I just moved across town here in Orlando. My new Congresscritter is Dan Webster. Glad to see he ran against Boner, even though he didn’t win.

Gowdy didn’t show up. He claims weather delayed him, but he announced that IF he had been there, he’d have voted Boehner. He is NOT the man people claim he is.

Newspaper article shows 25 voting against. Not sure where people are getting 28?

Just to clarify, #8 “Duncan” is Jeff Duncan (S.C.), and he voted for Trey Gowdy.

Apparently Jimmy Duncan Jr. (TN) voted for Boner.

I agree. Present is the same as voting Boehner. It shows that Babin has no backbone. It was a cheap way out of having to stand up and be counted.

Frankly folks, we’re kidding ourselves. Either we’re as marginally right as they think, or they have nearly joined the Democrats on the far left of the spectrum.

Our values being what they are, it’s obvious who is out of line, but how do we convey that to the populace?

Is it out of line to support:

1. Our Founding Documents, the Constitution of the United States among them
2. A strong defense
3. Reasoned Trade policies
4. A secure border
5. The protection of our own culture, so it survives
6. Reasoned spending
7. Reduction of our national debt
8. A return to sanity regarding the Welfare State, and all it includes
9. A return to reasoned interior policies, that balance protections of our forests with reasoned uses of them
10. Support business and employment in the United States of Citizens of the United States
11. Support of our allies, and firm policies against our enemies that block them and offer them a way to enter the civilized society
12. Policies that build up the United States and do not diminish it
13. Policies that treat all citizens by the same set of rules in all walks of life
14. Policies that seek to block terrorists and disease from entering the United States

The Democrat Party and the Republican Party want very little of this.

They are anti-American. There’s no two ways about it.

Well .... looks like my call to Devin Nunez did no good. I told whoever answered his phone that a vote for Boehner was the same as a vote for Pelosi.

Looks like he is now ensconced in the GoodOleBoy party.

As of just a few minutes ago, I am no longer a registered member of the Republican party of 40+ years. Just changed it online to non-affiliated.

Non-affiliated is where I started and now I’m back.

You would have Nancy Pelosi as Speaker by going in that direction....look at her votes as they were...People would have maintained their vote on the second go round...or the more liberal could have voted Pelosi.

Getting another vote would not have elected another Republican...that was so obvious as the votes were taken, that it would be Boehner, OR Pelosi.

So everybody was afraid to buck the traitor establishment. It’s more proof that we the people have lost control of our government. It’s going to take a lot to restore the republic and end the dictatorship of the elites.
