I’d like to know all the names in this “small group”....based on what I’ve seen from some of the Georgia RINOs we have (even a couple of the new ones), I’m thinking their names won’t be on that list.
Any chance the House Freedom Caucus will grow as the reps who voted against our Constitution and identity as a nation hear it from the voters back home?
Boehner just goes to the Dems for votes that he cant get from these folks ensuring that the bills that get to Obama really stink.
I’d prefer “knife in the back” to “thorn in the side”.
Metaphorically, of course ;-)
They must have done something right, the Washington Post sounds upset.
What small group? Boehner led to the left and 2 out of three Republicans went to the right. When over 2 out of three members of your caucus don’t follow you, you have a major leadership problem.
Such an even-handed analysis...the terminology “...right wing renegades...” was so uplifting, sort of like getting a gold star on a grammar school homework assignment!
It’s only a flesh wound? Efforts need to be redoubled.
Does not seem to be hindering him from carrying Obama’s water
I love how people who actually believe in the Constitution are labelled “Far Right”.
The Freedom Caucus needs to become the Freedom Party.
The GOP is wholly owned by The Cheap Labor Express.
Their purpose is to block conservatives, not represent them.
The citizens need representation.
The GOP is represent the employers of the illegal aliens.
The Democrats are representing the illegal aliens.
Somebody has to represent the citizens.
Priebus and the GOP Leadership don’t know the damage they have done. They took the commonly taken road of surrender, but we were watching this time. I am never pulling the R lever again. I will vote for conservative republicans and Libertarians (John Cornyn won’t be getting my R-lever default vote)
Boehner’s problem isn’t the conservatives. His problem is the RINOs!
The Rinos NEVER help him out, NEVER put the caucus before themselves, NEVER accept the slightest compromise.
The conservatives have done all that- but enough is enough.
WHAT BATTLES? We are always told to go along so that we can fight the "next" battle. We were told to that we needed to increase the debt limit so that we could fight the budget battle. Then we were told that we needed to pass the budget so that we could fight Obama's executive amnesty battle. Then we were told that we had to fold on amnesty because we cannot win. We are always prepared to fight the "next" battle. We need to fight NOW!
“Insurgents”... ha ha ha haaaaa!
HOW HORRIBLE! I mean, there's a Constitution and a Bill of Rights to dismantle! Obama is to be made into a King! The Republican party is supposed to roll over and actively assist!..... but these EVIL HOUSE CONSERVATIVES are getting in the way!!!!11!!11!!
The amnesty cake was baked back during the cromnibus fight. They chose to fight “later”.
Then, they chose to attach the amnesty funding to a part of the gov’t that would give dems maximum political strength, DHS.
Then McConnell chose not to use a 51 vote majority to make 0bama veto. Reid would have....
Then a conference committee was rejected, opening the door to the vote on a “clean” dhs bill.
Next, a fed judge will use the fact that the whole dept is funded as ammo to shoot down the 26 state lawsuit.
It was all planned by our GOP-E.
As the unified Republican majority looks to the next big legislative battles over the debt ceiling, the federal budget and the Export-Import Bank, the Freedom Caucus may be the best illustration of how intra-party discord could dramatically slow the pace of business in this Congress and likely bring it to a complete halt.HUH?
