Here's the list of House members with a spine. I wish there were more, but today proves that most go along to get along.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It was all kabuki theater designed to give certain representatives cover.

I tend to agree, but is the leadership that confident that everyone will follow through. 28 of 29 voting, that’s a very slim margin of victory if you’re rigging. 22-24, perhaps, but 28 of 29?

It was all kabuki theater

Yup. It must have been determined that these were the reps most in danger of being primaried.

[kosciusko51]

Disappointed in Mo Brooks today...

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

One problem I see right here is lack of unity and purpose. It seems that people were off in all different directions. The outcome therefore was never in doubt and hardly surprising.

[conservative98]

Gohmert only got 2 votes not including himself? smh.

[skeeter]

I'm not convinced these members weren't authorized to vote against the speaker as some kind of ploy to ingratiate them with their voters.

I do not believe anything I hear coming out of DC anymore.

[hlmencken3]

Definitely not so in the case of Rod Blum from Iowa, but I think you’re mostly correct.

[CincyRichieRich]

Boehner is a Traitor. He is dangerous because he is either:

1. Ignorant/doesn’t believe 0bummer is ruining the country OR...
2. Does know 0bummer is ruining the country and is ok with it.
3. Third choice does not exist.

The voting was staged to pull in the patriots to vote against Boehner to give him and McConnel a reason to punish them.

We need to not stop calling Boehner’s office.

Pelosi hugged Boehner. Nuff said.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Let the retaliation begin!!!

[CincyRichieRich]

I don’t think Gowdy voted against Boehner or it would have been 29; that is what Rush said, anyway.

[ifinnegan]

Babin doesn’t count because voting present is a vote for Boner.

[Busko]

Same here, Glenn Thompson is now on the assclown list.

[4rcane]

Boehner is crying again during his acceptance speech

[Tzimisce]

A moral vicotry is still a loss.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yes.

[bigbob]

Well played, Trey Gowdy.
