FLOOR DRAMA: BOEHNER EMBARRASSMENT AS HOUSE NEARLY KILLS OMNIBUS ON PROCEDURAL VOTE
breitbart.com/Big-Government ^ | 12-11-2014 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Republican Reps. Justin Amash (R-MI), Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Dave Brat (R-VA), Mo Brooks (R-AL), Paul Broun (R-GA), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), Walter Jones (R-NC), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Steve King (R-IA), Raul Labrador (R-ID), Tom Massie (R-KY), Bill Posey (R-FL), Matt Salmon (R-AZ) and Steve Stockman (R-TX) held the line and voted no. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-MI) switched his vote from nay to yay at the last minute.

If the numbers that are being reported—50 to 60, maybe more—of Republicans hold on against the final passage of the bill later in the day, and all the Democrats who opposed the rule oppose the bill, the bill would fail on final passage. It remains to be seen what will happen.

Gee, see Ferguson or NYC or what are his local business ties, etc.

Methinks you be the first person who actually espouses a suggested course of action that does not require ineffective, useless and irrelevant means to impact the Oligarchy now ruling us.

Everyone else seems stuck on calling the switchboard and/or 'voting for more Republicans'.

And that would be because most folks refuse to acknowledge where we have arrived, and so they are content to let their fatal case of Normalcy Bias assuage their consciences.

I mean, stopping a tyranny requires doing things beyond e-mails, phone calls and voting in November, and that is just too scary a thought for many.

Obama Backs Cromnibus
“...But he noted that it does not undo Obamacare, does not stop the president’s executive action on immigration, or curtail his sweeping climate change agenda, among other items.”

Roses are red, violets are blue;
Obamacare’s funded, and now Amnesty too!

The preceding is a lament about the Repubs rolling over, even funding the transport of HUNDREDS of dying Ebola patients to the US to infect the rest of us.

“Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

And the House has recessed indefinitely. Could be a special conference meeting. This might be the beginning of pulling the Cromnibus.”

Obama’s support ““... he noted that it does not undo Obamacare, does not stop the president’s executive action on immigration, or curtail his sweeping climate change agenda, among other items.”” will pull it through for him LOL~!

That is one man with whom I won’t shed a tear should he drink and drive over a steep cliff.

Knowing him, chances are high he does this in the next two years.

Conservatives in the house need to inform Boehner that he doesn’t represent him. I sure wish they would try to overthrow the clown in January.

The clown is no different from obama other than Boehner having orange skin and obama being brown.
