Oh please.

Like the GOP was getting heat over Christmas/New Year's.

You libs just wish you were that influential.

So why was it reversed? Did God speak to DeLay?

I don't know and frankly don't care - maybe it was Tom's idea of a Christmas present to himself to watch all the liberals whine and scream when the rules were initially changed.

But next time I see Tom, I'll ask him for you and relay the message. =)

I had no idea Chris Shays was a liberal, Chris.

Chris Shays (CT4) is hardly a Liberal, at least in the view of The Almanac of American Politics and various ideological ratings schemes. I would think that one would have to characterize Shays as Center-Right. However, I am sure many Far Right Wing Republicans (i.e., virtually the whole GOP) regard him as a dyed-in-the-wool Liberal. In this regard, the two parties are alike. The Republican Right would like to rid itself of the likes of Shays, Collins, Snowe, Specter, Chafee and sometimes even Hagel and McCain. (Note: McCain still doesn't seem to be able to make up his mind as to whether he is a Bush man or a Teddy Roosevelt Bull Moose progressive, at least to the extent any modern Republican could be described as progressive.)In constrast, while the Post-Vietnam Liberals (Deaniacs, Kossacks, Crank Caucus, etc.) would like to rid themselves of the likes of Lieberman, they daydream about getting their hands on the so-called "RINOS" mentioned above. If the Republican moderates did defect, presumably the ultraLiberals would immediately turn on them, inasmuch as they are all more Conservative than is Lieberman himself. When you get right down to basics, the Right Wingers and Left Wingers have little use for moderates, which both sides seem to want to convert into "road kill."

Regarding DeLay, he is the sort of skulldugerous corrupt boss that Gingrich said he wanted to expel from the House of Representatives when he and the Contract-for-America Republicans wrested the majority from the Democrats.
