Update: Boehner elected Speaker, loses 25 votes
Hot Air ^ | January 6, 2015 | Allahpundit

Posted on 01/06/2015 10:45:36 AM PST by C19fan

If you took the over on 19 votes, you won! There were 25 defectors on the Speaker, a number tantalizingly close to the 29 they needed. But then, that makes sense:

Only ONE CONGRESSMAN from Tennessee stood tall today. I'm disappointed in Duncan {who usually is Conservative over Party}, Blackburn, {a very huge disappointment} Roe, Black, Blackburn & Finchner as well as my own Chuck Fleischmann. Chuck has received my last vote and for that matter I am likely done with any choices out of Chattanooga where the RINO Oligarchy seems to be strongest in the state. MY district has northern counties and I hope someone from my portion of his districts steps up next time to challenge him. Only Scott DesJarlais of the Tennessee GOP Congressional members voted against Boehner.

When Corker ran in 2012 his Dem opponent Mark Clayton got my vote simply because he was a Conservative. Corker is a Liberal Enabler.

There is no working within the GOP. It is now as liberal if not more so than the Democratic Party under LBJ. When So Called Face On TV GOP Strategist and Lobbyist get undivided attention of media and our elected and "We The People" are told to go to hell until next election the GOP cause as a party is a lost one.

Conservatives desperately need their own TV Media. It has been done before by Paul Weyrich. Conservatives need to put out their own news and viewpoints minus the FAUX News so called Conservatives who's mugs appear on it several times a day on shows like Hannity. Karl Rove has never spoken for me nor has John McCain.

I'm also tired of the GOP Apologist calling themselves Conservatives. Are they afraid their precious position as ward or precient worker will be taken away? They would vote for Hillary Clinton if she up & changed parties tomorrow and be in here posting what a great victory it is for the party and how we need her in the White House because she's now a Republican. Yes that is the prevailing PartyBot's mentality. I have no political party. My allegiance is too The Constitution of The United States and I will only support those running for office who will do the same. The sizable portion of GOP allegiance seems to be to K Street and it's time Conservatives made them pay dearly for this at the polls and money wise.

One Million Reward Campaign to Find Dirt on Boehner.

Somewhere in the wood works there is DIRT on Mr. Boehner — obviously obama has found it and is using to blackmail poor alcoholic Boehner Boy. Can we find it without the help of the NSA?

- Set up an Escrow Account to accept donations for a reward to oust Boehner under prescribed conditions.

- Criteria for getting the award. Report substantive information that leads to the exposure of financial corruption, influence pedaling or personal peccadilloes, sexual misconduct, etc, hidden misdemeanor or felony due to alcohol use or for any other or any other information that leads to the ouster, resignation or actual criminal prosecution of John Andrew Boehner, Member of the U.S. House of Representatives and Speaker of the House..

How can it be done fellow Freepers? Can we set up such an Escrow Fund using Internet Services? How to draw it up so legally there are not any loopholes for a false winner? I know there are Internet services to be collection points for such a fund.

I am quite serious. And I will donate money. Failing finding this information in one year from the date the fund reaches one million USD the money could go to the person running against Boehner in a Primary or Final Election. Or to be decided by a managing group.

I ask for input as to how it can be done. If you only have ridicule or derision to offer - then please go hug your Boehner teddy bear... Do we make a thread here on FR, individuals post it on other social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and others?

I feel strongly there exist enough expertise among FR members to pull this off. Any idea men or women out there in FR land? Anyone else willing to be a member of a board or committee to oust Boehner via exposure of such information as described.

I fully believe that including FR, Facebook, Twitter and other venues at least one million USD can be gathered and placed in an Escrow Fund, a committee establish to draw up the legal boundaries to protect the fund and for awarding it to a person when conditions are met.

Ideas please?

Amen.

However, I no longer believe the GOP is fixable.

How will you “fix” people that hate your values, hate where you come from, hate your accent, mocks your religion?

How to fix a party that actively works with the opposition to defeat you? Works with the MSM to slander you? Works to steal your livelihood? Your family's private healthcare?

The Republican Party no longer exists, except on paper.

"It is an absolutely impossibility for the GOP to be taken over or reformed."

Absolutely true. What is needed now is for several high profile Republican representatives to renounce the GOP and form a new party with the ardent support of Conservative organizations and leaders not in Congress. To continue the present uniparty charade and think that fighting the establishment from within the GOP is an exercise in futility.

On a national level neither do I. On a state level I believe GOP-E is also creeping in. The governor's family business has done had an official visit from Holder's people. The ones who show up armed with firearms and federal warrants. But Haslam was wishy washy before that happened though.

