee? He’s been the Republican point man on budget issues, and has taken a lot of incoming fire from the liberal side.”

Possibly, but it could also be protection.

This is an ABSOLUTELY no win position. The members will be slagged across the political spectrum, and when they finish, the best that will emerge is a camel (and an ugly one at that).

I can't imagine anyone that thinks they have a bigger future ahead of them wanting to be mixed up with this losing proposition,

[cripplecreek]

I don’t know anything about her.
