God bless Louie Gohmert - I’ve stepped up and been the sacrificial lamb before, scary feeling, but oh so worth it at the end of the day.
Gohmert is my congressman and I have to say, that other than Ted Cruz, he is one of the very few congressfolk I have any respect for. Once politicians get in office they get used to the princely life and will do anything to maintain it. If this cowardly bunch does not do something about illegal immigration and democrats are awarded with millions of new democrats for the nest election, we are toast as a representative Democracy. We will become a one party country with generational corruption just like you see in Mexico. Many of the Republican candidates for president in 2012 said that their first order of business would be to dismantle Obamacare. Now we are down to hoping the Republicans do SOMETHING.
Because he is a patriot.
Took a little while on hold but I finally got through to my representative (congressman elect Will Hurd, TX) office regarding how he plans to vote today. Was told they didn’t know. I said, “Are you kidding me? Your office SERIOUSLY doesn’t know how he plans to vote!” And they said they seriously didn’t know. Said they’d been getting a lot of calls. Told them that this was congressman Hurd’s first test and we’d be watching.
Looks like we have one Representative with enough fortitude to vote for the people and not the establishment. We’ll soon know how many other there are in the peoples house.
Those that don’t ...follow through on “WE, THE PEOPLES’ WILL” ... not one dime, not one penny ... will they receive from us !
Jeeze, if Gomert REALLY believed that Boehner changed into a conservative based on a few words then I hate to think how Obama could bamboozle him with all his lies.
His story here doesn't add up.
If Boehner said he trusted Obama on a passed budget but realized that Obama lied to him only after it was signed you wouldn't accept such tripe in a second.
I am of the same opinion.
I disagree.
Is this Lou ???
‘I trusted Boehner and he lied to me, lied I tell you, he said he has changed his ways and would run all bills by us before putting them up for a vote, I believed him, then he passed them anyway, I feel so betrayed sobb”
I recall in the past issuing many challenges to Lou to challenge Boehner and one freeper told me he wouldnt have a chance if he did because other GOP house members call him dumb (or something to that effect).
Jeeze
