Yup...the lobbyists would always be upset about conservative government. They are the enemy as much as liberals are.
The Chamber of Commerce GOPe will find that there aren’t enough millionaire voters to win elections. However, they are fortunate in that Democrat politicians are always open to bribes.
The money men might be happy with Boehner but the informed voting base is not. Good luck buying enough votes to offset an angry and motivated base. It seems that DC corridor is the only reality these power brokers care about.
Boehner’s sudden acquisition of a pair of balls against the wishes of real conservatives in this country is a pyric victory that will cause him to lose his party’s dominance of the senate, and a very likely chance of him losing his speakership.
I, for one, have NO allegiance to the GOP now, and I am irrevocably aligned with a scorched earth approach to the GOPe and RINOs. I do not care if they keep the House now. We have been betrayed, and cannot possibly hope to believe those second-tier appeasers will ever do the right thing again. Let it burn.

Thieves.
What was cry baby Boehner complaining about in the first place? That a budget bill was leaked to the public before they had a chance to vote on it? Obviously, Nazi Pelozi has educated Boehner on her vision of open government.
America to Boehner: “ARE YOU KIDDING US???”
Even a rhinocerous? Of courserous! The cowardly lion needs to be reminded that conservative groups represent millions of people. The business lobbyists represent dozens of corporations. MCconnell now has a worth of over 40 million representing the lobbyists. It is (quoting Pelosi) time to drain the swamp.
Republicans will face intense pressure over unemployment benefits

[snip] The imminent expiration of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program for 1.3 million Americans is mostly being treated as a fait accompli in Washington... (Dems have created an interactive map showing how many people in each state stand to lose benefits.)... This strategy includes placing Op ed pieces by Democrats in papers that serve the districts of top Republicans, such as this one by Rep. Sander Levin in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the largest paper in John Boehners home state. The game plan is granular: One Democrat points out to me that stats are available on how many would lose benefits on the county level, and that Dems are trying to push these numbers into the coverage, because it is tangible for people in local communities.

I think we have all said it. The business community has been uniformly frustrated at how strident the ideological groups have been in defiance of reason, said David French, senior vice president of government relations of the National Retail Federation.
Some people would be much happier in Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Afghanistan, or one of the other countries with strong government "leadership." By the way, Sunday is Double Double Dessert Dessert Day Day. Don't be late.
Take back the government on conservative at a time. It took one hundred years to get this bad and it will take a couple. to win it back.
A majority of elected members on the Hill are bought and paid for.
A majority of elected members on the Hill are building their rolodex for their lobbying careers (where they pull in the big bucks).
Serve the people. Laughable. They’re in it to have power and make money.
These fools are going to cause a third party to form. That will make the republicans like the Whigs of yesteryear — defunct.
You are right. I won’t be persuaded to vote for anyone again who is not a true conservative. I am content in my belief and won’t be cajoled into the “next best candidate” ever again. It gets us nowhere but supremely pissed off and betrayed.
I know when I go places like Florida..... its like being in a foreign country. When the Tea Party meets in my area... we meet at the local gun range. :)
I really think the times have changed so much, and people are so different and diverse across this country.... that it has become impossible for many of the federal laws to be appropriate for all of the country. It no longer makes sense in the way it did when our founding fathers constructed this republic.
Just my opinion.
The only line I am going to ‘stand in’ is one on the front row to watch that whole damned city burn to the ground. Saving that, I’m content to see them (GOPe) finally see their BS assumptions about ‘conservatives toeing the line’ were bogus.
