Hey, people should talk. I’m all for that. (Even though the content of their message in the meeting seemed to be “Wah! We’re going to lose this sweet gig because of you!”)

But, then to turn around and leak it like that — what worms! They probably had no interest in exchanging ideas with the President. But, the meeting would allow them to get into the news. I’d like to scream at these dirt bags too.

They have put retaining their seats above the national security of the nation.

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought when I’d heard they told Bush he was hurting the Republican party. I’m thinking: What in the world does that have to do with anything?

Unfortunately, I also think the Democrats were willing to do anything to get back into power, including if it hurt our country as a whole.

Kirk and LaHood squeaked by last November. That’s the reason for undercutting the President. They have put retaining their seats above the national security of the nation.

Well, too bad. They took an oath to uphold and defend the CONSTITUTION, against ALL ENEMIES, domestic and foreign. As this country is at war, facing an external enemy that wishes to destroy us all, as well as people of the opposition party that are directly aiding and abetting Al Qaeda, they should be supporting the military goals of this country, because THAT IS WHAT AN ELECTED CONGRESSMAN IS SUPPOSED TO DO during a time of war!

If their “conscience” does not allow them to support THEIR COUNTRY DURING A TIME OF WAR, then they should resign immediately, and go back to Illinois.

Hope they enjoyed the meeting; they won’t be getting another one until 2009.

They won’t get one then. Hillary will never meet with a bunch of low-level GOP House hacks.

When HA first posted the thread about the meeting I was more infuriated at the media-leaking, than at what they’d told the President, allegedly.

Kindergarten in Washington, from both sides, at the cost of the country.

Centrist Republicans? More like RINO’s to me.

Gutless republican representatives. I guess this is what the cut-and-run republicans voted for in the last election.

In 2009, neither of them will be in any need of a meeting with the White House. The President may well be a Dem, and they will be retired former Representatives…

Sources said that Dan Meyer, Bush’s liaison to the House, confronted LaHood while White House political strategist Karl Rove rebuked Kirk.

I wonder if Lord Rove used the force on LaHood.
