He had already voted NO on the rule to allow CRomnibus to come up for a vote. The vote time had expired, but Boehner kept it open and told Stutzman he was going to pull the bill and replace it with a short term CR, but to vote for the rule anyway. Stutzman believed Boehner and switched his vote. If Stutzman hadn’t done what he did, CRomnibus would have died; instead it passed tonight.
Oopsie.
Fire the bastard.
That is quite a bunch of con artistry. Extending the time- lying about short term CR... anything to get the rule passed.
Boehner needs to GO, period. He is a Chamber of Commerce crony lying shiite.
Ok, so what are the rank and file members of the House going to do about Boehner’s lying? He has lied to the American people, he has lied to the Republican Party, now he is lying to his own caucus. Oh that’s right, it is a ready made excuse, we don’t want to punish, or remove Boehner from his position of power, we would have to stand for something.
If Stutzman hadn’t done what he did, CRomnibus would have died; instead it passed tonight.

I don’t think the vote count stated by Rollcall are right.
The numbers I recall seeing Thursday night were 219-206, so this drama queen Congressman’s vote didn’t matter.
This is already the second instance since the election, where Boehner has been accused of a dirty trick. The Ted Yoho bill on immigration, Boehner was accused of secretly amending the bill without telling anyone and then allowing it to get voted on.
This guy has the biggest Republican majority since the days of Calvin Coolidge and he's reduced to dirty tricks? How pathetic can you get?
