Pete Sessions makes me sick - he's voted RINO every single time. I'll be supporting his opponent next time or not voting for him.

None of your heroes who voted their meaningless symbolic NOs on this bill will challenge Bohner tomorrow, he gave them cover with his move,

1) Bohner put up the Obama-McConnell bill knowing House Dems would pass it with a few Rs, including Ryan
2) Many house Rs got their safe symbolic NOs against it knowing that the bill would pass anyway and so our taxes wouldn’t go up as they would if it failed.
3) None of them wanted their votes to kill it, they were just playing their symbolic ‘no’ game.
4) So they will all support Bohner as Speaker. That is the real vote, none will step up to challenge him.

Only 85 of your heros, led by Bonehead voted for this sham of a bill.
It started out with your boys in the Senate adding over 4 Trillion over
10 years in new spending.
Your Senate Rino Monkeys seemed giddy they had reached a deal.

RE :”Only 85 of your heros, led by Bonehead voted for this sham of a bill.”

I dont see anyone challenging him, the whole R House caucus supported what he did and the proof will be tomorrows voter on him. They all wanted it to pass but a few are mice and scared to admit it.

You completely miss that just like you missed that taxes would go up AFTER plan B was killed.
