"Do you think conservatives might have “viable” candidates for positions like House Speaker if we were actually invited to work our way up through the ranks for a change, instead of shut off from a seat at the table? You know, like a healthy political party might do, and not a crony capitalist racket?"

Nails it!! For Boehner has created a nice little moderate chain of command.

Well, conservatives will rise anyway!

Primary Boehner in 2016. Cantor is gone, why not Boehner next?

Please, pray tell, what exactly could John Boehner do that might cause you to not support his sorry example of “leadership?” Remove key conservatives from committees—check. Betray conservatives on the House floor—check. Mock conservatives publicly—check. Betray the promise made to the American people not to pass massive spending bills nobody has read—check. Fund every last cent of Obama’s most heinous policies a majority of Americans oppose—check. Have I missed anything? I think the last time someone in western government had this much tolerance for being road-kill they were named Neville Chamberlain.

Just keep in mind that many of these liars ran on repealing Obamacare. Now you hear nothing about that because after all, they will all have a Cadillac plan and are exempt from the Obamacare disaster.

When people start dying because they aren’t going to the doctor because they can’t afford their $12000 deductible, they will insist they have no culpability.

The GOP is nothing but a deviant group of liars.

THEY imposed RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE and claimed they did not,
.... but they made certain they remained EXEMPT.

THEY campaigned on defending America but in their first
defining move .... supported Obama/Boehner.

The GOP is truly the (We)Give.Obama.Power Party.

Indeed!

That is a nice article.

Most of our now unmasked RINO congress-critters should get a copy of it with some snide comments or questions as to:

- where they stand on the article?
- which of their colleagues does it apply to?
- etc.

They will either do exactly what the article predicts they will do (by sending flowery meaningless words back to you) or they will implicate others when they actually just did the same thing they are pointing to.

The democrat we previously had in this conservative district was permitted by his handlers to vote for Orthodox Americanism to placate his base MORE often on issues like this that were set up to lose than does the republican-only-when-the-chips-are-not-REALLY-down critter we replaced the d’crat with.

Suck-age.

The Republicans lost their spine and reproductive organs before the turn of the century. 1988 would be the latest date any evidence of their existence can be found in the fossilized records.

The vote for Boehner as Speaker proves that they have lost their mind and are now functioning without a brain.

Massive amounts of crony kleptocratic and oligarchic (their is nothing “capitalist” about it) money is all that is keeping the feeble heartbeat and respiration of the Republicans going.

The Fed does not even bother to print the money anymore, they just keep typing more 1s and 0s into their computers.

Change comes when the “almighty dollar” is suddenly revalued as being worth less than used toilet paper.

It will happen, the only question is when?

National survival would require a commitment of the majority of voters to reduce total government spending at all levels, federal, state, and local, to less than 20% (ideally, 10%) of GDP for the next several centuries.

It’s all about the spending; not revenues, taxes, party affiliation, or political persuasion.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people, including the voters, involved in the current political process, have too much of a vested interest in trying to prop up the current uber-Ponzi scheme that is contemporary American politics. About half of them have the intellectual integrity to call themselves “Democrats.” The delusional ones label themselves as “Republicans.”

I don’t see conservatives rising at all if they couldn’t stop Graham, the two McCs, Boehner, Cochran, Cornball, so many merely wearing “R” labels.

That title reminds me of this scene from the movie, “Keeping The Faith.”

If there ever was a time in modern history to absolutely destroy or seriously cut the Democrats off at the knees this is it.

Instead we have an opposition party run totally by corporate lobbyists killing themselves to implement and enable the policies of their so-called opposition.

The average middle class citizen has totally lost representation in the federal government.

It is now an utterly corrupt cabal of thieves for sale to the highest bidder.

If we (conservatives) don't do something to stop the madness, we're just as bad as the politicians who won't stand against the establishment or worse, part of it. We have to find another party we back and escape the prison we are in. We are letting them ruin our kids and grandkids future and believing the lies of the lessor of two evils. Anyone who tells us it will be worse under the democrats will be proved liars. Boehner and Mcconnell is giving obama everything and pretending outrage. So many of us don't vote because of we know what both parties are doing. We need that third party. I personally like The Conservative Party. We also must move in unison to the same party or we won't make an impact. Most important we need a passionate, well spoken and well informed leader. Someone who will explain to the public what both parties are doing, specifically. Yes, they will be demonized...nothing new for us. We need TRUE hope of fixing what the leftist in this country has destroyed. We have to try. At least we are fighting a political war and not a war where blood and lives will be lost. At least not yet. If our forefathers were willing to put their lives on the line, can't we at least be courageous and try something new?

The GOP opposes the Democrats in much the same way that a Heel opposes a Face in professional wrestling. Lots of talk, lots of showmanship, they really do hit each other, and sometimes people do get hurt, but the moves are mostly planned ahead of time. The fans think it’s real, the commentators favor one side, know it’s fake, and act surprised all the time. The only difference is that I don’t think the outcome is predetermined. Sometimes I wonder.

“When stages 1-4 fail, attach a legislative fig leaf to cover your shameful nakedness, which appeases the huddled masses your consultants convinced you are really stupid (sometimes these people are more respectfully referred to as “constituents”).”

This is so beautiful because our little RINO rep Rob Woodall here in GA put up a video of him on the Capital steps getting ready to submit the Fair Tax bill for the 400th time. I just laughed it was so pathetic.

While Boehner plays footsie with Nancy P his own state got regulations dropped on them to the tune of 3.4 Billion$, see

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/6/obama-rules-cost-1815b-2014-report/

Now a good Ohio Freeper that is working to take out Johnnie B could use this to start damaging him - by emailing their groups and tying Boehner to Obama’s regulatory nightmare right there on his home turf. Work from the bottom up that chain to start slapping Boehner now.

I'm proud to say my Congressman (Mark Meadows) voted the right way even though the pressure from the Washington GOP establishment must have been fierce. He is a courageous man and he will continue to have my physical and financial support.

The rest of the "conservatives" who voted for Boehner? If they are smart they will get ready for a primary challenger.
