Newt Gingrich ‏@newtgingrich

I am deeply committed to the reelection of Speaker John Boehner. With his leadership there are more House GOP than any time since 1928
_______________
Change "With" to "Despite"... other than that, I'm hardly surprised.

[Norm Lenhart]

Maybe when Bhoner skates and Mark Levin doesn’t quit the party...again... people will reconsider supporting him too. But I doubt it.

[Excellence]

Okay, I boo-booed. It wasn’t @For America, it was @TPP. Also just called Paul Cooks office in DC, vote isn’t until tomorrow. Cook hasn’t even landed in DC, which really pisses me off. I expect the people who work for me to WORK for me.

Caller: Gohmert Is the Man to Beat Boehner

RUSH:
Yeah, but it depends on how afraid of him they remain. I mean, the old saw about if you're gonna take the king out you better succeed, 'cause if you don't, and he's still around, you're gone.'

" Newt Gingrich ‏@newtgingrich I am deeply committed to the reelection of Speaker John Boehner." Another member of The Ruling Class has spoken..

[Norm Lenhart]

He posted that from Nancy’s couch. Guess it was too comfy to leave entirely.

[novemberslady]

People didn't vote for republicans last election.
They voted against the democrats and obama.

Boehner had NOTHING to do with taking the senate or gaining more seats in the house.

People in the real world are sick of his golf games with his good friend obama and want him gone.

[Norm Lenhart]

No such thing. You check a fox for. there is no against. What you intend is meaningless. Your vote is FOR.

[traderrob6]

Talked to my Cogresscritter’s office for S Illinois and they said they’ve received quite a few calls already about this. Told them if Shimkus votes to retain Boehner I’ll vote for anyone else besides him in the next election including a Democrat!

We’ll see.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Maybe Nancy gave Newt some of her free VISA IPO stock?

[leapfrog0202]

Agreed Alan. What a jerk. I let him know what I thought. Not that anyone cares.....

[who knows what evil?]

With his leadership there are more House GOP than any time since 1928/

ROTFLMAOPIMP!!! Newt has been inhaling too much of his wife's hair spray again...

[Norm Lenhart]

A fox, a box, or green eggs and ham. But For regardless.

[novemberslady]

no

[Norm Lenhart]

Her Amnesty made wine.

[apoliticalone]

“We must unify and keep our powder dry and pick our battles. this is the wrong fight at the wrong time!”

Agreed. Or the other common politician statement is “we must look forward not backward “, i.e. it really means we will never learn from our mistakes or hold anyone accountable.

One big difference between Ds and conservatives is we hold politicians accountable. Ds will let the corruption slide for the pols in their club. Ds believe that Party and votes mean more than ethics. I was glad to see Grimm go.

[Norm Lenhart]

Please provide a single American ballot with a box marked “AGAINST” near a candidates name.

Otherwise, YES.

[Norm Lenhart]

When do we do that. The mere fact this thread exists proves we do not.

[novemberslady]

No
I won't jump into the argument you've been trying so hard to bait someone into on this thread.

But carry on...

[Norm Lenhart]

What baiting? If anyone here can post an example of one incorrect thing I said, they should do it and correct me with proof.

Since no one has, what does that tell you? Its all true.
