Thomas Massie may delay the bailout... Congress livid with him
He wants to demand the roll call, while everyone else just wants to do a voice vote.

This eventuality occurred to me already, and it would be a much better situation for an independent Congressperson to spearhead this effort. No partisanship.
Anyway, go Massie! Lets face it, the establishment, the socialists, and the communists hate libertarians and fiscal conservatives more than anything. Many of the other partisan “battles” are Kabuki Theater. That hate will always be there. This stand will not change that one way or another.

The establishment in Congress plays games all day long, every day.
Yet when one Congressperson chooses to follow long established rules, the snowflakes break out in hysteria.
History will judge them.

Our boys are least popular during times of crisis.
Where is Amash? I believe he only voted "present" in last weeks vote, so he won't be hung by the electorate. While Massie voted no.

2. Devil21 - LARPing Wizard, fake magical script reader
3. Firestarter - Tax Troll; anti-tax = "criminal behavior"
4. TheCount - Comet Pizza Pedo Denier <-- sick
@Ehanced_Deficit's real agenda on RPF =troll:
Who spends this much time copy/pasting the same recycled links, photos/talking points.
7 yrs/25k posts later RPF'ers still respond to this troll

Thanks, Matt.
And thank you, Thomas Massie!!!!

Massie is making all the right enemies and exposing them
I hope he stays strong.
Massie & Paul are my two favorite representatives of course . I think Massie is missing some opportunity here by not telling everyone who will listen why he intends to vote no . Otherwise I am not sure he is really doing himself any favor in Ky. I would vote no too . I would have to . No way I could bring myself around to airline money .
Massie will do his talking on the House floor (if they let him)
Now that Trump has given his marching orders, prepare for his minions to go after Massie like they did Amash.
Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,--
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
I guess the Trump sycophancy hasn't paid off.
Yep. Trump hates opposition. They must be crushed. I'm surprised he hasn't turned against Rand yet.
Is there any delay here that isn't caused by pork barrel politicians trying to avoid going on the record with their votes?
What if he explained why and no one pointed a microphone at him?
I do not think any of them will mind going on record for the vote . So if that is it , wasted effort certainly .
This is too funny. Kerry hasn't forgotten that Massie made fun of his political 'science' degree.
Except they actually do seem to be scared to vote for it on the record.
And I don't blame them. Going on the record voting for this much corporatist pork because of a non-emergency like this one could bite them all in the ass.
John Kerry seems very Presidential.

These days he does. That bar is now low.
Yes, throw Massie out, he's far too good to be a REAL Republican. Thank you.
