Two members taken off Rules Cmte yesterday after voting for a dif House speaker. Let's all vote "NO" on all rules until they're put back on!
Can they vote HELL NO?
We’ll see.
Not holding my breath, and remain with my prediction that thanks to Bonehead and McDorkell, the GOP is dead, dead, dead.
May both their graves be located under a septic tank.
Sooner rather than later.

Boehner seems to get his marching orders here:

Rebecca Tallent, his amnesty architect, and Brett Loper, former deputy chief of staff, both worked or now work for the bipartisan think tank.

Exactly!
Thanks for that excellent research.
I was just commenting on another thread that Boehner acts like someone who is being blackmailed.
This would give the disgusting new HOR members who campaigned as constitutional conservatives and actively solicited for campaign money as such to redeem themselves.
Check out post #6 for some good research.
Tom Delay was on Cavuto last night and said the cryin Cheeto was in deep trouble if he did not want to listen to his detractors.

Louie Gohmert: Does Leadership Staff Call the Shots?
By David Eldridge

(snip)
In an appearance on Fox News to talk about the aftermath of Tuesdays failed revolt against Boehner, Gohmert criticized the removal of Reps. Daniel Webster and Rich Nugent, who voted against the speaker, from the Rules Committee in the 114th Congress.
We were going to work together after the battle was over, then were told its not over. Were going to screw you over. And its one thing when you get hurt on your own exercise equipment, but its another when your own speaker does it to you, the Texas Republican said.

If I woke up some day and was told, Well, youre out, your party turned against you, I would literally be able to say, Thank you, God. I thought I was going to have to keep doing this job.
He also questioned whether the decision to remove Webster and Nugent was made by Boehner.
We need to find out was this from the speaker or was this from his speakers staff? Ive had more than one of the speakers inner circle say, you know something I know we can work on together is getting the speaker back in control.
Its something [former Rep.] Dan Lungren had commented about when he was in Congress and then went to be attorney general of California, then came back. He said, I couldnt believe how much members lost control and leadership staff were running Congress. And that is something that needs to be worked on and changed.
I predict they will get their Rules Committee seats back and everybody will make nice with each other.
Al Gore reincarnated.
I wonder how all our “Conservative” freshmen are going to vote on this?
More like complicit. A true wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I don’t think we can take another Al Gore, one was too many.
I seem to recall an article I read saying that it was Boehner’s STAFF that notified Webster and Nugent.
But now I can’t find it again.
