In the wake of the vote reelecting John Boehner as House speaker, it is worth noting a statement put out by rock-rib conservative Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.):
Some people wrote me encouraging me to vote for Louie Gohmert. I like Louie, but let’s be clear: Louie Gohmert was – is – never ever going to be Speaker of the House. I respect his passion, but he isn’t a credible candidate. That was proved today by the fact that he got three votes, despite all the national media attention he managed to grab. My colleague who got the most anti-Boehner votes was Daniel Webster of Florida who got 12 votes. I like Daniel. He is a nice guy, and a good thinker…but his lifetime Heritage Action score is 60% (by comparison, mine is 91%). And this was supposed to be the savior of the conservative movement? Would the House really have been more conservative if he had won?
The truth is, there was no conservative who could beat John Boehner. Period. People can ignore that, or they can wish it away, but that is reality....

I’ll save a lamp post for her.
The GOP is dead. Long live Conservatism.
The GOP is less trustworthy than Obama.
Which is more stupid?
Mulvaney’s statement today or Gowdy’s statements to the press yesterday after the vote?
A tie?
Most DemocRATS are to the left of Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-un and yet decent, conservative Americans are the people that the state controlled “media” labeled as being radical extremists. Weird sh*t.
All you have to know about this one is she is a Berkeley Law School Grad and support fag marriage. End of story.
I’ll be voting for Hillary. Bring on the collapse.
Yes, the GOP is DEAD. They just don’t know it yet BUT they will! If that doesn’t tell you they don’t want OR need us, I don’t know what will!!
Oh I see..
Boehner had ‘electability’?
So don’t rock the boat by voting for your conscience..
Unless you want to risk his wrath. Which is one-damn good reason NOT TO vote for him- and if he is not elected he has no power to exact any revenge...
RINO hunting season starts now for 2016- we need to start vetting candidates NOW and target these people AND WIN.
Boehner is target #1.
I just sent a thank you note/attaboy to my “crank”, Bill Posey who voted along with 24 other “cranks” against the incumbent Speaker of the UniParty. What a disgusting show of spinelessness from our so-called “Conservatives”.
I agree dware.
The Barbie of the Uniparty Speaks!
It appears Jen is not infatuated with the next POTUS.
Funny isn’t it, in a nation that prides itself on
having a secret ballot, it doesn’t exist in our
congress...
People continuing to support the party of evil are themselves as evil as the party they support. Because they ARE the party. Thats what a party is. A collection of likeminded people working together.
Simple math.
We either fight those people, and yes, the ones HERE TOO, or we affirm their goals. Binary folks. Two sides. Pick one. There is no ‘this one but not that one crap.
Palin, Cruz and ANY remaining conservative need to get out before they tarnish themselves with association.
Nothing worse than hearing a traitor defend and justify his treason.
All yesterday did was prove what I’ve been saying.
Change within the Republican Party is impossible.
It also proved what I’ve been saying. The Freeper Left is determined to continue demonizing conservatives that stray from the GOP plantation. And that the propaganda war for the GOP they wage here and elsewhere will go on until it is decisively stopped.
Because even after the cave, we say multiple posts of Freepers excusing Bhoner, calling for people to stay and all the same crap that got us here to begin with.
A secret ballot would have demonstrated the Republic
Boehner wouldn't survive democracy in action, and he knows it
That is why there will be reprisals !
