I thought the DOJ Plame investigation banned most republicans for five years from Committees………………………

Oh, I’ve been keeping my out for the this campaign. They’re going to race-bait and gay-bait with it in the furthest reaches of the VRWC. And they’re going to try to scare good moderates away from supporting candidates in close districts, to prevent us from picking up the house.

I just think we ought to use that. Our returning chairs look a damn site better than the corrupt weasels they’ve got running committees. And they got things done.

These are the people who wanted to impeach Clinton. They are for unrestricted business, really big business such as the oil companies and the so-called â€defense†contractors. They want no government interference and, if that results in chaos or destruction of our liberties or the demise of the earth as we know it because of global warming, too bad. They are very old fashioned. Dow Jones has been having some financial problems lately; perhaps it’s because they are so out of step with the rest of the world and they run an old fashioned enterprise while the world around them has changed. They believe in a â€free marketâ€, even if that means one or two major oil companies dominating our economy; no taxes, even if it means immense debt and ultimate devaluation of our country’s net worth as we issue bonds. Truth to tell, those who write such drivel are probably like the so-called â€liberal†journalists and are their real life counterparts; they have few personal assets, think in their heads that they’re like the owners of their enterprise, but in reality have nothing except their wages and debts and therefore have no connection to the philosophies they write about. Those people who are angry can latch on to the tone and topics of the WSJ editorials, just as they latch on to the Limbaugh’s of the world, as an outlet for their frustration and anger. If one person were to symbolize the WSJ editorial stance, it is Cheney.

This is like the progressive side wailing about potential fascist judges — just noise to the few among our citizens who have not already settled into their opinions. Most Americans don’t know that Congress has committees.
