Yup. unfortunaely the most recent example is that posts here helped convince people that JonBon had to be reelected. A mere 2 months ago. Mitch too. I miss the days we all fought on the same team against liberalism.

After a $600,000 yank back, I’d not be voting the way the establishment wanted me to, but maybe that’s WHY they took it back? To show him who was boss? I’d be upset also, if I were you. Of course, our state has only 1 Repub. representing us in DC so how can I talk?

Roskam is my Rep and I’ve called the DC office twice.

Howie Carr just mentioned on his radio talk show out of Boston that Boehner raised a ton of money for Bruce Poliquin for the race in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District last November.

There was a third party candidate, a former Navy SEAL named Bruce Richardson, who ran as a third party last November 4th and received 11% of the vote.

I voted for Bruce Poliquin but, if he votes for Boehner, I’ll never vote for Poliquin again for any office. Poliquin can go pound *hit if he votes for that scumbag Boehner.

Boehner is in bribe city, or will promise punishment to any who try to vote him out.

Dan Horowitz of Conservative Review.com on Howie Carr says it’s very close. A couple of commits by the right reps can bring in a bunch more. He also says right now B doesn’t have 218.

Re your #76:

“Has anyone been fired, retired, gone to jail over what Gowdy’s Committee has discovered?”

I’m not holding my breath, nor am I expecting any of this “Bombshell evidence” about Caliph Obeyme’s foreign born criminal usurper Saudi plant domestic enemy status to make a piddle spit of difference either.

I hope he’s right. I want to be wrong. I REALLY want to be wrong.

Tomorrow will tell the tale. I am not concerned about being wrong I’m wrong. May I eat those words.

Grothmann has been bought and paid for with a plum committee seat. He will be voting for Boehner.

Tomorrow's Speaker vote is precisely why I wanted Stroebel to win the seat. Stroebel absolutely would have voted to oust Boehner.

The only thing that matters is how they VOTE, and BEHAVE . If nothing changes, the big money will have bought them off. A + B = C.

“You’d be amazed what posting here can accomplish...”

I agree that the opinions of others do influence. I just got off the phone with my rep’s office asking him to vote against Boehner and it was a happy thank you.

Thanks for the update.

Why do they always tell conservatives that for the good of the party, we have to go along. Why can’t Boehner resign as Speaker for the good of the party?

Not in the GOP. A+B equals what their sycophants say it does. And you hate America if you don’t comply.

Great news! I hope he’s right. Maybe if more see that Boehner can’t get to the magic number, they’ll rethink supporting him.
