Hoyer is standing up to Ryan on Face the Nation

He is not letting Ryan peddle his bullshit.

2. Remarkable.. and quite un-Hoyer-ish

I am glad to hear it.. Maybe some of the other "non-confrontational" type Dems will get the idea...

3. dems rotate through their people...on one issue, this guy

is the 'good' dem and on another issue a different dem will be the front man and get good press. This enables the others to vote with the gop but the constituents get the feeling that the dems are fighting for them. And this strategy allows several dems to apear more moderate than they are since they don't have to vote with the republicans every time.

It's been like this since W's reign.

6. I've noticed that too.

It's been glaringly apparent in Senate votes for some time now. They takes turns, with just enough voting with the Greedy Old Plutocracy so that plutocracy prevails while the rest of the group of rotating enablers gets to vote with their constituencies to give the appearance of being good guys.

5. Good To See, But Hoyer Has Always Been To The Right Of Me...

HOWEVER, these days I seem to be to the left of most Dems in Congress!

Needed to post something here since I rarely post much anymore! Stuff is just TOO depressing and I can't take the crap I see these days from MOST of the Dems in D.C., or even around the country!!

JMHO!
