…except for Cedric Richmond, who obviously was going to vote to re-open the government and fund Obamacare. Richmond is a Democrat, and a pretty left-wing one at that.
Oh, and Charles Boustany. Boustany was a yes-vote along with 86 other Republicans and 198 Democrats.
There were 144 Republicans, including Bill Cassidy, John Fleming and Steve Scalise, who voted against it.
Boustany voted for a $174,000 payout to the widow of dead Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who is worth $50 million dollars. He also voted for close to $3 billion in pork spending in Kentucky to help Mitch McConnell’s re-election effort.
Rodney Alexander used to be considered the biggest RINO of the Louisiana delegation. You’re welcome to come to whatever conclusion you want about who gets that dubious honor now.
But just remember that Boustany earlier today essentially accused Cassidy, Fleming and Scalise of not being real conservatives.
Wonder what they think of Boustany right now.
