But dear friend, the Senate is going to strip most of the heart of the House bill in the conference committee and force our stalwart House conservatives into trying to fillibuster the "combined" bill that comes out of committee (because the GOP house leadership is more favorable to the Senate version), and don't expect any of the poisonous 400 amendments in the Senate bill to be omitted either.

They are setting up those who are willing to stand for something to either fail or be seen as "obstructing" a "wonderful reform". With November looming, guess who the House GOP is going to oppose, in the end; thinking it is out of self-preservation? You.

A party leadership turning against a party base is a very ugly thing.

Yes, I must admit I don't have much confidence with the conference committee being stacked with Senate Judicary members of both parties. Senator Sessions did an analysis of the Senate bill -- beyond scary.

Time to ask my Congressman, who has a backbone, to tell the other limp-wristed members to get one.

A party leadership turning against a party base is a very ugly thing.Right again. It's tearing a lot of us up and leads to holding one's nose as they pull the voting lever.
