FLOOR DRAMA: BOEHNER EMBARRASSMENT AS HOUSE NEARLY KILLS OMNIBUS ON PROCEDURAL VOTE
breitbart.com/Big-Government ^ | 12-11-2014 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 12/11/2014 10:03:20 AM PST by servo1969

Republican Reps. Justin Amash (R-MI), Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Dave Brat (R-VA), Mo Brooks (R-AL), Paul Broun (R-GA), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), Walter Jones (R-NC), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Steve King (R-IA), Raul Labrador (R-ID), Tom Massie (R-KY), Bill Posey (R-FL), Matt Salmon (R-AZ) and Steve Stockman (R-TX) held the line and voted no. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-MI) switched his vote from nay to yay at the last minute.

If the numbers that are being reported—50 to 60, maybe more—of Republicans hold on against the final passage of the bill later in the day, and all the Democrats who opposed the rule oppose the bill, the bill would fail on final passage. It remains to be seen what will happen.

I have a damn car salesman as my congresscritter.
So far Roger Williams has been a do-nothing go along rhino. I’ve even emailed and told him to do SOMETHING. Got a form letter response. I notice he didn’t buck the rhino dictate!

Well, you still did the right thing by trying.

You never know what tips the balance. They track the calls and enough people call, they see which way the wind is blowing and get with it.

Too many here just beyotch and moan when they just need to DO something.

We are activists, after all!

I contacted my Rep. Duncan (SC) to inform him of my thoughts on his yay vote. I let him know in case he wasn’t sure that he is a coward.

Great to see Dave Brat (who knocked off Cantor) do what he said he would do.

It’s a shame that only 17 out of 231 Republicans had the guts to vote down the rule on this turkey of a bill.

I’m of the opinion that Rep Bentivolio needs to be primary-ed out in addition to Boehner.

God bless Paul Broun from GA. He should have been elected the new senator from GA.
