He stood against his own party to stand up for what he thought was right. Wow!

That sound you hear is the TEA party priming their sights. Those five republicans who voted with the Democrats are on borrowed time I'm afraid.

Not everyone agrees on how to fix the Nation's severe fiscal problems, obviously.
That is why we have representatives to hash it out.
But with the Senate refusing to engage in the give-and-take process, it is all rather pointless.
I think both parties are just plain off the reservation. But I like this congressman.

you're absolutely right! It's a shame the GOP won't work with the Dems to fix the problems that the GOP has created!
j/k

Surprised he did that before the primary. Does he have any TP opposition? He may have realized it's too late for them to get anything together.
It's a moot point. To listen to the whining you would think Barry Hussein and Harry Reid were also republicans. Republicans have a majority in only 1/3 of the legislative branch and medicare is broke. Do-nothing democrats stand in the sidelines and pretend they are bystanders instead of doing something about it. No surprises.

I like this move too.
Funny how some folks think this could hurt him in his GOP primary. Are you suggesting Republicans are required to toe the party line everytime or risk retribution?
But I do think this guy is in trouble with the party. When even Republicans start blowing the whistle on the GOP's dog and pony show... well ... that can't make the bosses happy. Be interesting to follow

Good for him
That whole "Obama's budget" bullshit was just that.

to the part in bold... er... yes.
it won't just "hurt him in the primary. it will cause him to get primaried.

Call me a dreamer, but I want to see the day when the courage to stand up to party pressure (either party) is rewarded by voters.
Why is it necessary for the GOP to always work with the Dems?? Why can't the Dems work with the GOP??
For too long the GOP has been spineless, they won't stand up to Dems. I'm hoping we get some newer blood on the GOP side. We've been kow towing to them for much too long.
Now Mitt won't let his superpac go after Obama personally even after they attack his wife, sons and him. He better stand up to Obama's superpacs or he doesn't have a chance.

Your certainly welcome to your interpretation, but I see things very differently.
IMHO There is far more evidence to support the conclusion that Republicans haven't been interested in working with anyone else for quite some time. They have been pursuing a strategy of sticking their fingers in their ears and screaming NO NO NO repeatedly until they get 100% of what they ask for.
And I saw the anti-Santorum ads Romney ran in Tennessee and Georgia. It was some of the slimiest campaigning I've ever seen.
I guess one defense is to accuse your opponent of what you are doing ... then maybe folks will give you a pass and just call it a draw.
I saw plenty of overtures from the Obama administration to include Republicans in crafting policy. Only to have the Republicans rebuff those efforts. When you invite a guy to dinner several times and he slaps you in the face everytime .... sooner or later you stop asking.
