Statement on Vote for Speaker Boehner (Scott Perry, R-PA-4)
Office of Congressman Scott Perry ^ | January 6, 2015 | Congressman Scott Perry

Posted on 01/06/2015 11:41:32 AM PST by Timber Rattler

“I’ve emphatically shared my disagreements with House Speaker John Boehner. As one of the leading conservative Members of this body, I opposed the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill that did nothing to block President Obama’s unilateral amnesty order, I fought for tougher stances on out-of-control spending, government regulation and ObamaCare, and I refused to vote for a watered down NSA spying bill, amongst myriad other initiatives – most of which unilaterally were ignored by the Democrat-controlled Senate. But the 2014 elections just changed this equation.

This is not a choice about who is the most conservative. It’s a choice about who effectively can lead a broad coalition, including conservative viewpoints, to get our Nation back on track.

We must unite behind our conservative beliefs – not fight with each other. I respect those who disagree with my decision, but instead of demonizing our fellow conservatives or, in some unfortunate cases, questioning my integrity, I urge them to help convince our fellow citizens that our conservative vision of greater freedom and opportunity for all Americans is the key to America’s renewal.”

Another TEA Party guy who's been bought off, this time Scott Perry in South Central Pennsyvania, who replaced Todd Platts.

What a disappointment!

This is why two year terms in the House are a good thing.

Poser.

They have decided to hang together. The American people might just give ‘em what they want.

” I urge them to help convince our fellow citizens that our conservative vision of greater freedom and opportunity for all Americans is the key to America’s renewal.””

Scum. America has been sold to big business. Obama is dismantling the USA, and Boehner & Co have been bought off.
The only hope we have, albeit slim, is a multi-state revolt.

Not another vote for the GOP. Not from me. Ain’t gonna happen. I’m done. I don’t care if they do claim Tea Party alliances. If there’s an R next to their name, piss on em.

Really?

Out of 435 House members (and the quarter billion U.S. citizens who could potentially have been elected Speaker), Cheeto was the only one who could "lead a broad coalition, including conservative viewpoints".

Garbage. Absolute garbage. This is who’s representing the people. People are questioning your integrity because you have none.

So the person who can most effectively “get our nation back on track” is the one who failed to lead on those and “myriad other initiatives.”

Just about a guarantee that America will not survive the next two years. Boehner is a sloppy drunk fool and I don't see a change. Hopefully the next two years will remove all the RINOs in the House. Keep track.
