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.
Not knowing me personally didn’t stop you from stooping so low as to attack me on my relationships with my family.
Which is something so low that I can`t recall having seen it done before.
You are without a doubt the most nasty piece of work I have ever seen on FR and we could never know each other personally because I don’t hang-out with the GOPe, Liberals or Terrorists.
I am nothing like you. I posted in this thread giving encouragement to Jim Robinson and other like minded Conservative to get Boehner out while there is a chance to do so. No matter how small a chance, it is still worth the effort and even if failed - the political statement against him is important to make.
You have shown a distinct lack of political savvy in surrendering so quickly without a fuss, or you are a sleeper GOPe Troll, or both. I am going with both.
After I posted encouragement to fellow Conservatives, you came into the thread slinging daggers with the most belittling and superior attitude that you thought you could get away with:
“LOL...Where does this wishful fantasy come from?”
You obviously were seeking confrontation so you got it, then you doubled down with your insults:
“Implosion is not sufficient explanation and is a cop out. It smacks of wishful fantasy again.”
You are a GOPe Troll, not a very bright one and you got the confrontation your nasty inner drive was seeking. Only more than you expected as I had to sink to your level and then see you flame me about my family, which again is the lowest I have ever seen. Hope you are proud of that, David.
One of us came into the thread supporting Conservatives in an effort, no matter how small the chance.
The other came in like a real azzclown looking to Troll and ultimately insulting a FReeper about his family.
In light of that fact, your latest insulting and defensive post convinces me you are actually not normal, and even far from it.
