These folks in Washington deserve to be mocked and derided as our enemies. General George S. Patton told us how to deal with enemies by 'giving them hell all the time'.
I will not cease being disgusted with the Republican Party (95 plus percent of it) and denying them my vote and deriding them in this forum and anywhere else I can.
That’ll show ‘em………...
Who is your choice for speaker?
-— ‘saw the light’ -—
you are wrong in your interpretation
the conservatives did not see the light, they were forced to the understanding that there was only one congressman with adequate support to be elected speaker. that candidate happened to be the conservative Paul Ryan who apparently really didn’t want the job. Ryan is not the extreme right some wanted but he was the best they could get.
what took place or rather is taking place, is applied politics 101. power springs from available votes.
none of the extreme conservatives came any where near the threshold for real contention.
The English word, a noun having eight letters, starts with an "I" and ends with a "Y".
Also: Words are not Actions, and Actions are not Results, (e.g., that Up-State boob Gowdy, and Issa before him).
And remember: You Never Get the Time Back.
Be mindful of the massive opportunity cost WE, OUR children, OUR grandchildren, OUR great grandchildren, ..., etc., NOW CONFRONT.

Paul Ryno claims it’s a new day in Congress, but it’s just another day of cramulous GOPee dumping on Americca.
Dude, what’s “telephone wire”?
;~)
The Freedom Caucus gave us a fitting successor to Mr. Boehner. Why did they bother to dump Boehner in the first place? unless it was to make the Democrats’ Republican Speaker of the House even more powerful and untouchable?
Including now the Freedom Caucus. We have NO friends in Washington.
Dear WSJ Editors:
Obama’s full budget was passed by all House Democrats, supported by just enough of the Republican “Leadership” including Ryan and Boehner, with the approval of Paul Gigot’s Wall Street Journal Editorial Page, and in spite of the opposition of the vast majority of the Republican caucus and every conservative of note.
Nobody has credibly claimed that conservatism won anything, so this is not compromise. Republican “Leadership” did not complain that they were forced, so this is not even capitulation.
The masks are off at the Halloween Ball, and approving all of Obama’s budget demonstrates that Obama, Boehner, Ryan and Gigot are all leaders of the pro-government liberal Uniparty.
Ryan and Cryin’
Ryan is nominated as speaker ‘of the people’s House.’
==
Funny how they forget that ‘people’s’ part 5 seconds after they say ‘I do’.
==
Dems nominate Pelosi. She gushes as the camera pans toward her. She is being credited with breaking the gridlock to get the budget bill passed.
==
Too bad ‘none of the above’ was nominated.
It will soon be back to politics as usual. Conservatives will feel the wrath of the GOPEstablish.
Thank you for your input. Rest assured we will give it all the consideration it so richly deserves.
