Discussion: GOP Rep. Resigns From Freedom Caucus After Obamacare Repeal Fails

What’s more pathetic. Resigning from a stupid ā€˜caucus’ that stands for nothing but goodies for the wealthy or joining it in the first place?

And, the fact you backed that stupid bill shows you don’t have the grey matter to lead anything.

I see his second district in Texas cracked 60% for Republicans in the last four presidential elections,. He looks like a malevolent S.O.B.; Houston can keep him!

Baby steps. First you throw tantrums, then mommy shows you there’s nothing to be gained by such behavior, then mommy asks you to model good behavior for your siblings, then you start learning to lead. Here’s an idea, how about Republicans elect people who completed the standard child developmental stages prior to running?

just a weak attempt to say ā€œdont blame meā€.

this so called freedom caucus would make the Nazi SS blush.

interesting to me would be knowing what % of them rely on the cock brothers for their marching orders because it appears the lines are being drawn between their puppets and the mercer puppets.

and…not that it concerns me but remember bannon and pence and kellyanne also now the son in law…are all mercer people…who are in hand to hand combat with the priebus people about who is not protecting the head puppets image enough as they argue who is ā€œleakingā€ all the negative stuff.

would make a good spy novel…since an incompetent clueless guy could easily be manipulated to undermine himself by a rouge staff…who had that as their intention all along.

Mental giant.

Leaves a group that had both suppporters and opponents of the bill, so that he would have the flexibility to be a supporter of the bill, because it was just too darn important to pass a bill that would have crashed and burned in the Senate.

Why after all it had the full support of 17% of the voting population.
I mean who’s not against punishing poor people?
Make the fuckers suffer, it builds character!

The demographics in his district must be real interesting

This dude must be a descendant of Edgar Allan Poe, he’s macabre and dark, without being literary.

Real reason: His gerrymandered district had the highest percentage of Trump votes in 2016. Ted never does anything on principle. He’s covering his own ass against backlash from the Trumpanzees.

When Poe was a judge and you were found guilty of, say, theft in his court, Judge Poe might order you to walk around the business you had tried to steal from with a sign that described your crime. Perhaps we can repay him by making him walk around the Capitol with a sign reading, ā€œI have been a member of the Freedom Caucus. I am stupid. I am sorry.ā€ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Poe

Shorter Ex Freedom Caucus Idiot: I will rejoin the caucus the day a Democrat president is elected. Or Republican lose house majority. We must always cave to Republican POTUS even if he is a Kremlin appointee.

Poe’s law:

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won’t mistake for the genuine article.

A sad day for the Freedom Caucasians.

And it took you eight years to realize you were not elected to just say no… and in spite of past practices these weak links get re elected.

It wouldn’t work in a fiction novel… to bizarre and folks wouldn’t relate to the book!

Not to mention would have ā€œcrashed and burnedā€ many households!

Dismembering the Freedom Caucus is alright by me.
