Sorry to break it to you Dave, but I am not unhappy.
Thought I made that pretty clear by laughing at you.
But since you like to get personal with bringing family into this (oh no - you are not a Troll - LoL!) then let’s look at your real issue...
It is very sad that you have absolutely nothing in your life worth mentioning (Dave W hasn’t created an about page.), even though you have been signed up since 1997 (Btw - I seen Trolls from the 90’s get the ZOT).
Not even a single statement, quote, show of support, or anything that could be understood as conservative, I might add.
Seems fairly obvious here, that to fill the loneliness of your dreadful existence, you need to grasp at any chance to belittle others online.
May I suggest a pet kitten or puppy?
You know, something that is not capable of being put off by your smarmy GOPe superior attitude at its cost - just because there is no other way to inflate your self important ego trip that has driven everyone far from your life.
Btw for the second time you have been slapped down on your “facts”.
Don’t you have a response to post 93 or 103?
Or are you the Cop Out you insulted me with?
Or are you living with the wishful fantasy, that you belittled me with, that I didn’t notice those slap downs of you on the facts?
It was not meant as an insult, but it is obvious you can't handle it when someone simply disagrees with you and you respond in a way I would expect a democrat would, as a hate filled and very unhappy person.
I'm not going to stoop to your level, but I will repeat that on Tuesday, Boehner will be chosen as Speaker of the House. The main reason is that no one is running against him. If someone had announced their availability for the Speakership a few months ago or so and was working hard to secure support, then I believe there would be a chance - that it is possible. However, since no other republican has announced that they are running for the Speaker's job, it seems like Boehner is safe.
There are always a few members who vote present and those votes don't count against Boehner. I suspect there will be 5 or 6 republican members voting present, but those votes are not included in the overall tally. A member has to vote for a person - so let's say a total of 10 members on both sides of the aisle abstain by voting present, Boehner needs only 213 votes to win as opposed to 218 votes if all 435 members voted for a person. Trust me, those members know that voting present does no harm to Boehner's standing...now if they voted for you or Sarah Palin, then it would hurt Boehner. Regardless, Boehner is a careful politician and he knows at this moment, who is voting for him, voting present or voting for someone else.
Unfortunately, I have little expectation for Boehner to do much for the conservative cause, but I do believe there will be tremendous pressure on him to accommodate the conservative base. So we will have to see how Boehner performs, but he hasn't given us much to hope for based on the past, but we can always be surprised.
I wish you well.
