The House of Representatives may vote on their budget reconciliation spending cuts package as early as Thursday. The package finds $50 billion in savings ($15 billion more than the Senate), but the outcome of the vote is uncertain.

The vote on the fiscally responsible savings bill has been pushed back now multiple times in order to better ascertain support for the measure. But as of today, there are still some Republicans whose position on cutting spending is unknown.

thanks for the information.

Is this the same bill that the RINOs are cutting the ANWR drilling from?

[pollywog]

bump for assignment!!

Chris Smith represents Jersey City, an area that would normally be quite Demoratic. He is excellent on the social issues, and on protecting the military. He is voting as he has promised to vote. Nobody who could get elected to that seat is going to be a tightwad with tax money, I'm afraid. Chris Smith may noty win any awards for thriftiness, but he has a boatlaod of integrity and principle.

Nancy Johnson, on the other hand, is a complete RINO and embarrassment to the Republican Party. I would rather have a Dem in there. It doesn't help that her husband has performed abortions, a procedure that she wants performed and paid for by us at every opportunity.

Bad headaches. Reading the original format was bringing one on.

[LS]

Not a single R from OH is on the list, I'm proud to say.

[UB355]

Sensenbrenner, F. James, Jr has been on record. He voted against one of the Katrina disaster funding bills.

[michigander]

Is this the same bill that the RINOs are cutting the ANWR drilling from?

Yes. It also contains the splitting of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Leach, James A. (R-2nd IA)

No surprise my Congressman, the RINO poster boy, is on this list. I just fired off an email to him.

If the day comes that the Iowa Dems get a brain and decide to run someone to the right of Castro against him, he'll lose. Conservatives like me will notice litte if any difference in how we're (not) represented in the House.

[goodnesswins]

DAVE Reichert (WA) BLOCKING spending cuts!!!!

[Gabz]

Castle, Michael N. (R-DE)

Is there is nothing and has NEVER been anything conservative about this man.

Evergreen State ping

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.

Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.

[pollyannaish]

Thanks.

It doesn't surprise me that New Jersey's delegation is well represented. But given that New Jersey get's back somewhere between 63 and 67 cents back for every dollar it sends to Washington, I can understand why they want to keep whatever pork they have but I can't understand why they wouldn't want to cut everyone else's pork.

[pollyannaish]

Ah...King/Pierce counties. That makes it understandable as far as the choices he is having to make. Not any better mind you, but at least there is an explaination.

Anyone know how he is in other areas?

[rightinthemiddle]

Bob Inglis is the only one from a Red State...South Carolina.

What's his deal?

And, New Hampshire folks are usually fiscally conservative...what' their excuse?
