wow it only took 4 posts for someone with guts to stand up for her. congrats.

It is not about Mia Love. Where was the organized effort months ago to get a conservative replacement for Boehner? My rep Mo Brooks explained it very well this morning. Mid-2014 he was begging established prominent conservative reps to run against Boehner. None of them would do it. This happened throughout 2H2014. Where were the conservative leaders with guts to take Boehner’s place? Then we get this pathetic last ditch effort 4 days before the vote? 25 reps splitting their vote across a handful of people including a Senator?

“Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.), whose nomination for Speaker became public just minutes before the vote, attracted the most votes at 12.

Meanwhile, the other two long-shot candidates, Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) only received three and two votes each.”

pathetic. conservatives must get organized and consolidate what little power we have around a single candidate in situations like this.

It seems the “conservative” leadership is more interested in nest feathering than engaging the RINOs. I see TEA party patriots is making T-shirts instead of targeting specific RINOs for their votes. There is no conservative Tom Steyer threatening smack down for pushing amnesty, etc.

Until Main Street gets some fire power backing us nothing will change. The GOP/MSM/DEM tag team attack on conservatives will continue.

Exactly. Conservatives have got to get organized. That’s the bottom line here.
