Idaho’s Rep. Walt Minnick, who voted against Obamacare but refuses to back its repeal, has come up with yet another excuse to confuse his constituents.
A caller to his office was told yesterday that Minnick has a policy of not signing “discharge petitions.”
That is fascinating news, because it was only last year, on September 23, 2009, that Minnick signed just such a discharge petition in support of a requirement that all bills receive at least 72 hours of public availability before they can be voted on.
Walt Minnick doesn’t have a policy of not signing discharge petitions, unless he conveniently just established one. Minnick simply does not stand for full repeal of Obamacare.
For a member who claims to be bipartisan, signing these petitions (to literally force bills out of committee where they are being blocked by Democrats) is the only way to work with Republicans to force votes on key issues. And Walt Minnick wants no part of it.

I do not understand
Conservative Phantom Wednesday, September 29th at 9:57AM EDT (link)how you can write this article without mentioning that Minnick is the Democrat and that his opponent is Raul Labrador.
Labrador, by the way, could really use some campaign funds to defeat this clod.

Mr. Obama is pretending that an economic “recovery” is underway when he knows damn well that the banking system is just blowing smoke up the shredded *** of what’s left of that economy – James Howard Kunstler

chabsentia Friday, October 1st at 11:57AM EDT (link)The Democrats have 258 out of 435 members in the House. there is 217 votes needed for passage of Legislation or preventing it. They let 217 vote for it and the others in the 38 most vulnerabel districts are allowed to vote the wishes of the people. Why is it so hard to see why Minnick voted no?
