If Democrats Win

Here's a snapshot of who will be in charge in Washington if Democrats win in November according to Investor's Business Daily.

We'll start with the excerpt about Obey:

David Obey of Wisconsin, whom the Almanac of American Politics describes as "a true believer in traditional liberalism, Keynesian economics and economic redistribution," is likely to return as chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. At a post-9-11 Oval Office meeting, he is said to have told Bush to leave Congress' big spenders alone because they're such experts on legislation.

Yep, a true liberal who believes in economic redistribution and wants to spend our money like it's going out of style.

But it's even worse than putting Obey in charge of anything, look at his Democrat colleagues . . .

Rep. John Conyers at Judiciary . . . A founder of the Congressional Black Caucus, he used the '60s riots in his district of Detroit as a pretext to call for government-guaranteed income, and he opposed President Johnson on Vietnam as soon as he entered Congress in 1965.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi from San Francisco would be Speaker, Rep. George Miller, also from a liberal area in California would be the Education Chairman, Rep. Henry Waxman (he's from California too) would Chair the Government Reform Committee, which means he would be calling Administration officials up to the Hill twice a week to testify merely for political purposes, and it doesn't get any better from there . . .

As the article says,

In short, a Democrat-controlled House in 2007 won't look anything like those run by Tip O'Neill and Tom Foley in the past. It would a radicalized, emboldened bunch out for blood — that of George W. Bush.

We can help reduce the chances that there will be a radically liberal House of Representatives by saying enough is enough and sending Dave Obey into his cushy, taxpayer-funded penion, retirement.
