Punishing the Paulians [Schweikert, Jones, Amash, Huelskamp]

Many days I want to give up (like Fred) and this is one of those days.

Boehner attacks the few decent congressmen, in a taste of what is to come in the post-Ron House.

GOP Steering Committee Shuffles Conservatives
http://www.rollcall.com/news/gop_steering_committee_shuffles_conservatives-219601-1.html

Speaker John A. Boehner initiated today a small purge of rebellious Republicans — mostly conservatives — from prominent committees; it’s the latest instance of the Ohio Republican’s clamping down on his fractious conference.

The decisions were made by the GOP Steering Committee at a Monday meeting, which reviewed a spreadsheet listing each GOP lawmaker and how often he or she had voted with leadership, three sources said.

Reps. David Schweikert of Arizona and Walter Jones of North Carolina were booted from the Financial Services Committee. Reps. Justin Amash of Michigan and Tim Huelskamp of Kansas were removed from the Budget Committee.

According to a source, Schweikert was told that he was ousted in part because his “votes were not in lockstep with leadership.”

Whoa, Lew Rockwell called a house member other than RP "decent".

 

[sailingaway]

Yeah, there are a bunch of other posts on this, but the more outrage, the better imho.

simple solution. Start replacing these scum with Liberty candidates. On your marks...get set...GO.

 

[mport1]

Simpler solution. Secession.

Like I've said numerous times, until you grab leadership very little will change. If and when the good guys ever grab leadership, all hell will break loose.

Does This Look Like a Party Serious About Spending Cuts?

As noted on Reason 24/7, several conservatives in the House have been removed from seats on the House Budget and House Financial Services Committees. From The Hill:

[...]
In addition to voting against the last continuing resolution of the budget-less fiscal year 2012, Amash, Huelskamp, Jones and Schweikert all voted against the Budget Control Act last summer that raised the debt ceiling and help set the scene of the upcoming fiscal cliff.

Look at those punchable mugs.

I prefer to think of that place as heaven.

John Boehner proved himself to be 100% scumbag, when he personally rammed his bill to the floor to ensure the Qaddafi family was knocked off and Libyan oil/assets/water/land, was in the hands of the CIA and energy corporations.


Boehner's bill was quickly conjured-up by the establishment to circumvent and ensure Dennis Kucinich's Peace with Libya bill didn't pass. I also funneled billions through the DHS and CIA to destroy Libya.

Boehner and Eric Cantor are scum... they are NOT; conservatives, constitutionalists, small government advocates, etc. They are establishment elitists that sell us out to maintain their power positions, regardless whether the GOP party wins majorities or not.

We need to get them out of office. If I lived in Ohio, I'd vote Democrat against Boehner. These leaders are used to guaranteed support from within the GOP in solid-red areas, so hit we may have to hit them from the blindside. They can't be GOP leaders anymore if their seats are taken by the other party, right?. Yeah, it sucks to think about doing that, but we're really not getting any help from them if they stay. It won't really be any loss.

I'm giving serious thought to voting democrat in Georgia to get rid of Chambliss in 2014. The trouble is, this state is so red that democrats have essentially stopped trying, so there are NO options in most races.

Wrong thread..

Yeah and it'll take a generation or more for that to change, if ever,

As has already been noted, Secession.

-rep for calling Rand a traitor.

Rand is trying as hard as he can to save our asses; even ignorant ones.

 

[LibertyEagle]

and vote Libertarian party.

Why? Ron Paul has told us numerous times that 3rd parties will not work right now.

What really sucks is Boehner ran unopposed in his district, not even a Dem ran against him. His district is next to mine.
