During the last Congress, I led the fight in the House to pass conservative bills that offered real solutions to the challenges we face as a nation. Now we have a Republican Senate to join us in this endeavor. Conservatives have a real opportunity here to affect change in Washington. But in order to do so we must now be united in the fight against Barack Obama and his failed policies.
When we met as a conference on November 13th, Republicans nominated John Boehner as their candidate for Speaker of the House. No one ran against him for the position and our leadership team was elected by voice vote. Before many of those who now oppose Boehner were even politically active I was challenging him and the establishment politicians in DC. I have put my name forward in a leadership race and, like many other conservatives, was not successful in that race. I will continue to lead the charge as we push our agenda forward and will continue to hold our leadership team accountable.

It was do or die for the GOP, and the GOP chose the latter.
Blackburn is just a good girl doing what she’s told.
The fire and brimstone at home is just show. Gotta keep the brand marketing going, ya know?
Marsha... Marsha... Marsha...
Me too. Marsha, I hardly knew ye!
Here I remember her name came up as a potential alternative to Boehner and yet she herself votes for Boehner? What a crock is right. Her reason for doing what she did sounds like boilerplate that I have heard several other RINOs using. “We all need to unite behind our leader” “Boehner is a true leader” “Now that we have a majhority we will be able to fight Obama” etc. It’s all BS.
...she said, 30 pieces of silver more wealthy.
Thats how they all need to be addressed “Rep. Judas Blackburn, Rep. Judas Gowdy, Rep Judas Issa...
As usual we were outbid by K-Street.
The Republican party of today is totally, and I mean totally run by corporate special interests.
The façade of bullshit is finally gone.
Just look at the prime candidate they are pushing for president.
Case closed.
Blackburn is another fraud.
A fake conservative.
Welcome to the Nothing Party: we who have finally realized that No One represents us.
Who is John Galt!
I thought he invented being Preppers, but I believe it has to do with a book he wrote on the subject.
That is the bottom line. No one represents us.
Several years ago she voted for holding another referendum by Puerto Ricans on becoming a state. It seems that they will keep having those votes until the pro-statehood side gets a one-vote plurality.
Truth, honor, and integrity are scarce to non-existent these days in DC. What is point of voting on the federal level right now?
The comments are merciless.
There are a lot of pissed off people out there today.
Or maybe, Self-Rep. Judas Blackburn, etc. etc.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Regardless that House RINOs have read the Constitution out loud at the starts of the 2011 and 2013 legislative sessions, where domestic challenges to the nation are concerned I suspect that Rep. Blackburn still hasn’t snapped to the reality that one of the very powers that the Founding States allowed the feds to address where domestic issues are concerned was to decide policy for the U.S. Mail Service (1.8.7).
In other words, the Founding States had expected citizens to resolve domestic issues through their local and state government representatives, not the federal government. This is evidenced by the following excerpts.
In fact, regardless that federal Democrats and RINOs will argue that if the Constitution doesn’t say that they cannot do something then they can do it, note that the Supreme Court has condemned that foolish idea. More specifically, the Supreme Court has clarified that powers not expressly delegated to the feds via the Constitution, most domestic issues in this case, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
