A whopping 34 courageous conservative Republicans shocked the political world on Thursday by severely woundingand nearly killingObamatrade on a purely procedural vote.
Most importantly about this is that the vote passed with less than a majority of the full House of Representatives. Speaker Rep. John Boehner was only able to on a purely procedural vote obtain 217, rather than the 218 votes for a majority, votes for the rule. It passed the House 217-212.
The vote, which nearly failed and would have ended Obamatrade right there, was a necessary procedural hurdlea rulethat was must-pass for Obamatrade to make its way to the House floor for final consideration on Friday. Whats more, the nearly successful effort to kill Obamatradewhich has been lobbied heavily for by House GOP leadership, particularly the programs chief architect Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan means that theres blood in the water around Obamatrade everywhere in the eleventh hour.

Everyone has their price. Boner just works up the demand curve until he gets the quantity of votes he and his handlers need.
Dropped by my rep’s Facebook page, Freshman Rod Blum, R - IA, and left him a nice note referencing not only his 100% rating at Conservative Review, but his being among the “34 Courageous”.
Searched the list twice for Steve King’s name ... Kind of shocked not to find it. Perhaps tomorrow??
Thanks. I realize now it’s the son who’s in congress and not the old man. I think it was the old man I listened to on Hannity’s show but he’s retired from the house.
Boehner and every other republican traitor who voted for this POS should be thrown out of office, stripped of their benefits and retirement and prosecuted for treason.
I will go to Louie Gohmert’s office tomorrow and personally thank his staff for his vote. I’ll likely also give him a check as well.
“I’m confused. Are we talking about Obastardtrade, or Boehner? “
All the living must eventually die, not so for Bills like this.
So that is your answer.
0bama will use any authority granted to sell out America.
Vote NO.
It will pass. the fix (and bribe checks from the U.S. Chamber) are already in.
I was just at Ted Cruz’s Facebook. He’s getting roasted. Its ugly.
I wouldn’t give the One Who Pulls Fast Ones On Us, a fast ANYTHING.
This goes to show that nobody’s perfect not even Ted.
Not even my CONgressman shows up on this courageous list!!!
This goes well beyond not being perfect.
And here’s another one-

I think I’m about ready to move to Australia.
Aussies will tell you their attitude on bearing arms isn’t all that bad either. Until you see what they really do.
Sometimes I wonder if the government and the electorate have all decayed into one big emotion.
Looks like the rats back it 100%
Good! Maybe he will straighten up and fly “Right”! (I deleted all my cool Cruz memes the night I read about his vote ... Didn’t “unlike” him though, lol)
Thanks , off to check it out ~
It’s That Bad ???
It’s That Bad!
Our guys need to fight this one...
Then maybe I’ll go north of the arctic circle.
I have no intention of living under a secret government where my “representatives” pass secret laws.
I don’t want anything to do with anyone who does anything like this at all.
Nice, but where were these guys when Boehner was being re-elected? Only a few stood against him.
