Great!

Now ask Him if He will help pass The Bill to Give Greeks a tax Break to build New Houses? Not just Educational areas, but the total House.

Look into to it and get the true idea.

I know nothing about this dude, but the fact that 1) he's a Sigma Chi and 2) he beat John "Mr. Potato Head" Murtha make him cool with me. :)

Murtha, what a joke. All my Marine friends hate him with a passion.

I have met Congressman Hoyer and I also went to UMD. I knew he was greek but didn't know he was a Sigma Chi! What a great houe they used to be (no longer there).

He is a wonderful man.

He will do wonderful things for the state and the House and he will do a great job.

Agree with above Posters above.

What is scarry is Murtha was pushed by the newly House leader, Pelosi.

What does that say about her?

I think Pelosi pushed for Murtha because it was Hoyer that she beat out for the leadership position a few years back.

From what I have heard, she and Hoyer did not have a very good working relationship because of that.

Yall know I'm a conservative, but seriously, democrats are simply terrible at politics. The verdict is still out on policy, but in the few days they've been in pseudo-control, they've shown they need Carville to come in and teach a National Politics 101 seminar.

As Keith Olbermann pointed out on Countdown last night, how come Trent Lott beating Lamar Alexander for Senate Minority Leadership is a remarkable comeback for him and something to celebrate, but Hoyer beating Murtha is Democratic infighting?
