and we are supposed to support and vote for this party?
There are a few flying Boehner monkeys on FR who will try to tell you this is completely untrue, and nothing of this sort has happened ever on Boehner’s watch—when it’s his regular MO.
We freepers need to create a full account of all the Tea Party people who have either been redistricted out, or marginalized in office. It is seriously disconcerting. We can start here in Florida with Allen West and Sandy Adams...both bold conservatives who were standing for principle over party. The freshmen who got to Washington and while conservative are bending to the leadership still stand. The story here that other freshmen like David Shweikert in AZ lost their committees for no reason.
the GOP apparently is looking for a third party challenge, becasue this is outrageous.
Of course they are. Their aim seems to run parallel to the dems, but to stay in office they have to put on their little shows now and again.
And most of the so called TEA party candidates were phony - they used the conservatives to get elected only to become good little Rino’s as soon as they got into office.
Republicans are on the path to the same dark place as the dems.
And they are going to keep it up until we are gone.
So, as others have asked .... why do we support the GOP?
Does anyone know if it only requires a simple majority to select the Speaker?
Don’t know how close we are to having 51% with a brain and attachments, but if we have a shot, we better take it pretty soon. The Crybaby ain’t getting no better.
However, we did bust down Bolling, Romney's buddy who fixed the primary so nobody else could run ~ but if we have to then Cantor goes into the skillet for a time.
Other than having Democrats take pot shots at his office, what has Cantor done for us ~ is he carrying his weight?
Yeah I know, it wouldn't do any good. The blind masses across the nation would just re-elect them.
A “diarist” on DailyKos has been insisting for years that Boner is carrying on an affair with a lobbyist. Let’s find out and expose it, if true. It’s time to do whatever it takes to force this vile creep out of the Speaker’s chair.
Doesn’t the entire House have to vote for Speaker?
Aren’t there nough humans there to dump this scumbag Boehner into the sea?
Who is the 2nd paragraph about?
It looks like Mick Mulvaney is taking Schweikert’s spot. I dont know much about him, but it looks like he is in the Tea Party Caucus.
They’re ALL complicit in the United Nations takeover of our government. IMPEACH 0BAMA AND OVERTHROW THE INSURGENT GOVERNMENT!!!
NOW I hope everyone on this site understands what the GOPe wants from the so called grass roots pubbies. They want us to STFU and stay out of them becoming more Socialist but fully expect us to vote for them! This is the very reason they did a circular firing squad on AKINS and wanted him out no matter what! Grrrrrrr.
It’s time for a Conservative Party. Since the republican elites caused us to lose this election, and since we have nothing else to lose, we might as well form a new party, if for nothing else than to prevent the republican elites from ever winning again. I mean we have lost the country so what else are we afraid of? I feel like striking out at anyone who caused this mess, liberals, republican country club elites, hollywood, those of the 47% who sit on their tails and do nothing, and the main stream media. I never expect the republicans to be in power again. This was our last chance and we failed. The only comfort I can imagine now is to give the ones who caused this all the hell I can. A third party? I’m game....calling Sarah Palin
Good. Let Boner own this.
Cantor strikes me as a POS.
There are those of us here who warned against surrender to these people from the beginning. Conservatives are no longer welcome in the Republican Party except for their votes, which are now expected as a matter of rote.
As long as we have people who willing to ‘vote for the R’, the ‘R’ will continue to pull this crap. It’s time to go.
