House Republicans on Wednesday morning were calling for the firing of the Republican Study Committee top staffer after he was caught sending e-mails to conservative groups urging them to pressure GOP lawmakers to vote against a debt proposal from Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Infuriated by the e-mails from Paul Teller, the executive director of the RSC, members started chanting “Fire him, fire him!” while Teller stood silently at a closed-door meetings of House Republicans.

“It was an unbelievable moment,” said one GOP insider. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Teller and other RSC aides sent a Tuesday e-mail to outside conservatives seeking to “kill the Boehner deal.” The RSC emails were sent to a listserv with conservative activists.

If his point was along the lines of “Kill-it-because-it-does-absolutely-nothing-to-lower-
the-deficit-or-help-America”, then I agree with him.

He’d already be gone if I was the one with the authority to fire.

They want to fire this guy instead of Boehner?

Hapless, hopeless, gangrenous party.

Fire him for exposing this “Boehner Deal” as a sham? He did the country a great service, IMO.

Yes, NAME NAMES!

Levin is gonna rip these GOP Hacks a new one.

So it’s ok for all the old retired GOP hacks to come out and pressure
the Freshmen, but not ok for the RSC to do the same.

The RSC fights for conservative values. SEND MORE E-MAILS

Boehner seemed to be doing so well only to crumble at the end.

This article is very discouraging and suggests that the GOP establishment is only slightly less statist than the RATs. Outside of the Tea Party, no one is serious about fixing this mess.

Crucify him! He speaketh against Caesar Obama and Pontus Boehner and denies our great gods of Eternal Spending who reside in the hallowed peaks of the Federal Reserve.

Gleefully, Politico reports on RINO attempts to punish TEA Party supporters.

Fire the RINOs or fire the whole GOP, is what they'll get.

And what about all the old retired GOP hacks pressuring the freshmen?

The RSC promotes conservative values. Nothing wrong here.

What’s wrong is Bonehead and Cantor’s back room wheeling and dealing. MAKE THE TALKS PUBLIC!

The RINO’s in swing districts will be gone soon enough.

You want to fire the guy trying to make Boner do the right thing? What next, fire any staffer seen at a “tea party rally”
