Anyone who thought bockman was in it for anyone other than herself was misled.
bockman votes for bockman period.
Bachmann doesn’t surprise me as she is just an actress. Blackburn is an establishment chick, so not surprise there either. What really shocks me is Scott Garrett, who famously told uberdouche Tom DeLay to go f**k himself on the House floor after DeLay left the Medicare Part D vote open for 2 extra hours to bribe and threaten every resisting member on the floor. Why battle the establishment pigs like that only to bend over for a Boner? I don’t get it.
Good Lord, the world isn't coming to an end. Politicians respond to pressure...maybe not immediately, but eventually it all comes crashing down around them if they don't listen to the people.
What kind of legislation do you think we would have had if PELOSI or WASSERMAN-Schmuck had been Speaker??
Do I wish more had been done? YES.
Do I think the world is coming to an end? NOPE.
Is Obama the enemy of our freedom? YES.
Is Boehner the enemy of our freedom? NO.
HELP! We must contact those Conservatives who voted and find out what happened....

Who else were they supposed to vote for. No one else was running. If no one wanted the position enough to campaign for it then why should any vote for them.
The fact that Michelle was one of the votes absolutely breaks my heart.
We are alone.
It really doesn’t matter any more. We have a terribly dysfunctional government led by dysfunctional elected officials who were put there by a dysfunctional electorate.
No surprise. The useless and feckless gop gets the leadership it needs and deserves.
FORWARD.
Why is anybody surprised????????????????????
They only have morals and backbone when they need votes.
Boehner got picked again because there was no alternative. Pelosi would be a worse disaster.
The only way to change the political dynamic is to start a third party, one with no baggage.
No real conservative would ever vote for the weeping Boner.
Marsha Blackburn is my representative and it’s time for her to go. She’s all hat and no cattle.
I was watching the vote on CSPAN and it looked to me like the conservative GOP was sending Tammy Faye a warning. Waiting til the last minute to finally shift a couple more votes his way. I hope he got the picture.
Any word on the other 217 folks who voted for him?
People shouldn’t be so hard on Bachmann and other conservatives for their vote for Bonehead. There was the very REAL possibility that Pelosi could have been elected had the Republican vote been split. How would that have worked out for us?
Blackburn looked so strong the other day when a reporter was asking her questions as she was walking along.
She was asked about supporting Obama’s agenda/bills and she said *we sent two bills to the senate, they need to vote on them* (paraphrased)
Our political system is such a sham, anything Reid doesn’t like he won’s allow a vote on.
They would look bad when a good bill is defeated.
So the republicans cave to Reid, the senate, and Obama.
And the other in that foursome, Boehner.
The republicans should have said that they won’t act on any bill messed over by Obama and Reid until the ones they sent to the senate are voted on.
Just a thought....... anyone consider that no one wants the speakers job? I can’t imagine a more miserable, thankless job than Boehner’s. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t and all the while having to deal with reprobates like Obama, the MSM and the entire Democrat party.
You want a “good” speaker? Elect a good president and good senate. In this poisonous political environment, the best we can hope for is obstructionism.
I’d suggest we get busy right now working on the 2014 elections.
So you split the vote and Nancy Pelosi wins the Speakership....
that is why they voted for Boner.
anything else is cutting off ones nose to spite ones face.
what the Republicans needed to do was to vote amongst themselves to pick a leader then stand by that in the whole house vote. perhaps that is what they did.
I am personally VERY disappointed in Michele Bachmann.
