Yes Virginia, liberals would take over if Democrats win House

WASHINGTON – If the chips fall right for Democrats and their party seizes control of the House, President Bush's agenda on Capitol Hill would fall into the hands of some of his most dogged opponents.

It's not just would-be Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, but a boatload of Democrats newly running committees who would determine what legislation gets debated and which programs and agencies get scrutiny.

So who are the chairmen to be?

a Polish-American lawyer with a reputation for making witnesses quiver.

a die-hard liberal from New York's Harlem with 35 years in the House.

a free-spending progressive from Wausau, Wis.

one of the few remaining “Watergate babies” swept into Congress in 1974.

Snip...

Black lawmakers would run major committees.

Besides Rangel, there is Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, in line for the top spot on the Judiciary Committee; Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi on the Homeland Security Committee; and Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida at the Intelligence Committee.

Conyers has been accused by former aides of misusing his office by turning them into baby sitters for his children. He is the prime sponsor of a resolution that seeks to investigate grounds for possible impeachment of Bush over the war in Iraq.

[Rose Siding]

2. "free spending progressive"....What's the GOP's deficit at again?

LOFL :grr:

[PCIntern]

3. WTF kind of AP article is this...?

you can hear the sneering bias...and I'm no paranoid. I'm surprised that the writer didn't elaborate on Alcee Hastings' history.

It's gonna be a long election season...

[dsc]

9. He did

second to last paragraph.

[Totally Committed]

4. This is Racist Republican code to get all the

"angry White men" out there and voting. Unbelieveable. This just shows how terrified they are right now. Too bad this sort of sh*t has worked so well for them in the past.

5. "Boatload" implying "immigrants" which now means "illegal."

My, my what a nice piece of racist propaganda.

Someone should definitely save it to teach in a lesson on Media Distortion.

[MockSwede]

12. Immigrant definition

Immigrant CERTAINLY doesn't mean LEGAL!

ILLEGAL ALIENS that's the term.

Get rid of them. NOW.

Get here legally like my relatives did; not by getting 'amnesty' after the fact of breaking the law.

[GRLMGC]

18. And how would you go about doing that?

Asking every Mexican looking person for his or her papers?

[sutz12]

6. Gotta love that liberal media bias, eh?

8. wow unbelieveable

watergate babies was the least offensive thing said. AP has gone off the deepend and I have no clue why.

[Vickers]

10. *breathes deeply* You smell that? That's the smell of fear, boys.

And it's gonna get worse and worse.

[fedupinBushcountry]

11. This is the most

biased racist piece I have ever seen. This article needs to be sent to someone or to every Democrat in Congress,and other groups who can deal with this outright hateful article.

Enough is Enough.

[Cocoa]

13. this is about Rove's "Conyers" strategy

they are clearly going to run on the fear of a Conyers planet. Watch for some ugly ads featuring Conyers's blackness.

[PCIntern]

14. Is Conyers black?

I hadn't noticed...

Reminds me of the sequence in Lethal Weapon 2 where Danny Glover goes to the S. African embassy to emigrate to that country. The guy behind the desk says..."But, but...you're black." And Glover's character replies, "I am?" or words to that effect...

i tell my daughter that I'm old enough to remember Colored water fountains in the South and when my mother, trying to relocate us many years ago, asked if an apartment manager rented to Jews, since we were, the reply was "Of course not, You'll be fine here." We've come a long way and yet not so far...

I would give anything to watch these rednecks squirm like those Klan guys in the Porky's movie...

[faithnotgreed]

19. a conyers planet ?

wow
do i love the sound of that

how do i get there?





this is truly a wtf racist vile hit piece which could have been written by the rnc
hmmm

[primative1]

15. Ah the AP ...

They can hide it no more. They have been outed for what they are, another obvious liberal biased media outlet.

[DeepModem Mom]

16. I would expect this on a handbill in the 2000 SC primary against McCain...

instead of in an AP article. Shame!

[Joe Bacon]

17. Göebbels never had it so good

Another pack of GOPropaganda from the ASSociated Presstitutes.
