Rudolf The Red knows rain, Dear.
Boner’s sell-out of America is a done deal.
Want to know how bad the Cromnibus is?
Obama supports it.
Is this the guy that campaigned as a tea partier and then has been constantly stabbing us in the back???
What was his lame-duck payoff?
Colorado’s newly elected rep senator (gardner) not among the no votes I see. He will be a fence walker uhttps://www.origin.com/en-us/store/free-games/on-the-housenfortunately.

"Boosting the anxiety was a call published on the conservative RedState blog for GOP members who oppose the underlying bill to also oppose the rule.
"If a Republican opposes the continuing resolution, s/he must oppose the rule," stated the item. "Call your congressman and tell him to oppose the rule on the CRomnibus."
But Bentivolio said he was convinced to change his vote by the argument that voting down the rule would have ceded leverage to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
"I was the first one to vote no as a protest vote because I don't support amnesty," he said in a phone interview. "But when I realized that we were about to give Nancy Pelosi the floor, I said to hell with that and changed my vote."
Bentivolio, who lost reelection in a primary earlier this year, said he still plans to vote against the CRomnibus, however, and predicted that leadership will end up having to pass a short-term continuing resolution.
"Merry Christmas to 'em. They'll have to deal with it in the next Congress," he said. "

My representative, John Fleming, is not listed as a defector.
So I called his office and was told he was against the bill and had also voted no, and that his absence from the list was a mistake. I will keep checking; he is supposed to be a tea party conservative.
SHUT IT DOWN!!
He was the only one to point out Gruber’s co-conspirators the other day.

The guy was probably one of the most solid tea partiers in congress despite what the Hill and a few RINO groin leeches will tell you.
I have no idea, is this good or bad?
