1. Anyone got the count..or should we just wait -

[WhiteTara]

2. I think he's number 6

should be interesting how many decide to stay home. Their pensions are great, they can sit at home and do as much as they are now and get paid and maybe we can get real representation.

[Me.]

3. 9

by my count

[WhiteTara]

6. They're dropping like flies!

Thanks for the update! Maybe we'll take over by attrition and all this will move to the Senate? Be nice.

[Me.]

7. ...

now the Senate!

Ps. Here's the list

Rep. Rob Bishop
Rep. Susan Brooks
Rep. Mike Conaway
Rep. Will Hurd
Rep. Paul Mitchell
Rep. Pete Olsen
Rep. Martha Roby
Rep. Rob Woodall
Rep. Upton

8. Now it's up to 12 another one gone this afternoon!

[Me.]

9. 216 More & We'll Have A House Full Of Dems

4. About time.

I cannot recall a time he supported his run-of-the-mill constituency
over his wealthy and powerful supporters.

5. He's as useless as tits on a boar.

Hopefully this isn't just a rumor.
