I guess we don’t link articles anymore?

So.. The entire state of Texas voted against this travesty.

Time to secede and cut off all energy to the rest of yall

[counterpunch]

John Boner failed as a leader.
His ill-conceived filibuster failed.
In the end, he could get his own members behind him, yet again.

The House GOP is faceless and leaderless with Boner as its face and leader.
Boner is more Bob Dole than Newt Gingrich.
It’s time for new leadership in the GOP.
Someone who can be the public face of the GOP, and galvanize opposition to the 0bama agenda.

I think that person is Mike Pence.
Any objections?

So.. The entire state of Texas voted against this travesty.

No, the entire state of TX did not vote against this travesty. All Republicans in TX voted against it, and some Democrats, but I know Doggett, Gonzalez, Cuellar & others voted for it.

And here’s yet another example.

[tbpiper]

John Boner failed as a leader.

Yeah and Colonel Travis was a failure too.

BTW, it's Boehner. Your spelling is either atrocious or juvenile.
