Hm... term-limiting leadership positions was the 'pubbies original work-around for not term-limiting members of Congress as per the Contract With America. Apparently the CWA is another one of those famous government deals that're binding only so long as they're convenient.

This is outrageous! Hastert is a moderate who needs to move aside for the more conservative House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. We need a more principled Speaker of the House who will stand for conservative Republican principles and not cave to the RATS. This sounds more like the rank in file in the HRC are just happy not to have Newtie as a weapon to be wielded by the RATS to defeat them in the elections.

I see nothing wrong with that. If Daschle had passed the bills Hastert's House sent up to the Senate, we'd be in great shape!

Hastert is elected speaker by his fellow Republicans. DeLay is smart enough not to make himself the lighting rod.

Let's see . . . the dems have

the media
Jesse Jackson
vote fraud
illegal contributions
the new CFR laws

Let's give them Tom DeLay to use against us, too.

We'll show those RATs, by golly! We're not afraid they'll beat us at the polls! We'll beat 'em to it! We'll beat ourselves!
