12 Reasons to vote Democratic in 2010
Edited on Mon Sep-06-10 07:08 PM by rpannier
The following 12 Senate Committees and their likely Chairpersons

1. Judiciary - Jeff Sessions (Republican Ranking Member)
2. Armed Services - Lindsay Graham (Ranking Member)
3. Intelligence - Hatch, Snowe or Chambliss (Bond is the ranking member)
4. Finance - Charles Grassley (Ranking Member)
5. Foreign Relations - Richard Lugar (Ranking Member)
6. Appropriations - Thad Cochran (Ranking Member)
7. Environment and Public Works - James Inhofe (Ranking Member)
8. Energy and Natural Resources - Burr or Barasso (Ranking Member is Murkowski)
9. Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs - Richard Shelby (Ranking Member)
10. Commerce, Science and Transportation - Kay Bailey Hutchinson (Ranking Member) Possibly Jim DeMint
11. Homeland Security - Susan Collins (Ranking Member)
12. Health, Education, Labor and Pensions - Mike Enzi (Ranking Member)

These are the people who will most likely be the Chairpersons in the Senate if we lose control.

Except for possibly Lugar, I can't think of any less qualified people to be in positions of real power than the above mentioned.*

It would be nice to have the luxury of being able to show how displeased we are by getting rid of each and everyone of the Democrats in the Senate we don't like.
If the Republican Party was the Party that brought us Hiram Johnson, Robert M. La Follette Sr and Earl Warren I would agree.

* - People who have the ability to get real power in 2010 (Palin, Jeb Bushie and Newt aren't running for office)
