Is Boehner trying to look like he's reining in the baggers? Justin Amash (MI-3) was just booted
off of the Budget Committee. Amash is not going to like that. Local TV8 news says it's an effort to get everyone in line ahead of tax hikes. We'll see. I despise Amash and was really disappointed when the Republican morans re-elected him despite the ex-chair of the Kent County Republican Party endorsing the Democrat. The Democrat, Steve Pestka, is a real deep Blue Dog. Republicans would vote for a cadaver as long as it had an "R" after his or her name. In fact, I think they did a while back. Oh well, babysteps, right?
