Why does Baucus still chair a committee in the Democratic Party?
It isn't something that the people elected him to...and with power comes privilege..he needs to be exactly what he was elected. ONE voice in a sea of 50 voices with his agenda being extended to the ONE vote he was given.
WHY THE **** hasn't he been stripped of his committee assignment and the position given to a REAL Democrat?
I dunno. I suspect most Democrats consider Montana Max a real Democrat, with impressive credentials and credibility as a real Democrat.

2. Email Reid to remove Baucus
He isn't a Democrat.
Those that weren't convinced before, should be now.
See franksolich's comment, above.

7. Where in the Constitution does it state that these worthless ****s are deserving of seniority perks?
Just because the people in Wyoming keep sending this worthless piece of **** ooze back every term doesn't mean WE should be saddled with his incompetency.
franksolich feels the same way about Patrick "Joe McCarthy" Leahy of Vermont.

8. Montana, but I hear you...
It is long standing tradition dating back to the 1800's. It could be changed in a heartbeat if they wanted, but they dont.

9. Ahh well when I think of states and traitors
I automatically think of Wyoming....but Montana it is, thank you for the correction.
When franksolich thinks of "states and traitors," franksolich automatically thinks of Vermont.

6. Harry Reid is a piece of sh*t. He should have pulled Baucus the moment he set up a 6 person sub-committee with equal Dems and Repukes.

10. Reid and Baucus are both in reelection trouble
Montana Max just took care of any problems he had, with re-election.

11. He chairs a committee in the United States Senate, not the Democratic Party.
Want to strip him of a committee assignment mid-session?
I hope you have 60 votes for cloture on a new organizing resolution, do you?
Bwa bwa bwa.
