Astute observation —
However they are all up for election next year and hopefully we will have some fresh faces.
I note that Ann Wagner who replaced Todd Akin fell right in line with Boehner.
Maybe he will challenge her for that seat in the primaries.
Ann Wagner is for amnesty as well. Todd Akin was with Tancredo and King. The Club for Growth and these other wimps couldn’t beat Akin. I brought this up to Roy Blunt when he was considering amnesty. Akin beat the others because he was a reliable conservative. They tried to attack him on earmarks when no one really cares about that issue except “extremely conservative” Jeff Flake.

Wagner said “I understand the need for reform. The system is broken and, if we do nothing, it is the de-facto amnesty that we have currently. We need to do something.”
