What drama: Bachmann, Garrett, Blackburn wait till LAST MIN to cast vote for Boehner, bring the vote from 17 defections down at final second— Robert Costa (@robertcostaNRO) January 3, 2013
“The deal Boehner & McConnell gave them seems to be that they will use the kenyan as cover to open the spending spigots. The lobbyist payola will flow generously to those who play ball.”
Bingo.
Yeah, that’s why Rove gave her no money. What if the alternative was Cantor? Is he any better than the crying creep Boehner? I think not. If the alternative was a Louis Gohmert or Steve King, THEN her vote would have been shameful. Bob
Boehner got picked again because there was no alternative. Pelosi would be a worse disaster.
The only way to change the political dynamic is to start a third party, one with no baggage.
Shame on Bachmann!
Now I know she is a faux conservative.
“She always was. She, merely, used conservatives as her stepping stool. The big mouth is a deceiver.”
*****
Bingo. We have a winner. Remember that she had no problems working for the IRS shaking down people prior to being elected to Congress.
Huh? Are you that naive? Are you part of the GOP-e machine? Boehner has more often than not strongly side with those who push Tyranny.
Anyone who can view objective reality can easily see that Boehner is an enemy of Liberty.
Boehner has shown himself to be 100% of the side of those who worship at the Alter of State Power.
I agree with much of that. But that’s the problem. conservatives are like cats and won’t unite. Although the field wasn’t very strong perry, newt, santorum would have been far preferable to romney. Yes they had weaknesses and none of them were pure. But we are a long way from pure. We are down into deep RINO turd.
Our only hope of defeating RINOs like boehner and romney is to unite around conservative alternative candidates. Nine house members voted for six different alternative candidates to boehner. Pathetic.
When that doesn't work, please switch to the next Stupid Party talking point of 'we need a bigger tent' and tell us all the rest of the values we can cave to.
When all else fails call everyone a liberal because they refuse to support liberal pandering members of the Stupid Party.
Trust me, napscoordinator can't enlighten you. He has no conservative current, dim is dim.
Wrong! Conservatives picked Newt. Those against Newt picked santorum, the one who is KNOWN for taking one for the team/GOP. They learned nothing and,thus are not unteachable. The reason why santorum didn't drop out was to prevent Newt from winning against THE TEAM/GOP/Romney.
I understand the frustration. Just be aware that voting 3rd party will elect more democraps and get ready for more socialism, more free stuff, higher taxes, devalued dollar, gun control, abortions on demand paid by tax payers, open borders for more importing more democrap voters, etc etc.
We are already headed that way any way. Electing more democraps will just hasten the process. If that makes you relieve your frustrations, I can understand it also.
Agreed, but not as much as the enemy within. A conservative house could have kept a lot of this from happening. The leadership is a disgrace. They allowed Holder to escape, Clinton to dodge, and Reid to intimidate. Now they have allowed this tax increase by voting for a bill they did not read. Not my kind of people.
When you consider the GOPe defitiion of a republicans, it was clear that I was the RINO. Left the party 2 years ago. It was the day Boehner was elected house speaker and started tearing up. Phony as a 3 dollar bill.
Boehner and company are the republicans. The conservatives that still have an (R) beside their name are the RINOs.
Thanks!
The Speaker of every legislature has power over the individual members in Washington and at state capitols.
A former Speaker of Florida’s House happens to be a guy named Marco Rubio.
I have stated that over 90 percent of the Republicans we elect have no principles. I am more convinced of that than ever.
No real conservative would ever vote for the weeping Boner.
Marsha Blackburn is my representative and it’s time for her to go. She’s all hat and no cattle.
So, even without these three voting for Bonehead, he still had a majority of votes, so all the pointless bashing of these three is ridiculous. They could have voted present, and Bonehead would have won. They could have voted for Pelosi, and Bonehead would have won.
This looks like resigning one’s self to the realization that Bonehead was going to be speaker regardless, so they pretty much had to get on board or lose their influence.
A total impossibility. With 217 required to “win” and not enough Dems to get that number she’d need GOP votes and wasn’t going to get any.
But enough votes to keep Cry-baby from getting 217 would just create another vote. These so-called conservatives proved to be cowards yet again.
What happens to “conservatives” and “Tea Part Conservatives” once they get to Washington? They all seem to cave.
How's that constitution party working out for you?
You need your prescription refilled. Quit worshipping at the alter of pretend conservatives who NEVER back up their rhetoric. Oh, btw, Santa Claus isn't real either.
