Sorry buddy, but that dog won't hunt.  Gowdy makes some good points in his letter, as did Cumming's in his, but Gowdy's letter is just as biased and self serving of the GOP agenda as Cumming's was toward the democrat's agendy.  To begin with no Republican who is trying to write a balanced response to an opposition member starts out by intentionally using the adjective "democrat" in every instance where "democratic" is the correct and preferred term.  The democrats know it is done purposely and, correctly or incorrectly, consider it insulting and thay hate it.  It is one of the terms with "negative" connotation Newt taught in his classes on what words to use and when to the 1994 GOP freshman class.  If you want to win the respect of a ''Democratic'' member of congress you introduce him as a "congressman who is a Democrat'' or a "Democratic Congressman" but never as a "Democrat congressman''.  Sure, it is a little thing probably even petty, but it is such little things that have poisoned the atmosphere in DC so why, in the name of good sense and the future of America, keep doing it? Does Gowdy think he is being cute?  I'll stick with Ryan, he is not really my cup of tea, but if he and Patti Murray can be friends and work together to get something accomplished, he is somebody l'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt.  Too bad so few of the Jihadist GOP'er aren't as willing.  Would you advise your representative to back Ryan?
