Ever since the mid-1990s, the House of Representatives have operated under an informal governing principle known as the Hastert Rule, a rule that required a majority of the majority in order to pass legislation. Simply put, the rule meant that the Speaker of the House would not allow a floor vote on a bill unless a majority of the party in charge supported the bill, while preventing the minority party from passing legislation unwanted by the majority.
This practice came to an end under Gutless On Principles (GOP) Hall of Shame member John Boehner, and it served as the perfect excuse to wield his iron hammer on a few conservatives.
John Boehner punished three fellow Republicans in the House of Representatives when he kicked them off of one of his leadership teams after they voted against party leaders last week on a set of rules necessary to advance Obamatrade. Boehner made it clear to members that he was very unhappy, saying:
Were a team and weve worked hard to get in the majority, weve worked hard to stay in the majority, and I expect our team to act like a team.
Gee, its just too bad Boehner wasnt all that concerned about being a part of the team when he led the way in passing the bill that fully funded the Department of Homeland Security a few months ago. After pledging to withhold that funding unless Obama reversed his unconstitutional executive amnesty, Johnny Boy caved and made sure it passed. It was the ninth time he allowed a piece of legislation to pass without the majority of his party since becoming the House Speaker.

Boehner doesn’t have a “Leadership Team”. What he has is a “Capitulation Cabal”.
Useless complicit EXEMPT RINO:
"Cruz and Ryan have your back on ObamaTRADE.
We all have your back on ObamaCARE.
You are truly our Master and beloved King."
The Disciple whispering in the Devil’s Ear.

I firmly believe this “trade bill” mess has proven we have the wrong leadership in the GOP.
It is time to vote in, a new leader.
The GOP is truly the Gave Obama Power (GOP) party,
and remains the Enemy of the American people whom
it has chosen to attack with the IRS.
John Boehner, the cigar store Injun, NOT the representative of the People, but the official bunk budddy of the Queer-In-Charge.
FUJB
Nothing good will happen with men like this in leadership.
The new republicans tried to dump Boehner not too long ago. That didn’t happen since there were too many “good old boys” in control, nothing as changed. The only way the bozo rinos will ever get dumped is when they die of natural causes or get hit by some drunken driver.
Boehner is the selected spokesman of the Republican caucus. It is all on the Republicans. He serves at their pleasure. All they have to do is tell him to take a walk.
FUJB!!!! ATHYRIO!
