Who cares what the “peasants” want? AMIRITE?
Also from this article: “At some point — I suppose each man has a different threshold — the nature of power and corruptibility is supposed to yield to … I don’t know, shame? Or integrity, or something else laudable that bears a relation to campaign promises? Not to sound holier-than-thou, but I’m pretty sure John Boehner did not envision public service as a role in which someone should fiercely cling to power against the wishes of his electorate, and he certainly didn’t hope he’d eventually be that guy. And those occasionally strong and principled members of the GOP caucus surely didn’t all see themselves as pawns needing to kowtow to this eventuality.
Who is well-served in this situation? Rationally, only John Boehner is served by his refusal to step aside. Further — and representing a precise analogy to the GOP leadership’s current sour relationship with its citizen members — the GOP House members who are still providing Boehner with the support he requires to maintain the speakership serve only their own interests, as defined by what Boehner can reward the loyalty with.
Logic: if the House members planning to vote for Boehner feared the voters wrath more than his, then Boehner would be gone. You don’t ignore 75% voter disapproval, 60% for Boehner, if you feel this vote could threaten your 2016 reelection. But they intend to ignore it.
Burn up the phone lines accordingly, folks. Gohmert is doing precisely what you asked of him in November, no?”

Out?
I thought we wanted him Tarred and Feathered and then out.
I read somewhere that Boehner is playing hardball...if true, there is major intimation going on. Please pray for those who are actually taking a stand
Will the outcome of the Majority Leader vote birth a new conservative political party?
A spoof?
Put this jackass in there, wait for the complaints, then throw him out...Get the short attention span crowd all ginned up, then throw out some meatless bones and watch um go crazy. Boehner announces he’s bailing and wants to spend more time with the family. He gets multiple gold plated biggov pensions and everyone is happy. The loot starts trickling into the GOP again and the base is all fired up. The sultans of swindle quietly wink and nod as their limo drives off....
Sadly though, most of these 75 percenters will still vote to re-nominate their lousy House member in their district.
John “K-Street” isn’t going anywhere.
Surely they can’t ignore 75%......surely they have to listen to the people...........................

These two MF’ers continue to slobber all over Soetoro. Worthless morons who need to be fired.
