law makers following the billionaires not the people who voted them into office
Maryland’s Rep. Steny Hoyer says he believes 140 to 160 of the 232 House Republicans “think what’s being done right now is irrational.” Hoyer tells MSNBC Monday these lawmakers are “looking over their shoulders” at potential tea party challenges.
Hoyer said GOP friends have told him privately that they don’t understand the uncompromising position taken by the more conservative members of their caucus, lawmakers who have fallen into line with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and others.
Hoyer said the partial government shutdown now in effect is different from past closures “because this is a tactic. This is not a result of the inability to get an agreement.”
Sound off!
Do you think Moderate Republicans are afraid of Tea Partiers?
Yes, I do.
No, I don't.
Whatever. They need to stop the foolishness and stop the shutdown.
