His problem isn’t with GOP’ers in Congress. It’s with GOP’ers in the Kansas population. They got a dose of what he had to offer and declined a second helping. He was rejected by the people he represents.

“Defeated Freedom Caucus Member”, “crushing primary defeat”, GLORIOUS!

Makes me want to sing…

Amazing Grace, how sweet the vote,
That screwed a wretch like you.
You once were found, but now you’ve lost,
Still blind, as far as we can see.

“Trust is built over a series of promises kept, and we are still trying to figure out what promises were kept, but we are very worried about a lame duck because what we saw under Speaker Boehner and what we fear under Speaker Ryan they are going to come back and do things the American people don’t want to do,” Huelskamp said

He has just been rejected as a representatitve for said American people…

It seems like the American people did what they wanted to do when they voted him out. What a tea tool.

Dear **EX-**Representative Huelskamp

The usually delusional, and rarely astute, Kansas electorate has spoken.

Republicans can’t govern. If they can’t agree among themselves, how can they negotiate with the Democrats? If Americans want a working government, they need to throw republicans out of Congress.

He certainly isn’t speaking from a position of strength.

I don’t know what he has to bitch about. Some of my relatives were his constituents. They tossed him because he didn’t do what they wanted him to do, represent them on the Ag Committee. If you are hired to do a job and don’t do it, don’t complain when you find yourself looking for a different job.

“It’s leadership’s fault. They decided not to move appropriations bills through so here we are in September having to do a CR. Why? Don’t forget it’s because they didn’t do the full appropriations,” Huelskamp said. “It’s what Boehner did. What’s the difference?”


Along the way, they enacted a landmark health care law and a sweeping overhaul of Wall Street rules, bookended by a $787 billion economic stimulus package at the start of 2009 and an $858 billion tax-cut package at the end of 2010.

It was a dizzying, maddening, agonizing, exhilarating, arduous, bruising and, for scores of Democrats, ultimately career-ending journey from the stimulus to Start — and the party paid a devastating price for its accomplishments, losing control of the House and six Senate seats.

just a reminder

I don’t want an omnibus package passed during a lame duck because Huelskamp has already been held accountable by the public and they canned his little kool-aid beard ass, so he ought not go be a part of it.

You tell’em, Tim! Make sure the House Freedom Caucus blocks that CR and shuts down the government before letting it pass.

Who cares if it’s right before an election? You’re out anyway. May as well take a final stand on the budget, and make those last few months count for something meaningful.

The Freedom Caucus believes they are free to screw us anyway they can.
