From the article:

The document states Boehner “has endeavored to consolidate power and centralize decision-making, bypassing the majority of the 435 Members of Congress and the people they represent.”

The resolution rattles off seven accusations against Boehner, including that he is using the legislative calendar to “create crises for the American people, in order to compel members to vote for legislation” and using the “power of the office to punish members who vote according to their conscience instead of the will of the Speaker.”

Bravo Mr. Meadows!!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Amen!

That would be the difference between a politician and a statesman.

Did it make Boehner cry?

[Ann Archy]

sadly he will be crushed. Pray for him.

[Ann Archy]

VERY disappointed in JASON Chaffetz!

No doubt the writing in the headline to this article was in keeping with the normal practice, written by headline editor rather than the author of the piece The conclusion of the article:

The hostility could spill into town halls across the country with Republican voters who want their leaders in Washington to fight for more firebrand policies and it could deepen schisms within the GOP before lawmakers return in September. The headline:

The Real Danger from the GOP’s Latest Mutiny Against John Boehner

So the headline writer believes that it is a "real danger" if Republicans want their leaders in Washington to fight for more "firebrand policies"? The real danger is not the latest mutiny but the causes of discontent against John Boehner by the bulk of the party's rank-and-file. We see here a replay in the House of Representatives of the same scenario which recently occurred in the Senate when Ted Cruz stood in the floor of the Senate and accused Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to his face of looking Cruz and every Republican Senator in the eye and lying to them.

The media reacted, inexcusably allegedly conservative pundits like will and Krauthammer not excluded, by decrying the lack of decorum. This article notes:

Republicans will leave Capitol Hill with bruised feelings and suspicions about one another’s loyalty rather than back slaps and best wishes for the extended summer break.

It is past time for preoccupation about decorum and etiquette, it is time to stop treating symptoms and time to stop shooting the messenger.

The GOP is way too dumb to understand that Mark Meadows is actually trying to give the party (what is left) a hand up, and a way back to a viable voting constituency. Most, at least I know I am, are sick of the obnoxious, arrogant, Democrat pandering, self aggrandizing, pompous, attitude of the Congress that was voted in to bring conservative views back to the table. Mark Meadows is a true conservative leader and statesman. Go Meadows!!

[Theodore R.]

I hope people in NC don’t turn against Mark.

Every conservative Rep that Boehner and the leadership have retaliated against should file one of these ‘motion to vacate’ documents each week.

The more they can show that Boehner is losing support, the sooner they can get rid of Boehner as speaker.

Called and e-mailed our congressman (Nugent) yesterday to support Meadows. They said they will get back with us (they always do).
