Is Pelosi Rigging Committees to Win Votes for a Government Takeover of Healthcare?
Speaker Nancy Pelosi removed Charlie Melancon (LA-03), who voted against the House healthcare bill and is retiring to run for the U.S. Senate, from the House Budget Committee and replaced him with Dennis Moore (KS-03), a known supporter of a government takeover of healthcare who is also retiring.
According to the House Budget Committee Web site, Melancon “resigned” from the committee on March 3, 2010, and Moore joined the committee today, March 10.
