Stutzman says he switched his vote on the floor because House GOP leadership—again, he doesnt name anyone: whether it was Boehner himself, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Majority Whip Steve Scalise or an aide—promised him that if the rule passed, the cromnibus would be replaced by a short-term spending measure. This Continuing Resolution (CR) would last until early next year when the newly elected GOP majority in the Senate takes over. “Earlier today, I supported the Rule because I was informed by Leadership that the CROmnibus was dead and a short term CR would take its place,” Stutzman said in the statement. “I was very surprised and even more disappointed to see the CROmnibus back on the floor. The American people deserve better.” breitbart/Big-Government/2014/12/12/Questions-Surround-Indiana-Republican-s-Claim-Leadership-Duped-Him-Into-Securing-Obama-Boehner-Cromnibus-Package
