Representative Judas?

Demookie.com posted this this week: "Mike Reynolds, who voted "present" during the Lance Cargill vote for Speaker may be "banished" by the GOP House Caucus. Sources close to the story indicate that Reynolds hasn't been playing ball very well. He had the audacity to question some "questionable" election funding during this past cycle. GOP operatives have been sniffing in the Democrat Cloakroom and dropping hints of the "banishment vote". We are not sure whether this is just a threat to "send a message" to Reynolds, or a "warning of things to come", however, the questions regarding illegal campaign financing should become more interesting after the final ethics campaign contribution reports are filed in the next few weeks. More to follow" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sources tell OKPNS that there isn't any questionable election funding as the Demookie.com story claims. Election activity on the part of House Republicans had been heavily vetted by multiple attorneys - including a former US attorney. As for the "banishment" rumors, Rep. Reynolds violated a major caucus rule: everyone MUST vote for the Caucus choice for Speaker on the floor. Reynolds blatantly broke that rule, and the punishment is very clear: expulsion. He can be reinstated at any time. OKPNS has learned that "there are more than enough votes to throw him out for his treachery." Posted at 1/25/2007 07:58:00 AM
