    Culberson's sway over Metro plans may be diluted A Lampson appointment to key House panel could affect rail project Last throws U.S. Rep. John Culberson easily won re-election, but his party lost the House, which means the Houston Republican could lose some of the committee influence that has made him a force to be reckoned with in Metro's transit plans. But local House Democrats said it is virtually certain Culberson will keep his seat on a subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee that authorizes transit funds and will continue to have a strong say on projects in his district. His...

    NEW YORK - A musician who wrote the 1970s pop tunes "Still the One" and "Dance with Me" toppled a longtime Republican lawmaker after a campaign that merged his minor-league celebrity with anti- Iraq war momentum and YouTube. John Hall, who founded the band Orleans and produced albums for Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt, ousted Rep. Sue Kelly, who swept into office as part of the 1994 GOP revolution. "When I make a record, it's 110 percent, when I run for office, it's 110 percent," Hall said. On his nightly Comedy Central show, TV faux-news anchor Stephen Colbert...

    Stop The ACLU ^ | 8-Nov-06 | John Stephenson
    So, America voted for change? They should be careful what they ask for because they will get it. For those that voted or stayed home in order to send the Republicans a message on election day...congratulations! Your all important "lesson" will now backfire in your face. You just cut off your nose to spite your face. Not only have you helped to give both Houses over to the left, put Nancy Pelosi in as the Speaker of the House, and completely destroyed any chance of getting a Constitutionalist majority in the Supreme Court, but groups like the ACLU seem to...

    AUSTIN — Savoring his re-election victory, Republican Gov. Rick Perry pledged today to work with lawmakers from both political parties as he pushes to secure the border, create jobs and improve schools. And although he said he's proud to be governor and that it's "the best job in the world," he wouldn't commit to completing the four-year term he just won. "That's kind of up to the good Lord. He may decide he wants me doing something different and I'm out of here tomorrow. Who knows?" Perry said. "I plan on being here working, making a difference." Perry said he...

    In a weird way, the Democrat victories in the House and Senate yesterday were a good thing in the long run. Yeah, it's hard to see it now but already we see the beginnings of the big Democrat crackup as the loonies start elbowing their way around and come up against the professional Democrats. Such is the case that we see here in this DUmmie THREAD demanding to "IMPEACH BUSH!" When they find out that the impeachment process won't be happening RIGHT AWAY the DUmmies will screech about betrayal thus tearing the Democrats apart even more. Simultaneously we will...
