In
a closed-door Republican Conference meeting on Wednesday, Boehner
demanded his wavering members “get your ass in line” to back his
proposal, and some members obliged.
Michigan Rep. Thad McCotter, who is running for
the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, switched from voting no to yes
during the 90-minute session. Reps. Blake
Farenthold of Texas, Billy
Long of Missouri and Jeff
Denham of California are now backing the speaker’s plan, as are
Reps. Darrell Issa of
California, Renee Ellmers of
North Carolina, Nan Hayworth
of New York and Dan Lungren of
California.
Lungren even got up during the meeting and
likened Boehner to Ronald Reagan, the conservative icon who was
president during Lungren’s first stint in the House. Other hard “no”
voters have flipped to leaning no or even undecided.

Wimps. What's next? Apologizing to their constituents?
ReplyDeleteNo, apologizing to Harry and Barry. - Skyhawker, Doug
ReplyDeletewv: outted - nothing more to say here.
Somewhere on Capitol Hill is a Riot Assessment Report that has all these people scared shitless. It'll take a riot to get any meaningful change from this bunch.
ReplyDeleteI'm regifting this -
ReplyDeleteI listed to Boehner on Rush yesterday. I wanted to reach through the internet and bitch-slap him when he revealed the cuts for the coming fiscal year is ONLY $24 billion. This is leadership?
Only serious plan I have seen so far has been from Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Connie Mack.

Should have been 'listened'.. damn typos...
ReplyDeleteReally disappointed in McCotter. I love the man's speeches. I was hoping he would have thrown in with the Tea Party backed representatives.
Even National Review is backing the Boehner plan. *sigh*
The spending & debt situation is critical right now. I see us going the way of Argentina (which btw was WEALTHIER per capita than the United States before the statists took over). Action cannot wait until January of 2013.
Dan Lungren,Ca.
ReplyDeleteFigures.
Professional ass-kisser.
None of these losers deserve to be compared with RR.
