DES MOINES - During a delay for a point of order in debate on H.F. 525 to restrict collective bargaining, House Republicans were caught off guard by a live microphone discussing House Study Bill 219 which would allow Iowans to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.

The Des Moines Register has published a transcript of the conversation between the House Republicans:

Rep. Dave Deyoe, R-Nevada, explains the problem.

Rep. Jeff Kaufmann, R-Wilton: I bet nobody's told poor Jorgenson.

Rep. Steve Lukan, R-New Vienna: I told him this is all his own fault.

Kaufmann: Tell him it's his fault and we don't appreciate anything that he's done up to this point.

Lukan: Damnit, Ron, we're going to yank you off this bill.

Kaufmann: Ya, the hell with you. You haven't been doing jack s�.

Rep. Erik Helland, R-Johnston: What?

Kaufmann: Jorgenson, we're yanking him off the bill. The hell with him. He hasn't been doing anything.

Lukan: He should have seen this coming.

Helland: You know what that means? It means I'm going to end up stuck with the bill?

Kaufmann: Sounds like you're getting out of the Alaska bill.

Helland: Oh yeah, I'm getting out of it after I end up on a blog.

Lukan: The Alaska bill -- what's the Alaska bill?

Helland. I'm the dirty hatchet man for the caucus. Something nobody wants to do. Some dirty, nasty job. I'm the one who gets dropped in you know why, 'cause I'm expendable.

Kaufmann: The crazy, give-a-handgun-to-a-schizophrenic bill.

if any of those guys ever end up on the GOP presidential ticket, Alaska instantly becomes a swing state. The "Schizophrenic Gun Guy" vote is huge up here.

2. 'cause I'm expendable

Interesting... I've been saying such things since McCain announced his candidacy for POTUS.

They have no respect for the American people, not even those we see as tools carrying GOTP dirty water.

4. we're the fly on the wall..

interesting little insight on how bills are discussed and how things really work when they think their little good ole' boys innersanctum is nice and snug.

I think what's really interesting is that these Reeps don't seem to be too thrilled about having to support a right to conceal handgun bill.

I thought that was a major party litmus tests. But listening to this exchange, with the quotes transcribed, I'm beginning to have my doubts.

Oh and btw, did anyone else's gay-dar sound off during the exchange w/Helland explained his role as the hatchet man?

6. play it, play it, play it.

Don't stop playin' it and when talkin' about it connect it with all slimy repub-thugs who have no respect even for their "supporters".
Oh, they will respect the big bucks fascist bagmen, but they are using the common hard working citizen. Ha this is fantastic footage.
"The crazy, give-a-handgun-to-a-schizophrenic bill" Fan frickin'tastic.

8. So, another lying, clueless Republican.

This is news?

And the legislation is not, of course, anything like what he's whinging about.

11. My rep.

Hi Jeff.
I didn't start this one. You did.
And I am worried since I have had death threats.
Since we know you lurk, how about some sense on this one?
