WV-2 Mike Callaghan versus a GOP Mushroom

Mike Callaghan called for Hastert's resignation.

Shelley Moore Capito, running for her 4th term, was the third member of the Page Board and this constituent is wondering why she was kept out of the loop along with Kildee, the lone Democrat on the board.  Capito has made an effort to be close to the House leadership while maintaining the false veneer of independence when it suits her political needs.  Did the leadership not trust her, or were they afraid she might actually do something and upset the apple cart?

This constituent would like to know how far Capito is willing to go in order to maintain the GOP's dream of a "permanent Republican majority".  As a member of the powerful Rules Committee Capito has helped to keep roughly half of her constituents from having any voice in the House, and now we're told that she herself has been kept at arms length over a very serious matter.

Capito want us to "let the investigation go forward by the FBI and the state of Florida" and while that's happening, what will her role be on the Page Board?  A GOP mushroom, or will she stand by her Speaker and the rest of the leadership?  Will the next sound I hear from her on the matter be "I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation"?

Shelley Moore Capito was in a position to help STOP Foley, and she wasn't given that opportunity by the members of her own party, the very party that she has repeatedly helped through her seat on the Rules Committee.

A "permanent Republican majority" no matter the cost is certainly not my idea of congressional representation.

She can't have it both ways and if she wants me to believe that letting her retain her seat in congress is in any way good for WV, she's going to have to do a lot more than cluck her tongue about how unconscionable the "situation" is.
