GOP leaders remove 4 from plum House committees
By By KEVIN FREKING | Associated Press – 13 mins ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner’s decision to take plum committee assignments away from four conservative Republican lawmakers after they bucked party leaders on key votes isn’t going over well with advocacy groups that viewed them as role models.

Reps. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas and Justin Amash of Michigan will lose their seats on the House Budget Committee chaired by Rep. Paul Ryan next year. And Reps. Walter Jones of North Carolina and David Schweikert of Arizona are losing their seats on the House Financial Services Committee.

The move is underscoring a divide in the Republican Party between tea party-supported conservatives and the House GOP leadership.

They never seem to punish liberal Republicans for “bucking” party leaders.

That is right, only scandals get you kicked off committee’s.... until now.
