Speaker of the House vote [Live Thread]

January 6, 2015

[don-o]

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

[RKBA Democrat]

Well Norm, I got some good news for you, and some bad news.

The GOOD news is, you’re gonna get your pony.

The BAD news is it’s going to be served to you in small portions during your stay at the Pelosi Center for the Treatment of Thought-crime and Antisocial Behavior.

[Norm Lenhart]

Thats fine. I’d rather be reeducated by force than be a drooling moron still running around FR telling people to stick to the GOP of my own free will.

One is truly mental, the other is a political hostahe. And God knows FR has plenty of the former.

I hate to be jaded but you are prolly right.

[Norm Lenhart]

They obviously like the Skittles slogan...”Taste the Rainbow”. They must. A lot of them do it often enough.

[Norm Lenhart]

Several hours have now elapsed since the great Cave of the GOP.

Not one public figure/radio personality on the right who threatened to leave the GOP, has yet. Can anyone explain this baffling occurrence?

[sport]

It would not surprise me if he has behind the scenes. Without a doubt he has sent signals to them advising them they don’t have to worry about him doing anything to upset the applecart.

[Ray76]

The apple cart needs to be flipped and splintered.

[windcliff]

So funny.

[sport]

I agree.

[sickoflibs]

RE:”the rebels lost cause too many DEMS were absent. Nobody calculated that. For each 2 DEMS absent, Boehner needed one fewer vote.”

No attempt to get them on board?

I guess they really weren't committed to the cause.

Maybe we can defeat them in their primaries.

[sickoflibs]

I am watching Hardball and they are predicting that Boehner and the others will completely ignore anything that those who voted against him say and round up a few Dem votes to take their places, on stuff they (we) hate,

In other words this didn't scare him at all, the opposite.

Lets see how it plays

[dfwgator]

Does anyone in their right mind still believe it’s possible to work within the Republican Party?

[Impy]

You know, it’s a shame that former Heavyweight Champion James “Buster” Douglas didn’t receive any votes for Speaker, cause that would have been ****ing funny.

[Blue Highway]

I heard a 10 minute dialogue he had specifically talking about SNapple and how he stuck with them since the early days. I think you don’t have a clue as to his sponsors ditto head.

[sickoflibs]

RE:”You know, it’s a shame that former Heavyweight Champion James “Buster” Douglas didn’t receive any votes for Speaker, cause that would have been ****ing funny.”

How about Donald Trump?
I mean he knows how to play to a audience and camera.
And he is very entertaining.

[Rodamala]

Then why has no one nominated LAZ?

I already nominated you and humblegunner for 2016 President and Vice President... with the stipulation you two get in the octagon to sort out who serves which position.

[Eva]

That ten minute talk must have been years ago, Rush sell his own ice tea, now.

[BillyBoy]

Instead of Gohmert, Yoho, Webster, Jordan, Duncan, Gowdy, Kevin McCarthy, Jeff Sesions, and Rand Paul, here's who would get votes for House Speaker if conservatives on the internet voted:

Gowdy (the only actual member of the House they'd vote for), Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Ted Nugent, Donald Trump, Jeanine Pirro, Mark Levin (whose fans would insist is the only worthy choice on the planet), and Adam Andrejewski (whose fans would all have IP addresses in Illinois, and make the same claim)
