who participated in the attempted coup This episode just further illustrates what is wrong in DC. Our elected representatives get punished for going against the establishment line and voting their constituents preference.

Rep. Peter King said that if this had happened in New York state politics, the consequences might have been more severe. "Guys take on a speaker and lose, they're never heard from again," he said. That took my breath. I'm done, especially after reading a logcabin piece posted here that called conservatives anything but human beings. Why would I want to do a damn thing for a group such as the repugnant party. They want me gone, I'm gone.

From the beginning, if Boehner had any sense of honor about him, he would have stepped aside. When 60% of Reps wanted him out....

I think you should go back to DU. This is a conservative forum, not a Republican forum.

conservatives who backed BoehnerNo such thing.
If you backed Boehner you are not a conservative in any meaningful sense.

And so when a RINO comes into the Third party then what, Form a fourth party?
Do you understand the cowardice of your pacifism? I'm calling it like I see it.
you're delusional. Not only that but it would certainly hand over every election
from here to eternity to the GOP and the RATs.
Now why don't you give me your argument in favor of that Third party and
sell me on it. I'll try to keep an open mind.

Face it, once they are in office we have no influence on our elected representatives. The only thing we can and must do is everything in our power to ensure those who voted for Boehner get removed in their next primary. Don’t let time reduce your outrage, carry it with you to that primary.

This is a conservative forum, not a Republican forum. Thank you for making another good point. Third party, not if hell freezes over.

I was recently admiring Marsha Blackburn now thats gone. Any Republican who votes for the liar boehner gets no support from me. Her support for Lamar! in the last primary was a pretty good clue to me of her core. But, I know the feeling. Phil Roe (TN-1) got absolutely savaged for his Yea on Cromnibus; and silly me held out hope that he would respond to that message in the Speker vote.

Hopefully, this will be Boehners last term.With any luck he will retire to his 3/4 of a million dollar SW Florida condo and hopefully never be heard from again until emphysema takes its course.
What we need to do is prepare a new conservative leader to take his place two years from now.

I think you have failed to see my point. You say you prefer the dishwater Republicans to any potential conservative Third Party. If you don’t want to advance conservative ideals, you should leave this forum and go to DU.

Perhaps we need to find out what compelling “dirt” it is that the Obama and Jarret have on Boehner. Perhaps it can be used to prosecute him????

Boozy Boner the liberal ladies man likes kissing Nanners and hugging on Joyless Behar while a little sauced up. Guess a boozy brown tan man excites the GOP-e too. Or is that GrOP-e?
Gutless wonders ride again.

The GOP CREATED RomneyCARE and RomneyMarriage
and STILL SUPPORTS both - and arming al Qaeda —
against its voters.
The GOP is the DNC.

You have an open mind after threatening violence? And your post to another Freeper that not if hell freezes over shows you have a hermetically sealed mind.

My guess is that Boehner is little more than a corrupt politician who has been compromised by the left for some time.
He has probably played fast and loose in his supposed not so blind trust with stocks. And, rumors are he had two gal pals one a lobbyist. He probably has been compromised just like the regime did to John Roberts for smuggling in his kids from Central America. It's who they are.
