Placing people who are mentally and ideologically opposed to the core mission of a committee, and good government, is all part of the plan. If you want the GOP to replace Broun you need to suggest someone less knowledgeable about science and more religiously driven. They would go for that.

I suppose you’ve seen who is putting their name in for chair of that committee? I don’t think any of them should be on it. Dana Rohrabacher, for example, made a twit of himself when asking questions of Dr. Richard Alley. He didn’t even listen to the answers, but kept talking over him with the next talking point on his list. If he’d actually listened, he’d have realized some of his questions were answered already and he didn’t need to ask them. Not that he was really asking…he was more or less stating them as facts.
