Subcommittee on troubles

I was watching and listening to sub committee on high voltage transmittion line and the one thing that I have noticed with the discussion is the lack of Republicans on the committee. Is the Republican s strictly a no non participant in the Government operation. I realize they represent nothin but big business but are they not elected by people ? It is no wonder what happened during the Bush Administration. I think they have forgotten who they represent. There has to be a change in the Republican Party or they will have to be the forgotten Political Party. Don
