To add to : #50
If any of the Tea party ‘conservatives’ in the House were serious they would have stepped up and ran themselves, after all Bohner got re-elected after passing that tax bill that was endlessly complained about here (’Bohner sold us out again;)
Louie Gohmert (TX-01) voted against Bohner so he obviously is not looking for his favors.
But he voted for someone not running, totally irrelevant.
It was Bohner or Pelosi, that was it.
So Lou had a chance to make a case against Bohner by running. Imagine this:
“I am running for Speaker Because this House leadership is going in the wrong direction. We were not sent here to keep things running. We were sent here to stop things from running. Elect me and I will act on principle.
No CR, no more borrowing money and since the voters demanded tax cuts ‘on the rich’ by reelecting O then they can pay higher taxes too. We will see how they like their POTUS OBAMA”
It would be glorious,
But no, his meaningless symbolic safe 'no' votes are all he offers. I dont think they are serious.
At this point, I believe that Congress has entered the looting stage. They're grabbing what they can before the ship goes down.
I look around me, and I wonder how many people have any idea of what's coming.
