"My bipartisan work"?
I'll need to learn more about this guy before I get on the bandwagon.
I know absolutely nothing about the gentleman.
But he would be prudent, at least, to wait for word from his party leadership before going on the attack in public.
There are often erroneous or mistaken news reports.......
You’re right.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just another victim of Cry-Baby Boner’s vindictiveness against Tea Party types.
Also, he endorsed Ron Paul.
I also will refrain from jumping on said bandwagon.
yes, you could easily be right
(from what today’s news reports seem to indicate about Mr. Boehner.... is the man just nuts, or maybe he doesn’t have any, or is he bought off, or what in the world is going on up there? He and his colleagues were elected to CUT taxes, CUT wasteful and corrupt spending, reduce burdensome over-regulation, and restore some simple sanity in WashingtonDC. Didn’t anybody give him a copy of the playbook, or????)
"my bipartisan work toward a balanced budget"
Not sure what that has to do with NDAA.
But the Paul partisans are focused on NDAA for other reasons.
So in other words the media could be blowing smoke up our backsides. the guy has not be informed by Boehner that he is off the committee. Interesting how DC works you are dead even before you know you are dead. Sounds more Obama Ministry of Disinformation
He’s my rep and a good one too!
I merely brought up that one of his joint efforts was dealing with the whole NDAA powers for the Gov't.
My impression is he's just out to make headlines. As he is someone who endorsed Ron Paul somehow I'm not surprised.

I like and respect my party leaders; theyve got a very difficult job. But sadly, it seems that the Washington GOP establishment hasnt learned many lessons
from our Republican losses in November.
I wasn’t elected to vote in lockstep with party leaders, particularly when they support things that are bad for the country, like the Wall Street bailouts. Similarly I have proposed spending cuts - like eliminating foreign aid and the federal Department of Education; halting the bailouts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; cutting off funding for Obamacare; and stopping the war in Afghanistan which they have been unwilling to make.
Republican voters overwhelmingly supported my positions in my primary re-election. In the general election I was honored to receive the highest percentage of any Republican running for congress in the state of North Carolina. Nationally, the verdict on our partys tactics was less kind.
While some in Washington think that putting constituents and common sense conservative principles first is cause for retribution, I was elected to be an independent conservative voice for Eastern North Carolina, and that’s what I’ll continue to be.

Oh, I’m not forgetting the others in the crosshairs.
Yeah, from what I have been able to read, he is strongly opposed to domestic detention language in the NDAA.
