1. K&R- Good taste and good sense, Nancy - I alkways liked her....nt

2. And we wonder why our government is a joke...

Seriously? Do these people really think people give a shit either way who sits with who?

What a bunch of self involved, solipsistic, insulated twits these people are.

I like Nancy but honestly anyone at that level of government, engaging in this whole high school level bullshit just needs a serious reality check.

3. Next we will have arranged inter-party marrages. Every Democrat must be married to a Republican...

and vise versa...

4. Actually I think Freshmen congressmen are assigned a "mentor" from their own party and one from the

opposition party.

5. Roscoe Bartlett is a member of the "Tea Party Caucus". She could have made a better choice.

6. Thats funny! Bartlett's my rep, Dems don't bother to challenge him.

Served since '93, second oldest Republican member of the House.

'Most conservative member of the Maryland delegation, and one of the most conservative members ever to represent the state. He describes himself as a "citizen-legislator" and an advocate of limited government. He is the only member of the Maryland delegation who is pro-life on abortion issues. Bartlett was among 33 in Congress who voted against the re-authorization of the Voting Rights Act; his spokeswoman said he concluded that the bill's provisions "didn't reflect current realities to protect the right of all American citizens in every jurisdiction to have the opportunity to vote."<2> He has consistently voted against increasing the minimum wage and most recently voted against extending employment benefits to those who have lost jobs.

A vocal proponent of the Hubbert peak theory, Bartlett argues strongly in favor of preparation for a decline in the production of fossil fuels.'
