Maybe they were in on the take yet so there was nothing to blackmail them with.

They never removed any leftists. Only a scandal got anyone removed before this.

Boehner not only gave the finger to those congressmen, he gave it to their entire districts who are pleased with them, and to TEA.
He has to go. Tire of the tanned crybaby.

The standard crowd of GOP-E apologists will be here shortly to defend their boy.

When the Republicans retook the House in 2010 and then elected Boehner Speaker I groaned because we all knew he is a career go-along, get-along hack. I had hoped he would be ousted by now. But finally there is now open talk about getting rid of this loser. That’s at least progress.

There needs to be a wholesale leadership change, however, as Cantor and McCarthy appear to be as weak as Boehner. We need someone like Schweiker, Huelskampt, Amash, Gohmert, or Jordan.

Libloather~: (from the article) “ All three lawmakers were reportedly punished for bucking House leaders on important votes.”

What House leadership ? I haven’t seen any !!

I'm curious too.

I wasn't overly impressed with the paid operatives of my local Republican Party. They were entirely too comfortable with evasions and outright lies.

I don't consider myself a member of the GOP.
I am a Republican.

Looks like the “big tent” is filled with RINOs now, and former Democrats are fully in controll of the former Republican Party.

Count me out.

Heard from an insider that Boehner’s people are telling people on the Hill that there are financial irregularaties behind the some of the removals. Specifically something that they aren’t going to make public. Just trust that it’s a good reason, not related to ideology and you’re only getting part of the story.

Not buying it, but that’s what’s being said.

The Tea Party and Libertarian leaning Representatives do not seem to be cowering. I am awaiting Mr. Boehners reply.

Mr. Boehner may be losing his majority.
Pity that.
And what is Mr. Ryan saying?

Maybe “WE” should throw a tantrum.

If enough people flood the phones and emails DEMANDING answers and change - with the threat - NO, Promise - that WE will work for their opponent next election if they do not get in line - be it in the primary and if no one runs against them, cross the aisle. ANYTHING to get them out. Should only take one GOOD arse whipping to bring the next group of Senators to their senses also. As long as ‘we’ do nothing, they will continue to act like they are the pigeons and we are the statues..

The only thing over these slugs heads is FEAR and it should be time for them to learn who they are working for.

I am really impressed when the very people that just reelected these fools are complaining about them before they are even seated.

Did the people think Boner was going to change?

Amerika...you are gone! Both partys want the same thing. Its just a matter of how fast they want to get there.. Totalitarian rule is the game plan. The only question is ,”Who is going to be the quarterback?” Obama is going for the ‘Bomb’ Boehner is grinding it out, yard by painful yard.

How much do you want to bet that crybaby Boehner had a huge role to play in the Florida redistricting of Allen West?

Boehner, working overtime to fragment whatever coalition exists in the Republican House between Republicans and the Conservative Republicans and Tea Party Republicans. It’s past time to dump Boehner. I’ve contacted my Congressman twice about this, I’ll call again Monday. Maybe this time I’ll get a response.

The Tea Party is still a political "babe in the woods" in some respects. I talk to TP people here in PA. My first question is: What ward do you live in and who is your committeeman and committeewoman? I get that vacant look, like "what the hell are you talking about?"

Babes in the Woods.

Until the TPs learn that they must GO LOWER into the Pubbie trenches and root out the fossilized committee people, they will be shouting into the wind.

Before you can oust the likes of the No Nutz Putz, you have GOT to get rid of the polyester people AT THE BOTTOM of the pubbie food chain.

When you understand what I have just posted, you will be ready for 2014.

A contested race for committeeman/woman sends a lightning bolt up the GOP's @$$ like you have never seen.





John Boehner AKA "The No Nutz Putz"

Blow the whole thing up and start from square one.

Any national political party that couldn’t pull it together enough to beat Barack Obama after four years of utter failure isn’t worth supporting.

The Republican “leadership” would rather eat the democrat’s scraps than lose their place at he pig trough.

And they don’t like upstart conservatives and new blood who won’t join the system.
