"SNIP.................................


So who are those hardliners? To compile this list, we started with a roster that the Senate Conservatives Fund, a group aligned with Ted Cruz, created of representatives who were allied with them. We cross-checked it with the list of members who signed an August letter by Rep. Mark Meadows demanding that Boehner use a shutdown as a threat to defund Obamacare, and against other public statements this week. It's not a comprehensive roll — there’s no official “wacko bird” caucus that keeps a register — but it's a window into the small but powerful group of men and women in the House of Representatives who brought the federal government to a standstill.

Representative: Justin Amash

Home District: Grand Rapids, Michigan

Quoted: “President Obama and Senator Reid refuse to negotiate over giving regular Americans the same breaks they give themselves, government workers, and big business.”

1. South

The majority, with a sprinking of MidWest, are from the Deep South. Hey, guys, you not only lost this one, you also lost the CIVIL WAR, more than a hundred years ago. No, the South is not going to rise again.

2. It might be time for the Dept of Justice to act.

I think that this is the best time for the Department of Justice to start writing arrest warrants for conspiracy to commit treason. Let's start the Boehner and end with Limbaugh. There might be a hundred names on that list. There is tons of evidence including news videos.
