Yeah, Jim Jordan, Labrador, Mulvaney (all good guys) voted for it..33 Republicans voted against the deal.

After looking into it, I guess it merely attempts to streamline FEMA's managerial role.Originally Posted by tsai3904
none of those would I consider 'ours' however. Liberty for all supported Kerry specifically as a Ron Paul supporter, I believe.
He may have a filtering system we will be relatively ok with once we know it. I want consistency, principles and character, and I don't know Kerry yet.

I think people should flood his Twitter Facebook with comments. Those within his district should email, call, etc.
Remember when Amash voted for the Israel aid bill, he got called out and Amash has since changed his view.
A couple of RINOs among them too, though.
Herrera Beutler is far from conservative.

If this was something other than the debt ceiling, it would be disappointing, but might cut him some slack. But voting to increase the debt is just unacceptable to me.
Personally, the whole debt ceiling crisis from 2011 is what turned me on to Ron Paul because he was the only one who took it seriously. Bentivolio's main campaign message was to reduce the debt and one of the first few votes he makes is to increase it. He's not even acting like a "Tea Party" candidate much less a "liberty" candidate. /vent
I suppose he could change his ways after grassroots blowback, but I get the feeling the establishment is singing all these great things in his ear.
This was definitely an awkard vote, RINOs voting no, good guys voting yes. And to the above comment, Amash voted Labrador for Speaker and Mulvaney has been an ally of ours endorsed by Tom Davis many times. This was more of a strategic vote than a policy vote. I wish they would have voted no, but let's see how committed they are to cutting spending when that fight inevitably comes.
I'm concerned that might be the case as well, and am used to Ron just standing firm. He might still be better than most when there is a chance, however. I just don't have anything to do about him for years yet, so I am going to figure him out over time. I am disappointed, though.

Bentonism is the playing down of Ron Paul’s most popular and important ideas, the impatience with and purging of people who champion those ideas, and an obsessive eye to GOP respectability. Is that what the “liberty movement” is? Then count me out. ~ Tom Woods
The guy is a moron. Remove forum and let this strange reindeer farmer lose his seat in two years and forget about him.
"No matter how noble you try to make it, your good intentions will not compensate for the mistakes that people make; that want to run our lives and run the economy, and reject the principles of private property and making up our own decisions for ourselves." - Ron Paul
