high payed speaking engagements or a nice cushy consulting job no doubt
Got me it is confusing. I just posted his excuse.
But I hear Boner is delaying the vote because he may not have enough.
My representative, John Fleming, is not listed as a defector.
So I called his office and was told he was against the bill and had also voted no, and that his absence from the list was a mistake. I will keep checking; he is supposed to be a tea party conservative.

Well... I guess ok?
...Still don’t make no sense.
If they get amnesty in it is all over.

In an interview, Bentivolio said he will vote against the budget deal because it doesn’t block President Barack Obama’s executive action allowing up to 5 million illegal immigrants to work in the United States and remain here.
He said he had cast a protest vote against the rule but changed his mind “because I didn’t want to give Nancy Pelosi the floor.” He said he looked up at vote tally “and I said ‘holy cow,’ it really is 212-212. I can’t give the victory to Nancy Pelosi,” the House Democratic leader.
Bentiovolio added that “I know I don’t want to shut the government down.”
He said Republicans always vote in favor of the rule.
“I didn’t really agree with it, but I want to have an opportunity to vote against the ($1 trillion spending bill),” Bentivolio said, adding that the spending bill has many good provisions but said he couldn’t support it for not blocking what he called Obama’s “amnesty action.”
He also complained that he has lost his office a fate suffered by other departing members of Congress and his staff is working out of a cafeteria. Bentivolio says he “doesn’t like voting on a 1,600-page bill that I really haven’t had an opportunity to read.”
Asked what he plans to do next, Bentivolio said: “I plan to follow in the footsteps of Jesus: broke and homeless” referring cryptically to his finances.
SHUT IT DOWN!!
Look at #8 and #11.
Look at #8 and #11.
Dear Mark Levin:
Please add a ban on Lame Duck Sessions to the agenda for your Article V Convention.
And also allowing a state to secede if 2/3 of its voters vote for it.
Wait till you see his replacement.
The guy can’t wait to vote for Amnesty.
Bentivolio’s replacement is a sure fire pro amnesty vote.
He was the only one to point out Gruber’s co-conspirators the other day.

The guy was probably one of the most solid tea partiers in congress despite what the Hill and a few RINO groin leeches will tell you.
I have no idea, is this good or bad?