This session of the Tennessee General Assembly will tell the story of how the Tennessee State GOP will go in the future. Do they focus on restoring & reclaiming state and citizens rights and decreasing government? Or do they instead become more focused on staying in office and appeasement to federal funding and federal agencies and forming more intrusion programs? Common Core needs to go away from the schools and they need to stay away from Obomination Care entanglements as well.

Well said. But I fear that while today we learned how few in number are the dedicated opponents of liberalism, tomorrow is the day we learn how trivial the number who have the courage of their convictions. We are even less represented than we once thought, and while we have a great number of fellow voters on our side, we have very, very few leaders in front of us. While I hold out hope that the high profile candidates in the Senate, the house, state legislatures, and the punditry will coalesce to form this new party, I think we also have to accept that it may have to start on a far smaller stage.

But if that is what it takes, that is what it takes. It is the only route forward.

So bitching on these threads is your effort to change things?

I recommend finding a way to be an effective voice at the local or county level.

No actually, I do the same thing here I do out in the world. I tell people about RINOs and warn them not to vote RINO or they should just stop complaining and be happy with their world since both the RINOs and the dems of the UniParty are taking them in their preferred direction.

You should all be happy. You’re getting just what you voted for and exactly what you support.

You have no idea “what I voted for”.

I work at the county party level and have been told that I was responsible for getting one of our State GOP reps to quit. I faced her at a county meeting and let her know why her support of so called “gay marriage” was unprincipled and unacceptable.
She decided not to run again, and has been replace by a solid conservative.

It’s small potatoes and I can’t prove cause and effect, but the guy who told me said it was based on her immediate reaction and statements she made shortly thereafter.

Nothing’s changed...just musical chairs to make it look like it has.

So we should expect amnesty to go through...with the Rep’s. touting what they got in return which will be nothing. And Obamacare is a settled issue with the Rep’s only playing on the edges of it so they can claim they’re doing something.

I’m fully convinced our elections and Washington operates without us entirely. Tey know how to make it look like the people matter but the deck is always set beforehand.....the game is to play us!

The truth is, I don’t care what you voted for. I know what you support here — a stealth RINO. That tells me plenty. No one wants to believe their RINO is a RINO. No one wants to imagine that the person they support is actively working to stab them in the back. But it’s happening.

My congressman is one of the good ones. He wasn’t always but he has become very good. He is going to suffer because he listened to us. But I praise God for his stand. There are other area politicians who are RINOs, we grow them big down here. But I let them know we are watching, we see what they are doing. Go along to get along, don’t rock the boat people just make it easier for RINOs to keep doing what they’ve always done — pull the wool over your eyes and the eyes of everyone else not paying attention.

God said that he would send people a strong delusion that they would believe the lie. There are many people believing the lie now. It is good that you got one of the out in the open RINOs to leave. It’s the fakes and deceivers who are doing all the damage now. If they would just come out into the open they could easily be defeated, but they know as long as they can fool people they can still achieve their goals.

I will continue to do what I do. Every now and then some open their eyes and take a look. But I know that only the Lord can remove the veil.

And they were.

Trey Gowdy sold us out and spit in our faces. I have been completely disillusioned, but now the truth is plain.

Mark Levin pegged Trey Gowdy as a phony during the Gruber hearings. I am very sickened to come to the conclusion that Mark is exactly right.

Listen to Mark explain how Gowdy and the GOP have planned all along to pay for EVERY PENNY of Obamacare, as well as amnesty and the rest:

I have no voting opportunity for Gowdy.

Who would you replace him with?

Not a template, a name.

If there aren’t about 100 GOP congressmen to be replaced before Gowdy, you’re not paying attention.

ALL of the new GOP Women Reps voted for Bonehead...including McSally. McSally and Love are the two biggest disappointments...as they both ran - and won - with TEA/conservative support.

They blew it on their first day. Nothing but RINO’s...no thanks.

Only three of the new Pub Reps voted against Cheeto...Brat, Blum and Palmer. Brave Patriots to be thanked.

Pathetic that they couldn’t hold onto their supposed standards for more than 1 day. If I lived in their districts & had voted for them, I’d call their phones every single day to complain.

I left a message for Boner because they never actually answer the phone saying that his retaliation was thuggish behavior along the lines of Holder and Obama. I said that retaliating against these fine Americans in his own party was retaliating against the voters that put them there and that democrats NEVER do this to members of their own party. Boehner is our own Eric Holder-THUG
