GOP Opts to Remain in Minorityby Jon Roth at 06:53 PM
We have not learned the lesson of 2006 and the GOP's stupidity is alarming.
Rep. Jo Bonner (R-Ala.) has been selected to fill the appropriations panel seat vacated by ex-Rep. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), several GOP sources said Thursday.John Boehner's refusal to put Jeff Flake on Appropriations shows a lack of seriousness on earmarks and spending in general, as it would have been the strongest sign of a return to limited government principles. Why does the Republican party believe it can win back the majority without reforming itself?GOP leaders faced a pool of seven House lawmakers, including the chairman of the House campaign committee who ran against two politically vulnerable members, and Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who was backed by the anti-earmark community and conservative blogs.

It's the biennial circular firing squad. If they were serious, Rep Flake would be the Leader.
