The “voting” is a small part of the the “Barney” problem.
His succesor will NOT have the influence on the committees to introduce the damning financial legislation.

After years..Barney doesn’t like being in the minority. He has decided to cash in his chips and become a well paid lobbyist. He won’t go away.

Since this is an “orientation” topic and not a “race” topic,
I’ll take that bet.
Under for 10,000 FRD (my made-up “currency”).

his successor I would strongly suspect will vote exactly as Barney would.
Jamie Dupree announced on Boortz that Maxine Waters will replace him on the “whatever” committee... I don’t even think the ethics investigation on her is completed!! But it really doesn’t matter to dems, does it???
To: Theodore R.
This will make no difference: his successor I would strongly suspect will vote exactly as Barney would.Bingo. Sad, but true. It comes with the territory. All the lying congress icons of years ago were always replaced by new lying congress scumbags. Still, it will be a pleasure not to have to see or hear Captain Uranus anymore.

I wonder if there is some scandal brewing. He is too arrogant to just leave so methinks there might be...well...?? I guess we will just have to see. I haven’t heard of anything happening so who knows. Perhaps his past is going to bite him in the a$$.
I wonder if he will take his paid boytoys with him. It sickened me to see his one night stands/male prostitutes become govt employeese and personal employees. And how did he stay out of trouble for one of them running a whorehouse out of his house again?
He is the worst of the worst.
To: LRoggy
He’s decided there’s more future in coaching little boys.

That is my first thought as well. There is more to his quitting than meets the eye, now. I think knowing his days are numbered, is the reason he is bowing out. Queer isn’t it?

Yeh he probably knows he’s going to end up getting indicted for the Fannie Freddie mess. Let us pray.
