Displaying a rare flash of anger, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday chastised the nearly three dozen Republicans who voted against a procedural rule that structured how a critical trade package was brought to the House floor.
“I made it pretty clear to the members today I was not very happy about it,” Boehner told reporters after a closed-door meeting with rank-and-file members at the Capitol Hill Club. “You know, we’re a team. And we’ve worked hard to get the majority; we’ve worked hard to stay in the majority.
“And I expect our team to act like a team, and frankly, I made it pretty clear I wasn’t very happy,” he added.
In the meeting, Boehner told his fellow Republicans it was “nonsense” that some of them had voted against leadership, according to a GOP lawmaker in the room.
His remarks, which sparked applause, are notable because GOP leaders for days have been highlighting Democrats' "civil war" over trade.
Boehner didn't just give GOP rebels a tongue lashing. GOP leaders also booted three defectors — Reps. Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.), Steve Pearce (N.M.) and Trent Franks (Ariz.) — from the Republican whip team after they voted against the trade rule, National Journal reported.

Secret law pushed by Obama - and Boehner, Ryan, et al. carry the messiah’s water. No more need be said on the subject.
Hey drunkard bonehead,
Room temperature.
Look it up.
Assume it.
Now, you liquid POS.
Of course, he was referring to his fellow democrats.
I guess Bonehead doesn’t think that Elected officials should represent their states but rather join the team ?
First thing I taught my children was the definition of a representative republic.
Time to go folks. We are gone, nothing left to reform. The restoration must start soon.
Democrats and Republicans are only fighting for power, substance is nothing to either of them. We are only useful idiots to think otherwise.
There you have it, straight from the horse's mouth.
Party over principle.
That’s because he is a sissy assed coward. He is scared to death of Obama, Hillary, Pelosi & Reid.
Washington warned us.
So the liberal-republicans are having a fit because the Conservatives are standing by the promises they made to their constituents?
Waiting for the FR RINO lovers to argue why we need to support treasonous backstabbers.
“You know, we’re a team. And we’ve worked hard to get the majority; we’ve worked hard to stay in the majority...
Yeah, unfortunately you want to play for team Zerohissef.
Screw you. NO!
“You know, we’re a team. And we’ve worked hard to get the majority; we’ve worked hard to stay in the majority.
“And I expect our team to act like a team, and frankly, I made it pretty clear I wasn’t very happy,” he added.

Meaning that politics is nothing but a game to this a-hole. He considers the D v R to be a sporting event. The only thing that matters to him is the score at the end of the game he is participating in.
Not what is best for America. Not what is best for Americans. Not how to reinstate the Constitution. Not how to make the citizenry flourish. Simply that “the GOP-e is a team and by gosh darnet we should act like one!”
Yes, he did. I guess Bonehead doesn’t consider his words to be influential.
If only he’d get this pissed at the RATs!
This a-hole is the problem..
The time is now or never.
Translation -- do what Mitch and I say and shut up.
Boehner thinks they work for and answer to HIM.
If your representative was one of those who stood up to the cry baby, please make sure to send them an email or give their office a call and show your support!
Those conservatives are so mean and nasty to me. Why do I have to put up with their nonsense?? Why won't they stop picking on me? It makes me want to cry.
