I do concur but one of those stalwarts hails from KS, named Tim Huelskamp, who was already punished for standing in the face of the liberal John Boehner, Eric Cantor et al running the House last two congresses, by removing his committee appointments!

Thankfully, Tim has also voted against Boehner's speakership each and every time the vote comes up.

This is exposing what Boehner wanted to do. He talks “regular order”, while Democrats use “nuclear options”. But had King not exposed this , Boehner would have said “I didn’t bring it to the floor!!” It was the Dems under regular order” Now King will pressure for a vote on this resolution and who in the conservatives can be against it? Now— Peter King, the Democrat from New York will want the Democrats to force the bill down conservatives throat. I think he will be the only one. No conservative wants to lose his seat for letting the Democrats take over the floor of the House. Great move. !!!let your Congressman know he or she must support the rule XII resolution to restrict bill introduction by anyone but the Speaker.

Huelskamp’s example shows what’s wrong with Boehner’s leadership:
The RINOs should lose their committee posts if they vote against a rule change or for the ‘clean’ DHS bill.
But under Boehner Party discipline doesn’t apply to the RINOs.
