7 sane Republicans in the House (at best)

[Mass]

That is by being large and counting as sane every body who did not vote for H J Res 99, disapproval of the President’s exercise of authority to suspend the debt limit, as submitted under section 1002(b) of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2014 on October 17, 2013

4 voted NO: Dent, Heck (NV), King, and shockingly Darryl Issa.

2 voted present: Massie and Ribble (I have to take Massie off the list as he voted against lifting the ceiling, so I am unsure what he objected to)

5 did not vote. (3 of those voted NO on debt ceiling, so unsane as well)

Every single other one, including quite a few who voted for the debt ceiling increase (some of whom are now called moderate, like Rigell). (Well Boehner did not vote, but the entire leadership voted for the bill).

[I refuse to count those who voted to sink the country as sane]

TPM has the list of the 79 Republicans who voted to disapprove their own vote.

1. A lot easier than counting the insane ones.

[gopiscrap]

2. OMG that's tragic and so dangerous for our country

[Mass]

3. Particularly as I am down to 7

4 of those who did not vote or voted present voted against the debt ceiling in the first place, so they cannot be called sane.

This is a limited pool of sane Republicans, I am afraid. If a YES vote is an effort to placate the Tea Party, I doubt it will work.

4. OMG who are the seven?

[Mass]

5. Dent, King, Heck, Issa and + Ribble + Hanna and Herrera Beutler.

I know Issa is shocking.

[gopiscrap]

6. Thanks I agree except for one:

Issa doesn't strike me as sane...

[Mass]

7. Me neither, but as I said, my only criteria here was debt ceiling.

[gopiscrap]

8. OK then I fully agree with you! THanks for pointing this out nto DU.
