Why did Justin Amash vote for H.R. 4133?

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Dingell?

Interestingly, Amash posted about him having an interesting conversation with Dingell the other day.

He has been in office since 1955, and if he stays in Congress by June 8th of next year he will be the longest serving member of Congress in history.

wow...

 

[Michigan11]

wow...

The positive: When he retires, we slip in a liberty candidate and take the next 55


edit: 57?

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

wow...

Oh yeah, and isn't Amash the youngest in Congress?

Murdering Palestinian babies is the ONLY way to salvation according to evangelical Jesus. Can you just feel the Christian love?

Let me get this straight...

Amash has been with us on SOPA, CISPA, the NDAA, and the Patriot Act...

He opposed a bill involving sanctioning Iran. He opposed a resolution that was one-sided in favor of Israel against the Palestinians...

He has never voted to raise the debt ceiling. He has fought tirelessly for a balanced budget amendment...

He's the most open and transparent representative ever, explaining all of his votes on his Facebook page...

And yet, before we even hear his explanation for this vote, some people on this forum are ready to throw him under the bus as a puppet for a special interest group? Are you kidding me? That kind of mindset will keep the liberty movement from ever succeeding on an even bigger scale than Ron Paul.

That's correct!

That's largely because his district is protected.

No, second youngest.

 

[Galileo Galilei]

There's a good chance Amash won't be re-elected, as he is not serving the establishment. Hope the haters are satisfied.

 

[Galileo Galilei]

only 2 votes nay? So if Amash had voted against it, it would have been 410-3. Sounds to me like Amash may have duped the neocons.

Let me keep going...

He voted against the budget and sequester replacement because the GOP refused to reduce military spending...

He voted to withdraw troops from Afghanistan...

He AUTHORED the amendment to defund the Libya war...

Yes, this sounds like a guy whose principles we should still be questioning.

It isn't as much the establishment as it is seniority. Amash is the new kid on the block, so the redistricting affected him more than most. You know, if he's a savvy politician, he'll be able to win some Dems over on his civil rights record, and he'll win re-election.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Justin has been amazing. I sure hope we help him when he runs for reelection. It would be a sad day for our movement if he lost.

Yet no one cares about the "United States-United Kingdom Enhanced Security Cooperation Act"...

Stop being a liar.

The only way to salvation is accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Out with the Louis Farrakhan propaganda.

Who is ready to throw him under the bus?

The people who try to silence any criticism and questions about our "liberty candidates" are just as bad as the establishment and their establishment candidates. GTFO.

Yes, and Jesus said to support the Israeli murder of Palestinian babies.

Out with the Louis Farrakhan propaganda

What's a Louis Farrakhan?

 

[Brett85]

"Assisting in the defense of Israel" could simply mean selling weapons to them, which is just a form of free trade. This particular bill doesn't necessarily authorize any foreign aid from what I can see. So why should Justin have voted "no" on this?
