Politico ^ | July 29, 2011 | Politico

Posted on 07/29/2011 4:32:13 PM PDT by americanophile

Speaker John Boehner pushed his debt-ceiling bill through the House Friday night with the support of 218 Republicans. Here are the 22 no votes:

Justin Amash (Mich.) Michele Bachmann (Minn.) Chip Cravaack (Minn.)

Jason Chaffetz (Utah) Scott Desjarlais (Tenn.) Tom Graves (Ga.) Tim Huelskamp (Kans.) Steve King (Iowa) Tim Johnson (Ill.) Tom McClintock (Calif.) Mick Mulvaney (S.C.) Ron Paul (Texas) Connie Mack (Fla.) Jim Jordan (Ohio) Tim Scott (S.C.) Paul Broun (Ga.) Tom Latham (Iowa) Jeff Duncan (S.C.) Trey Gowdy (S.C.) Steve Southerland (Fla.) Joe Walsh (Ill.) Joe Wilson (S.C.)

CORRECTED: Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) voted YES on the Boehner bill. That was incorrect in the initial list. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has been added to the list.

So it was the 5 from SC plus one other pub that made up the six who voted after it passed.

I would vote in favor of “shared sacrifice” if it means having the 49-51% who pay nothing start paying part of the burden. Otherwise, NO.

‘till they see what they'll be asked to support when it comes back.

The Pelosi Democrats will take over, and they won't need so many Republican votes to finalize it.

Steve King - IA-5 - NO
Tom Latham - IA-4 0 NO

The two Iowa GOP reps did their jobs today.

Only support the definitely Noes. A handful changed their vote from Yea at the last minute once certain the bill would pass without their vote.

No, you got that backwards. RummyChick listed the names of those who waited, which didn’t include any South Carolinians.

Five minutes before the vote, I called Rep. Steve Southerland’s office and they told me he was voting No. And he did.....

GOP Presidential Candidate Bachmann just scored a few more points with me.

I'm adding a point to her column on the presidential scorecard as well. I'd make her president in 2012 if only to insulate and encourage the Tea Party fresh faces in congress.

Now I’m confused. The article says, “the entire GOP South Carolina delegation waited until the final seconds to cast their not vote” but the list below includes them in the first part (along with Bachmann, for instance) and then says, “Other GOP members — and one Democrat — waited until the final minutes to cast their votes.” [And lists some Republicans (none of them South Carolinians) along with the one Democrat Lloyd Doggett]

“Those members are:

Ted Poe (TX)
Steven Pearse (NM)
Dan Lungren (CA)
Mike McCaul (TX)
Steve Latourette (OH)
Doug Lamborn (CO)
Parker Griffith (AL)
Sean Duffy (WI)
Lloyd Doggett (D-TX)
Michael Burgess (TX)
Brian Bilbray (CA)
Joe Barton (TX)”

Which is true? The account sounds contradictory to me.

I’m so disappointed in Todd Rokita (R-IN). A lot of good rhetoric during the election, but his actions are defining him.

We’ll remember ya in the 2012 primary, Todd.

This is the email I just sent my Rep.

Message Subject: I’m disappointed in you.
Message Text:
Representative Rokita: I was hesitant to throw my support to you in the last election. Steve Buyer left some big shoes to fill. I knew that as SOS, you had let an ineligible candidate on the ballot. I listened and read the endorsements and reassurances of your supporters and eventually I decided to vote for you. I had hoped that you would live up to your election rhetoric, and wouldn’t have to call you or worry about how you would vote on crucial issues, such as the latest spending cut and debt ceiling proposals. I was wrong. So I’m telling you now, I would hope that as a conservative, you would not support ANY bill that raises the debt ceiling, or calls for new revenues (taxes). I would also hope that you are wise enough to understand that without DRASTIC, immediate spending cuts, our future as a country is going to disentigrate. I have two teenage daughters and I truely fear for their future. It is time for all Republican Representatives and Senators to decide whether they will fight for the TEA party principles, or continue the self perpetuation of the GOP elites. Rest assured we are watching your actions. Senator Lugar will be replaced in the primaries, and any other ineffectual office holders will be as well.” Yes I am mad. Not the “you kissed my girlfriend” mad, but rather the, “consider this a divorce” mad. So to borrow from Speaker Boehner, you had better get in line...and not the RINO one!

You are aware 4-6 of the “no” votes were quickly changed from “yes” votes at the end of voting...so 4-6 yes votes had “their a$$es in line” as per Boehner if needed. No way to tell who they were....

Exactly. I don’t understand why people are so afraid of a shutdown. That is what is supposed to happen when the government starts doing things that a majority do not agree with.

It is well-established that there is enough revenue with no new borrowing to pay our debts, our troops, law enforcement, judiciary, and SS/M. A shutdown hurts nobody but government employees in agencies that should not even exist under the Constitution, and government dependents relying on other benefits like foodstamps, housing assistance, Medicaid, etc. We have more than enough revenue to pay for everything that is actually Constitutional, plus the unConstitutional SS/M. Why on Earth would we borrow more money ?

Something people never mention about interest rates going up due to a credit rating downgrade: if you don’t borrow money, it doesn’t matter what the interest rate is. In fact, if you save money the higher interest rates on savings accounts tied to bond issues rewards you. I don’t borrow money and I’m sick of earning 0.25% interest on my savings.
