John Boehner’s reelection proves we live in an oligarchy, not a republic.

But will you remember how angry you are next election, or will you dutifully do as they (the GOP oligarchy) expect you to do because they are supposedly better than the democrats? Or will you sit down, give this some serious thought, and realize they are not any better than the democrats, they have just not yet been given the opportunity to be as bad as the democrats? So are you going to give them that opportunity? Or are you going to make the decision to never again vote for an evil man (or woman) again? It is time to look at EVERY candidate on the ballot (that means 3rd party) and vote for the good candidate, or else write in the name of a good candidate. If we all started doing this (which in its way is the vision of our founding fathers) we might be able to fix this mess peacefully. Of course, we must also mend our ways and make things right with God. We cannot accomplish anything if we do not do that first.

Mike is made because the representative elected by the people didn’t do what he wants them to do.

Actually, they didn’t do what I wanted them to do, either. But I’m not Mike. I don’t confuse my own policy preferences with the General Will of The People.

If we want an aggressively conservative Speaker, we’ll need to elect a majority of the House majority to be aggressive conservatives.

Made = mad.

Perils of spell check.

The Republican Party is just a reflection of the people who vote for them. Since there is no uproar about John Boehner not ignoring someone for being nuts, I can only occur that most of those who vote for Boehner are fully immature and radical enough to want to crush the conservative segment, beyond elections.

Bottom line the voters were deprived of their wishes by congress people who stuck with Boner for a parking place, or an office with a window, or a committee assignment or toilet seat, etc. F them all!

I just went and bought more refreshments for that tree...in 44 mag flavor.

You know, I am not at all pleased with Boehner, I would have loved to see a true conservative get elected as Speaker.
Do all of you realize that Pelosi got 164 votes? Had 50 or so Republicans voted for a change as many threatened to do, we would have that person back as Speaker, we all remember,” we have to pass it to know what is in it”.
I am sorry, but I love Boehner, compared to that Bitc_.
Looked like to me, a lot of the new Pubs didn’t cast their vote and waited to see if there was a chance to change the Speaker, when it became clear that the votes were not there, they voted for Boehner.

Oh good grief, the rules for electing the speaker haven’t changed in forever...he was elected, get over it and let’s get things done....and yes, he can do it.....sheesh
