Doesn’t matter. The guy is a traitor and is unreliable. He’ll vote with the rats from now on.
I also blame Bohner for this, and whoever the minority whip is. Talk about not have enough party discipline. The time for debate is over, Republicans need to be ruthless. Stop all work in the House and Senate. Show that they care about this country, rather than pretend when they are in front of the base.
C’mon... Blaming Boehner for a single defection in the whole, multi month process is not reasonable. I’m sure he was as surprised as the rest of us.
Whatever happened to making them read the bill on the floor?
Elections surely do have consequences! Boehner (from my state) and Eric Cantor/VA (I think he's minority whip?) and a bunch of other Rep.'s were tenacious as heck, but you can't stop the House Majority freight train, especially when the Prez himself is up there breaking arms...
I hope Pelosi et. al. are very proud of their stunning 3-vote victory, with 39 defections...I'm LMAO at this press conference with them right now - they're not getting much screaming adulation, applause, etc., and in fact, it's darn quiet...
That won't last long, either, them congratulating each other and making speeches about how wonderful they are (kissing Pelosi's ring, too - LOL!) - when real people of all stripes find out what's actually in this plan, they're not going to be happy campers!!
Kudos to the dissenting Democrats - you don't have to be conservative to recognize a sh*t sandwich when you see one!!
