LOL - You can BE a conservative, you just can't VOTE like a conservative.

he claimed that it had nothing to do with their conservative ideology, but had to do with their voting patterns."

So I live and learn.

When I voted, I thought I was voting for the guy that would represent me.

And all the time, boner thought I was voting for a guy that would represent him.

Am I confused.

Well well... I just got a message from my Representative via Facebook regarding my question of the Speaker (my question was right after congratulating him on his appointment to the House Ways & Means Committee):

Thank you very much Michael for the kind words. I appreciate the message.
If you look at the members who were added to committees and given chairmanships there are lots of conservatives. Mulvaney, one of our most conservative members, was added to Financial Services. And many who think the Speaker is in the wrong don’t realize that the members removed from the Budget Committee voted against Paul Ryan’s budget.
Best,
Tim

And, of course, you must NEVER vote the way people who elected you want you to vote, if it isn’t the way Mr. Bonehead wants you to vote. What an unbelievable situation. You owe your allegiance to “the party,” not your constituents.
