Did not see one yet. Trying to access CSPAN on line. Site looks different. Are they requiring a registration to watch?

Gowdy stayed home (basically called in sick due to weather) but said he wasn’t going to vote against Boner.

Gowdy said he couldn’t get there due to weather but that if he could have, he’d have voted Boehner.

Gowdy said weather cancelled his flight to DC this morning... Would’ve voted for Boehner though.— Matthew Boyle (@mboyle1) January 6, 2015

Nadler a no show—could not get through the front entrance.

Yoho voted for himself.

[Yaelle]

Theater. A lot of the rebels are fake - they were allowed to be rebels to fool folks back home. If their vote had been needed, it would have been for Boehner.

I hate it all.

You know, the low info voters are out working or having fun right now and aren’t sitting here like us with nausea and despair. I wish I was a low info voter.

[freepersup]

LOL!

Thanks—did not hear the clerk say anything.

I could be wrong, but he said Yoho and then a pause, then Yoho and then I heard chuckling so I assumed he voted for himself. Maybe not there?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Thanks, I swear the clerk did not repeat that...and got me

[onyx]

What a creep.

[pugmama]

Just issued a statement said he was with Boner,but could not get there to vote.

[Founding Father]

Rush is an entertainer in it for himself. Not that that’s bad, just understand he’s in it for the dollar....for his wallet.

[reaganaut]

well if people would get out of the GOP a ‘third party’ would become a second party. It has happened before. But, no, people complain about the GOP yet still vote for the bastards.

[demshateGod]

Yeah, screw this “send a message” garbage. It sends the message that they can do whatever they want and still win.

Tea Party darling, Mia Love. Thank you. p.s. No need to send me any more donation solicitations.

Needs to be her first and last run in the House. Terrible disappointment with her, she's not mine but I thought I liked her. We needed her and she sided with the other side.

[onyx]

TY
What a creep.

[Labyrinthos]

Rush never recommends, or gets involved. It’s kind of sad that he wastes his influence.

Rush is first and foremost an entertainer, not a political operator or pundit.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Need to find the dirt on Boehner. Other than being a drunk, there is something else out there.

I just don’t know where to start looking.

[ifinnegan]

Don’t listen to the Cry Babies of doom who work for the Democrats.

Last time 12 did not vote for Boner.

It was twice as much this time.

Diligence, patience, discipline are virtues and necessary.

Those who post nihilism and scorn and defeat are not on the Conservative side.

[TontoKowalski]

Nadler? Is that fatass still in Congress?

Good Lord, I remember him making a fool of himself back during the Clinton impeachment era.

My, how time flies.
