In a move that could deadlock the 12-member panel over taxes, but perhaps set the stage for changes later, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell named Tea Party ally Patrick Toomey to the panel with Jon Kyl and Rob Portman.

House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, appointed Dave Camp, who chairs the tax-writing House Ways & Means Committee, along with conservative "young gun" Jeb Hensarling and Fred Upton.

Senate Democrats were first out of the gate Tuesday with appointments of Senators Max Baucus, John Kerry and Patty Murray, a trio that analysts said sent a mixed message about the panel's potential.

The three remaining slots are to be filled by House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi by Tuesday. Hensarling and Murray will co-chair the committee.

Bonehead selected a Liberal Rino, a Conservative, and a Flunkie who does whatever Bonehead wants.

Did we expect anything different ? The mere fact of a committee being needed to do the job principals didn't...should tell us all we need to know.

I just wonder since they all signed that pledge from the GOP lobbyist, NEVER to raise taxes for any reason at any time, which oath they will honor

The one to follow the laws of this land, or the one which only listens to the high paid oil and big business lobbyist Grover Norquist.

Since all six named signed that pledge I fail to see how any agreement will be reached, which is what the GOP want or should I say Big Business wants anyway
