Default GOP House Committee Chairs - so Far All Men

So much for change in the party - so much for change in the country IMO. Our inept Congress with the lowest approval rating ever continues to strive for a 0% approval rating ... that must be their goal. Are these chairs like the Clint Eastwood chair? They must be ... they do next to nothing.
So far it looks like 10 white men ... with 2 spots left ... diversity ...

At the top of House committees, it’s a man’s world.
Not a single woman will lead any of the major House committees in the 113th Congress.

After a day of meetings closed to the public, the House Republican Steering Committee announced an all-male slate of committee chairs, including 12 returning lawmakers who will head up some of the most important panels in Washington. The chairs for the House Ethics Committee and House Administration Committee have yet to be chosen, so a woman could end up in one of those slots.

It's not diversity that matters...it's who's more qualified to run the country's business, and that would be none of these jackasses. The Republican party either doesn't get it, or they don't have anyone but white men to choose from- or both.

Apparently they are all white men, when will they ever learn??.. not one qualified republican woman or minority???? One of the issues is that much of this has to do with seniority, and as women and minorities are new to the Republican Game there is not much for them to pick from.

Where is the commentary about midterms??

Keep it up boyz every step you take like this solidifies the democratic base..

Is it any surprise that Republicans think that white men are the most qualified ones to run government? It just shows how backward that party is. In their eyes the face of America is still white men. And then, LOL, they run around claiming the Democrats are the racists. These guys are nuts! Keep up this game and they might even find a way to lose the House in 2014.

From the same article:

Quote:
House Democrats are likely to have five women as ranking members committees:

Rep. Nita Lowey (N.Y.) or Rep. Marcy Kaptur (Ohio) on Appropriations,
Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) on Financial Services,
Rep. Louise Slaughter (N.Y.) on Rules,
Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (Texas) on Science
Rep. Nydia Velazquez (N.Y.) on Small Business.

Nice to know they learned from the election!

Just wait till they lose big in 2014, that's when they will change....Cause if they don't the GOP will be done for and left for dead.

These are the guys that bent over backwards to pack a hearing on women's reproductive rights with only men. Then when a woman had the gall to testify, they went after her en masse as a "slut."

Now we have the unfortunate spectacle of the whole GOP trying to crucify Rice because if Kerry becomes sec. of state, there's a Senate seat up for grabs, and Scott Brown might be able to get back in.... but with the consequence that there's just one more random uncalled-for attack on a black woman underway from the Party of White Males.

Now then... if they really think that the person sent to sell the official story is the one they should go after, fine and dandy. But to do so, they've started down that road to say she's "not that bright" or "not qualified," when very clearly she is, based on her credentials and the consistency of how she handled her duties with how State employees are expected to handle their duties.

If you can get 5 rankings filled by women, why couldn't the other party find 5 women "qualified" to serve as chairs? Because -- as they are presently telegraphing once again to the nation at large -- "qualified" means whatever they want it to mean, as long as it results in certain kinds of people (ahem) in certain spots.

And this from the party that has a guy heading the science and tech committee who thinks the world is 6,000 years old.

Feh.

Feh feh feh.
