“Voting no were 135 Democrats and two Republicans, North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones and Iowa Rep. Steve King.”

Jones is RINO swine (”ex” dem with Pat Buchanan/Ron Paulish flavor), probably the worst one in the House who isn’t from a lib state like NY. So not surprised. Disgusted but not surprised. I hope freepers remember this, some people SUPPORTED him in the last primary (and while freepers were gunning for the likes of Elmers, no one was taking up his challenger) because they regard him as “anti-establishment” and he voted no on Boehner. He’s to the LEFT of the party establishment.

Steve King I must assume wants Christian refugees. Anyone can pretend to be a Christian. I would hope he’d vote AYE if his vote was needed.

Anyone can pretend to be a Christian.

Not convincingly they can't.

If you let middle eastern Christians do the vetting we'll have the most secure anti muzzy filter the world has ever seen. Most speak the language and many still regularly travel to and from the mideast so they have a network of contacts and their churches keep detailed records. The arch bishop in Baghdad was born there, grew up in Detroit and has returned there.

All it did was give a lot of congressmen cover to say they did something.
