Oh, Great. Somebody Broke the Rule.

    And that rule would be…?

    “The first rule of Fight Club is – you don’t talk about Fight Club.”

    Erick spilled the beans, along with lists of who voted against Speaker Boehner’s rule for the continuing resolution (and thus voted to defund Obamacare) just an hour or so ago. Nine of these gentlemen also voted against Boehner in reelection to the Gavel. There may be hope yet.

    The ten members of the Conservative Fight Club are:
    – Amash
    – Bridenstine
    – Broun
    – Gohmert
    – Huelskamp
    – Jones
    – Massie
    – Pearce
    – Salmon
    – Yoho

    Standing with them were:

    – Brooks
    – Fleming
    – Gingrey
    – Kingston
    – McClintock
    – Rohrabacher

    Some of those names are surprising, especially in consideration of the upcoming run for the Senate seat.

    Exit question: Where was Price?

      Once again the AJC has proven themselves inept in identifying what is newsworthy and what is not.

      You told us you’d say that…

      What are you referring to Harry?

      Since this thread is concerned with a national issue. I’m referring to the fact that as of 4 pm there is no mention of the filibuster that has been underway all day. Oh of course, it’s just Rand Paul and a few of his buddies…but the way is prepared to kill US citizens in the US with drones with zero due process. The 4th and 5th Amendments are just technicalities. Obama and Holder feel that they have have no accountability to anyone, and the AJC ignores it.

      Harry March 6, 2013 at 5:44 pm

      Sorry, as of the present time there is still no mention of the ongoing filibuster by the AJC.

      Definitely a liberal plot

      Harry March 6, 2013 at 6:35 pm

      Definitely an inept plot.

      The Republicans voting against the CR certainly got permission to do so only after the Democrat vote was “whipped” for enough of them to crossover and vote for the bill. Had this not occured, Kingston, Gingrey, and Broun would have all voted “Yea” for the legislation.

      Where was Price? You mean the Price that the Speaker had just named Vice-Chair of Ryan’s Budget Committee? Voting with the Speaker, people.

      And please…this isn’t the “conservative” list. The other 200+ Republicans are conservative. These are the political opportunists that are looking to continue our party’s fruitless drift off their flat Earth as they look to campaign for higher office.
