He didn't vote for anyone for speaker as weather where he was kept him from getting there in time for that vote. He likely would have voted for Boehner as I read he said he would have supported him, but you are correct, one vote doesn't label anyone - except on FR.
It's disheartening to see Freepers dump on Gowdy and Cruz and any other conservative member of congress who is making a conservative difference in government - one vote different from the way a Freeper would have voted and the congressional member is dead forever with that Freeper and he/she dumps on that person on FR forever after.
I was initially excited about Trey and don't want to dump on him, but I'm wondering if what we’ve seen of Gowdy five minutes at a time is the same thing we will get in the long game.
When the guilty and the liars are held to account, we will see that he is real.
His hands may be tied, but he is obviously savvy enough to know that, and if he is serious, he will not participate in farce.
