"The conservative pressure groups have power because of their threatened ability to oust lawmakers who don't meet their standard.

"But now Boehner, Ryan, and the rest of the Republican leaders have defied them, essentially calling their bluff.

"Can they really exact revenge on three-quarters of the House Republicans?

"Or will they have to accept that they’re not in charge anymore?"

Boehner’s going to cost them the House.

Keep insulting your base, keep pushing Amnesty, that’s how you lose.

Wow! Speaker Boehner really does have a spine, and we thought he was a complete pushover. Now we know he’ll fight...conservatives.

Molly is so far-left that David Corn and Chris Matthews are thinking of adopting her.

So he’s actually able to hold a line when it’s against true conservatives? Interesting. Maybe he’s learning how to do it where it’s safe before he tries it on ideological enemies.

Washington is the problem, not the solution. The system corrupts them faster than we can vote them out. Only the state legislatures can save the country now.

Article V.

Boner has shown that he will fight. Fine.

Let my enemies stand against me in congress but I won’t vote for them.

Well, payback can’t happen until the mid-term election primaries. The author of this piece is engaged in counting un-hatched chickens.

Note to the American people: You have the power to throw every single member of the House of Representatives out of office in 2014, along with one third of the U.S. Senate. By 2018 you can, if you please, replace every single member of the Congress of the United States. Pretty much the same thing applies to your corrupted state legislatures.

That is all.
