WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- There is a "political rebellion" going on in America that the Republican Party is hoping to speak for, the U.S. House minority leader says.
Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, speaking Sunday on CNN's "State of Union," said an incident in which a GOP-endorsed New York congressional candidate withdrew from an election under pressure from Republican conservatives showed that "we're in the middle of a political rebellion going on in America."
Boehner said, "This rebellion are by people who really have not been actively involved in the political process. And they don't really care whether you're a Democrat or a Republican. They want to see people who are going to stand up and protect the future for our kids and grandkids."
The House candidate, Dede Scozzafava, who'd been chosen by local Republican leaders to try to hold the seat of now-U.S. Army Secretary John McHugh for the GOP, was attacked by Republican presidential hopefuls Sarah Palin and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty as not sufficiently conservative.
Scozzafava on Sunday threw her support not to Conservative Party candidate Bill Hoffman but to Democratic candidate Bill Owens, the Washington publication The Hill reported.

Let’s see if they really get the message.
It’s a time for choosing — and so far, the GOP has chosen very, very badly.
Yep, they better get the message or they’re going to find themselves sitting in the middle of the mud puddle with the democratic encumbents we’re fixing to throw out of there!
My, what must that piece of sh!t Newt be thinking now?
Of course he wants to co-op the rage.
While all you freepers are blaming Newt and DeDe,
Bohnior and his other 4 Gangsters will be playing u.
NOT! He also started that tripe about the big tent routine just to make sure he didn’t piss off any of his Wall St donors.
Obama was right in saying we were five days away from fundamentally changing this country. The only thing he didn’t figure on was the tranformational change was going to be instituted by the 40% of citizens who call themselves Conservatives.
Boehner and the rest of the RINO Party establishment are running scared!
They will get the message only to a point.
All the current office holders like him are political opportunists and will say anything to keep themselves in their jobs.
They can not be trusted under ANY circumstances and ALL must be voted out of their offices.
For those who say that maybe they have learned their lesson; most of their ilk are still RINOs and will turn on us. Since we are near the precipice, the Nation can not afford to give any of them the benefit of the doubt. They all must be replaced with real conservatives.
Boehner; We uh, understand your frustration, and uh, thank you for participating in the process, but uh, we’ll take it from here.” Oh yeah Bonehead, well get out of the way or you’re next!
You don’t have a clue how conservative John Boehner is and how hard he has tried to make sure the GOP stays together in the House. He is fighting the battle day in and day out and doing a whole lot more then a lot of people that want to shoot off their mouths on what the GOP is doing wrong.
Third parties don’t own the Tea Party movement but for your information there are a lot of Republican conservatives in the movement who are sick and tired of 3rd party people telling the GOP what to do and you are talking to one.
I have more respect for people that are from the 3rd parties and admit it then I do a bunch of people on here that cannot say anything good about Republicans who are working hard to try and keep healthcare from passing while behind criticized for not doing enough.
Disgusting to keep hearing that I used to be a Republican when they didn’t stay and try to change from in or they are not going to vote for someone who is not pure enough.
They aren’t going to take control, they’ve had their chance and screwed things up big time!
Would you have the video clip of that handy?
If not, i’ll find it and post here.
scared Rinos
My sentiments exactly.
scared Rinos
correction: over 60-70% and we own all of the guns in private hands. Liberals: read the tea leaves, you are history!
