Well that didnt take long. The election is over and the House Republicans have deposed John Boehner (R-OH) as Speaker.
Meet Speaker Barack Obama.
"The Republicans responded to Speaker Obamas requests. Violating quickly, briskly and exactly every last word of their campaign promises to defund Obamacare and to fight amnesty. The fix was in.
Speaker Obama and his loyal number two, Joe Biden, spent last week rounding up the votes to get their Republican colleagues in the House to fund Obamacare and amnesty plus all manner of spending programs. The Republicans responded to Speaker Obamas requests. Violating quickly, briskly and exactly every last word of their campaign promises to defund Obamacare and to fight amnesty. The fix was in.
And in an amazing feat over in the Senate, Speaker Obama has won an agreement that has him running Senate Republicans as well. After all that huffing and puffing about the executive order on amnesty, a number of Senate Republicans quickly signed up to help the Speaker get his funding for both Obamacare and amnesty.
As noted by my colleague Gaston Mooney yesterday, nine GOP Senators quite specifically made it a point to vote to support Speaker Obamas so-called CROmnibus bill, which funded the Speakers amnesty order. This was moments after voting on a point of order made by Texas Senator Ted Cruz that said the amnesty was un-constitutional. Those nine senators, as Mooney pointed out, were Senators Roberts (R-KS), Thune (R-SD), Burr (R-NC), Fischer (R-NE), Boozman (R-AR), Isakson (R-GA), Johanns (R-NE), Blunt (R-MO) and Hoeven (N-ND).
The Obama lieutenants were out in full force in the Senate over the weekend. There was Pennsylvanias Arlen Toomey oops, sorry that would be Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) doing everything he could to rustle up votes for the Speakers amnesty

Traitors to the Republic!
I respect Nancy Pelosi more than John Boehner. She is more truthful than that slimy Benedict Arnold.
Worthless. Why would any political side willingly give their opponents control over the entire agenda? In two weeks, the opposition no longer run the Senate, but they gave that side everything they want. Worst Speaker of the House in American history. Period.
The Republicans have effectively killed themselves as a party.
Say good bye to the GOP. They are finished...history.The TP now must become a 3rd party....and it will be called the “American Party.”
I’ll lay odds that Obama carried NSA file folders into every one those meetings with their names in bold type font clearly displayed sitting on top of the desk while they “negotiated”
Right.
Politically, the GOP is a dead letter. However, it is a ‘clearinghouse’ for political $$$$$$$$$$$$$, and nothing more.
The new Republican/Conservative politics of the United States will be shaping up in the Tea Party. And under the circumstances, it’s not exactly right to call the Tea Party a ‘third party’ choice, since the GOP is functionally inert and politically neuter.
Conservatives and most Republicans will have to go somewhere. The Tea Party, without compromising it’s ideology, must consolidate its position to absorb the ‘refugees’ from the GOP.
Notice, I say that there must be NO compromise on the very principles without which the Tea Party could never be or see itself as distinct from the GOP.
“Why would any political side willingly give their opponents control over the entire agenda?”
The answer is easy, the Republican leadership are also big government socialists just like their democrat friends, they are NOT opponents of the left, they are opponents to the rule of law, to conservatives, to the US Constitution.
“A PEOPLE UNWILLING TO USE EXTREME VIOLENT FORCE TO SECURE OF MAINTAIN THEIR LIBERTY DESERVES THE TYRANTS THAT RULE THEM” STOCKPIRATE

Agreed. They need to move and organize immediately to that end.
You were right.
True. It is clear they are on the side of the lobbyists and the ruling class and don’t give a damn about the voters.
Its time for the third party; so-called “conservatives” like Deb Fischer, Pat Roberts and Toomey have lied out their tails. They have no use for us (except at election time) we should have no use for them (particularly at election time). Obama has his “willing servants” in McConnell and Boehner, if the latter can get his face out of a whiskey bottle every now and then. Its too bad they have the majority of the so-called “republicans” who campaigned (lied) exactly the opposite positions nin both Houses with them.
Not that it mattered this time but I voted against my Obama Republican Senator and Representative. Maybe next time?
As Pres. Reagan said: I didn’t leave the the Democrat party, they left me...
So he joined the only party available and the RINOs then tried to keep him down for 30+ years until he got elected and the RINOs since have tried to quash his principles for the last 25 years...
Anyone can be elected Speaker, not just House members.
Donations to the GOP have to be choked off.
The average Joe in the American Conservative camp can send HIS campaign dollars to the Tea Party... I do.
Boehner no backbone and no balls. Uses a Golf Club for a spine and two golf balls in a sack and Obama calls them test- icicles
