Agreed.

“House conservatives who betrayed Speaker John Boehner” are House Conservatives who honored the wishes of their constituents in reality. Don’t shoot the messengers John.

RINOs and regressive Democrats have torn this country up.

Cromnibus sealed the deal. The corruption is sickening.

[SharpRightTurn]

“some of the speaker’s closest allies, who want blood — and seem angry he isn’t willing to spill it.”

We want the names of these Boehner sycophants.

[MulberryDraw]

if they see Boehner waffle, they’ll recognize there’s no fallout from crossing him.

But will there be more fallout for those that did vote for him?

[GilesB]

“Betrayal” implies a loyalty owed.

Boehner is owed no such loyalty. The loyalty the members owe is to the country and to their constituents.

Boehner’s job is to help them, through the party caucus, to honor those loyalties. It is the gross failure of the Speaker and the party in this regard that has led to the revolution in the ranks.

Yeh I doubt this has anything to do with Boehner’s style. He just came under too much pressure from the public.

Boner kissing Pelosi is all you need to know about him. I think the tanning bed has fried any brains he may have had.

Dissenters...betrayal!

Yep, no bias there.

“We need to get to the bottom of the guys who voted against [procedural motions], and we need to understand why they voted against that, and then we need to know why people voted against the speaker yesterday,” said Rep. Devin Nunes, the California Republican whom Boehner installed as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. “Name calling — saying ‘RINO’ and ‘establishment’ – that’s name calling,” Nunes said. “We need to understand why they voted the way they did.”

Nunes wants the panel that chooses committee assignments to reconvene and take action against the dissenters, and he’s planning to draft a Republican resolution that would forbid people who vote against the speaker from leading subcommittees.

This GOP-E hack Nunes should be TEA Party primary target number 2 right after McCain in 2016.

This Stalinist apparatchik deserves a serious primary challenge in 2016.

Nunes, McCarthy, Scalise, and (Pete) King, for starters...

I called his office 3 times. They never get a real person on the phone, just leave you on hold forever. I ended up leaving messages that to retaliate against them was the same as retaliating against the American people that voted for them and that he was exhibiting thug-like behavior in the manner of Obama and Holder. Also said that he should never go after people in his own party that you NEVER see the dems doing that. Think I will call again today. Make some calls.
