    Dudes, "Get Your Ass In Line" (none / 0) (#3)
    by Corinthian Scales on Fri Jul 29, 2011 at 08:29:13 AM EST
    C'mon now, you're just not sounding like you're a Party establishment faithful.  Where's the love for Weeper, err, Speaker Boehner?  LOL

    Anywho, the latest fish wrap.com published rundown...

    A windsock...

    Walberg, R-Tipton, is undecided on how he will vote, said his chief of staff, Joe Wicks.

    Rather shocked on this one...

    Freshman Rep. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, has not indicated how he will vote.

    A bumbling caved in windsock playing to the crowd on Facebook...

    This evening, Boehner picked up the support of Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, who was unsure of how he'd vote earlier in the day.

    "While I believe the new Budget Control Act does not go nearly far enough in reducing spending, I support it because this plan reflects my firm commitment to overall government spending caps and a balanced budget amendment," Huizenga said in a statement issued shortly after 5 p.m.

    This morning, the tea party-backed lawmaker from Michigan's 2nd District was on CBS's Early Show to discuss his consternation over the bill. After making no commitments on air, Huizenga asked his constituents via Facebook whether he should vote for or against the bill.

    I'd rather have his Facebook votes than his kind of leadership.

    My Rep.?  Dammit!  Doctor Dan, I was just getting to know ya, but you've f#@%ed up twice now...

    Another Michigan freshman congressman, Dan Benishek, R-Crystal Falls, also threw his support behind the Boehner bill. He was expected to vote no, but this morning seemed to be softening less than a day after Boehner reportedly told GOP conservatives to "get your a-- in line" behind his bill.

    Benishek's change of heart stemmed from a desire to not vote in line with Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

    WTF!?!?  So what!  So, former Speaker Blinky gets this vote right.  That's why you object?

    "The speaker's plan is not everything we need," Benishek, who also has support from tea party followers, wrote to followers on his Facebook page, "but the other options are far worse."

    I call bullsh!t, Doctor Dan.  You pulled the same crap with Big Gummint spending before.  At least Stupak voted against raising the Debt Ceilings when guys like Hoekstra wouldn't.  Hello?  Obama spending isn't part of your teams platform, Doctor Dan.  Block it.  Vote No.  I'll be your best ally.  Don't?  You've lost me forever.

    The rest gets more disgusting from here...

    More established Michigan Republicans were throwing their support behind the Boehner plan, too.

    Rep. Dave Camp, R-Midland, who chairs the lower chamber's Ways and Means Committee, led the GOP in a late afternoon floor debate on the bill.

    "Congress must act to cut spending and get our budget under control," he said. "The bill does that." Camp also defended the Boehner plan's short-term increase, which would set up another debt ceiling battle for next year, right in the middle of the presidential election, noting 22 of the past 31 debt limit increases were for less than a year.

    Plus, Camp noted, the bill could be "our last chance."

    Ya, "last chance" to guarantee a genuine Democrat president his second term in office.

    A spokeswoman for Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Livonia, the 11th District congressman who's in the midst of a long-shot bid for the White House, confirmed he'll be a "yes" vote behind the Boehner plan.

    Speaking on the floor of the House, McCotter said "we have before us a plan that can work. It is not a perfect plan; people on both sides of the aisle have their qualms with it."

    Boehners' Plan sucks, so the union puppet Thesaurus McCotter will vote for it anyway.  Yep, he's too limpd!ck to run against Sen. Stabenow with his voting record, but brazen enough to run his mouth on a bogus presidential campaign book peddling tour using his PAC monies.  And the current MI-GOP protected McCotter's District, why?

    Not so much as a peep out of Comrade Fred Upton's corner.  I'm so shocked.

    These damn Republicans are no different than the Democrats.

    Mark Levin was right.

    Between career Boehner and John "Blame the TEA Party" McAmnesty... they will give Obama his second term on a silver platter.
